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.

Can you help me on this since im struggling on this since day 1
emmasim [6.3K]
Of Ok here is what I am thinking.

Simple replacement means when one element or compound moves out of another element and is replaced by this compound.

For example if you have A+BC ----- AC + B

Most of the time the one which is replaced is found on the right and the left one is going be only one element or compound.

Double replacement means when the two compounds exchange the positive and negative ions. Ok let see this example:


AB+ CD------- AD+ BC
this means if A have  + sign and D has - sign they will share to form new compound the same is true for DC. Don't forget that all compounds are formed from positive and negative ions. 

                                 QUESTIONS
CUSO4 + NA2S---- CUS + Naso4[ double replacement]
KBR +Pb[CLO3]2------K[clo3]2 +PbBr [ double replacement]
I do not  think these questions can be single replacement.
I hope this may helps you.

As fuel is burned in an airplane, it seems to disappear from the tank, suggesting that matter is destroyed during the reaction.
gregori [183]

Answer:

Well we know that matter is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. It is not destroyed it simply was converted to gas. =D

Calculate the change in pH when 71.0 mL of a 0.760 M solution of NaOH is added to 1.00 L of a solution that is 1.0O M in sodium
Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

It is known that pK_{a} value of acetic acid is 4.74. And, relation between pH and pK_{a} is as follows.

                    pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[CH_{3}COOH]}{[CH_{3}COONa]}

                          = 4.74 + log \frac{1.00}{1.00}

So, number of moles of NaOH = Volume × Molarity

                                                   = 71.0 ml × 0.760 M

                                                    = 0.05396 mol

Also, moles of  CH_{3}COOH = moles of CH_{3}COONa

                                          = Molarity × Volume

                                          = 1.00 M × 1.00 L

                                          = 1.00 mol

Hence, addition of sodium acetate in NaOH will lead to the formation of acetic acid as follows.

            CH_{3}COONa + NaOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COOH

Initial :    1.00 mol                                  1.00 mol

NaoH addition:               0.05396 mol

Equilibrium : (1 - 0.05396 mol)    0           (1.00 + 0.05396 mol)

                    = 0.94604 mol                       = 1.05396 mol

As, pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{[CH_{3}COONa]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}

               = 4.74 +  log \frac{0.94604}{1.05396}

               = 4.69

Therefore, change in pH will be calculated as follows.

                         pH = 4.74 - 4.69

                               = 0.05

Thus, we can conclude that change in pH of the given solution is 0.05.

What mass of oxygen (O2) forms in a reaction that forms 15.90 g C6H12O6? (Molar mass of O2 = 32.00 g/mol; molar mass of C6H12O6
Dafna11 [192]

The answer is: the mass of oxygen is 16.95 grams.

The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:  

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.  

m(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.90 g; mass of glucose.

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = m(C₆H₁₂O₆) ÷ M(C₆H₁₂O₆).

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 15.9 g ÷ 180.18 g/mol.

n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 0.088 mol; amount of glucose.

From chemical reaction: n(C₆H₁₂O₆) : n(O₂) = 1 : 6.

n(O₂) = 6 · 0.088 mol.

n(O₂) = 0.53 mol; amount of oxygen.

m(O₂) = 0.53 mol · 32.00 g/mol.

m(O₂) = 16.95 g; mass of oxygen.
