Answer:
atomic mass= 33
Charge= -2
Explanation:
In an atom, are contained three SUBATOMIC particles viz: proton and neutron found in the nucleus, electrons surrounding the nucleus. Protons contain the positive charge of an atom while electrons contain the negative charge of an atom. The number of protons and electrons in an atom determines the charge of an ion (charged atom). Also, the atomic mass or mass number of that atom is got by adding the number of protons + number of neutrons.
In this case where the number of protons and number of neutrons are 16 and 17 respectively, the mass no. or atomic mass is 17 + 16 = 33.
Also, since two electrons are gained by this atom, it means the electron numbe, which is normally equal to the proton number in a neutral atom, will be increased by 2. Hence, the electron number will be 18 in this case.
The charge of the atom= no. of protons - no. of electrons = 16 - 18 = -2.
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
<span>Fe</span>₂<span>O</span>₃<span> + 3 CO --> 2 Fe + 3 CO</span>₂
<span>stoichiometry of CO to Fe is 3:2
molar volume states that 1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L
If 22.4 L contains 1 mol of CO
Then 3.65 L contains - 1/22.4 x 3.65 = 0.16 mol
3 mol of CO forms 2 mol of Fe
Then 0.16 mol of CO forms - 2/3 x 0.16 = 0.1067 mol of Fe
Therefore mass of Fe produced - 0.1067 mol x 55.8 g/mol = 5.95 g</span>
