Answer:-

Oxygen gains electrons and is reduced.

Explanation:-

For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is

4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3

When Oxygen is present as oxygen gas, the oxidation number of O is Zero since it is the only element present in Oxygen gas.

Similarly Iron is present in Fe with oxidation number Zero.

In the case of Fe2O3, Oxygen has the oxidation number -2 while Iron has +3.

So the oxidation number of Oxygen goes from Zero to -2.

Since the oxidation number decreases Oxygen is reduced.

Since reduction involves gain of electrons, Oxygen gains electrons.

The combustion of ammonia in the presence of excess oxygen yields no2 and h2o: 4 nh3 (g) + 7 o2 (g) â 4 no2 (g) + 6 h2o (g) the
VLD [36.1K]
The answer would be 118.68 g.
Explanation for this is:4 moles of NH3 give 4 moles of NO2 
so 1mole of NH3 will give 1 mole of NO2 
43.9 grams of NH3 contains 2.58 moles 
so 2.58 moles will be produced of NO2 
which is 118.7 grams this the amount of oxygen that is used.

Define shielding and effective nuclear charge. What is the connection between the two?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The relation between the shielding and effective nuclear charge is given as

Z_{eff} = Z -S

where s denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge

Z - atomic number

Explanation:

shielding is referred to as the repulsion of an outermost electron to the pull of electron from valence shell.  Higher the electron in valence shell higher will be the shielding effects.  

Effective nuclear charge is the amount of net positive charge that valence electron has.

The relation between the shielding and the effective nuclear charge is given as  

Z_{eff} = Z -S

wheres denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge  

Z - atomic number
