6 Na + 1 Fe₂O₃ → 3 Na₂O + 6 Fe

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Method One: Refer to electron transfers.

Oxidation states:

  • Na: from 0 to +1; loses one electron.
  • Fe: from +3 to 0; gains three electrons.

Each mole of Fe₂O₃ contains two Fe atoms and will gain 2 × 3 = 6 electrons during the reaction. It takes 6 moles of Na to supply all those electrons.

6 Na + 1 Fe₂O₃ → ? Na₂O + ? Fe

  • There are two moles of Na atoms in each mole of Na₂O. 6 moles of Na will make 3 moles of Na₂O.
  • There are two moles of Fe atoms in each mole of Fe₂O₃. 1 mole of Fe₂O₃ will make 2 moles of Fe.

6 Na + 1 Fe₂O₃ → 3 Na₂O + 2 Fe

Method Two: Atoms conserve.

Fe₂O₃ has the largest number of atoms among one mole of all four species in this reaction. Assume <em>one</em> as its coefficient.

? Na + <em>1</em> Fe₂O₃ → ? Na₂O + ? Fe

There are two moles of Fe atoms and three moles of O atoms in each mol of Fe₂O₃. One mole of Fe₂O₃ contains two moles of Fe and three moles of O. There are one mole of O atom in every mole of Na₂O. Three moles of O will go to three moles of Na₂O.

? Na + <em>1</em> Fe₂O₃ → <em>3</em> Na₂O + <em>2</em> Fe

Each mole of Na₂O contains two moles of Na. Three moles of Na₂O will contain six moles of Na.

<em>6</em> Na + <em>1</em> Fe₂O₃ → <em>3</em> Na₂O + <em>2</em> Fe

Simplify the coefficients. All coefficients in this equation are now full number and relatively prime. Hence the equation is balanced.

6 Na + 1 Fe₂O₃ → 3 Na₂O + 2 Fe

A student estimated the volume of a liquid in a beaker as 200.0 mL. When she poured the liquid into a graduated cylinder she MEA
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.91 %</h3>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

P(\%) =  \frac{error}{actual \:  \: number}  \times 100\% \\

From the question

actual volume = 198.2 mL

error = 200 - 198.2 = 1.8

So we have

P(\%) =  \frac{1.8}{198.2}  \times 100 \\  = 0.90817356205...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.91 %</h3>

Hope this helps you

What would the rate law be for the following reaction:
lana [24]

Answer:

C. Rate = k[H2]^2[O2]

Explanation:

Rate law only cares about REACTANTS. Since, rate law can only be determined experimentally, I am assuming the given reaction mechanism is elementary reaction from which we can write the rate law.

Only H2 and O2 are part of rate law since they are reactants and also the coefficient in front of H2 goes as exponent on rate law to indicate the order of H2 in the reaction.

Rate= k [H2]^2 [O2]
