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.

Naoki's bicycle has a mass of 10 kg. If Naoki sits on her bicycle and starts pedaling with a force of 168 N, causing an accelera
White raven [17]

Answer:

50 kg

Explanation:

Data:

Mass of bicycle = 10 kg

                       F = 168 N

                       a = 2.8 m/s²

Calculation:

                     F = ma     Divide each side by m, Then

                 m = F/a

                     = 168/2.8

                      = 60 kg

                 m = mass of bicycle + Naoki's mass. Then

                60 = 10 + Naoki's mass     Subtract 10 from each side

Naoki's mass = 50 kg

CalcuLate the velocity of an electron ejected if 300.0 mm of light is applied to the surface. A wavelength of 795 nm has suffici
worty [1.4K]
The equation relating velocity and wavelength is written below:

v = λf
where λ is the wavelength in m while f is frequency in 1/s.

Let's determine first the frequency from the speed of light:
c = distance/time, where c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
3×10⁸ m/s = (300 mm)(1 m/1000 mm)/ time
time = 1×10⁻⁹ seconds
Since f = 1/t,
f = 1/1×10⁻⁹ seconds = 10⁹ s⁻¹

Thus,
v = (795×10⁻⁹ m)(10⁹ s⁻¹)
v = 795 m/s
