Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
In this case, let's see both molecules per separate:
In the case of SeO₂ the central atom would be the Se. The Se has oxidation states of 2+, and 4+. In this molecule it's working with the 4+, while oxygen is working with the 2- state. Now, how do we know that Se is working with that state?, simply, let's do an equation for it. We know that this molecule has a formal charge of 0, so:
Se = x
O = -2
x + (-2)*2 = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = +4.
Therefore, Selenium is working with +4 state, the only way to bond this molecule is with a covalent bond, and in the case of the oxygen will be with double bond. See picture below.
In the case of CO₂ happens something similar. Carbon is working with +4 state, so in order to stabilize the charges, it has to be bonded with double bonds with both oxygens. The picture below shows.
Cellular respiration
is the process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
Balanced equation: 2Fe + 3H2O → Fe2O3 +3H2
Convert g to mols:
285/55.845 = 5.1034 mols
Mole ratio of Iron and Iron (III) Oxide: 2:1
5.1034/2 = 2.5517 mols
Nitrogen and oxygen are in unpolluted air
