Balanced equation for Fe+O2 ->Fe2O3

Biology
1 answer:
NeX [460]2 years ago
5 0
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The balanced equation is:

4Fe+3O_2=2Fe_{2}O_{3}

<h2>Why?</h2>

Finding a balanced equation of a reaction means making equal the number of atoms for both reactants and products sides, according to the conservation mass law, the mass is always conserved, so, we need to make both quantities of atoms/molecules match.

So, we are given the following reaction:

Fe+O_2=Fe_{2}O_{3}

For the reactants, we have 1 molecule of Fe and 2 of O

For the  products, we have 2 molecules of Fe and 3 of O

So, balancing the Oxygen, we have:

Fe+3*O_2=Fe_{2}O_{3}

Fe+3O_2=Fe_{2}O_{3}

Now, there are 6 atoms of oxygen in the reactant, let's multiply the product by 2 in order to make both sides match, so:

Fe+3O_2=2*(Fe_{2}O_{3})

Fe+3O_2=2(Fe_{2}O_{3})

Now, we can see that there are 6 atoms of Oxygen in both sides, but there are 4  atoms of Fe in the products and just 1 atom in the reactants, so, we need to multiply the Fe by 4.

So, balancing the Iron (Fe) we have:

4*Fe+3O_2=2(Fe_{2}O_{3})

4Fe+3O_2=2Fe_{2}O_{3}

Hence, we can see that we now have the same number of atoms on both sides, we have:

Fe_{reactants}=4\\O_{reactants}=6\\Fe_{products}=4\\O_{products}=6

Therefore, the equation is balanced.

4Fe+3O_2=2Fe_{2}O_{3}

Have a nice day!

Difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The main difference is the presence of a nucleus.

Explanation:

One of the biggest differences is the presence of a nucleus with an envelope. This is very important because in eukaryotes it is present, but in prokaryotes, the genetic material is in the cytosol, although it's not exactly dispersed, it's slightly grouped. Also, the DNA in prokaryotes is organized in circular chromosomes while in eukaryotes it's organized in linear chromosomes arranged in an X shape. There are many more differences, but these two are the more important ones.

Garden plants are eaten by snails, which are eaten by birds, which are eaten by the household cat. What happens to the other mem
Alex17521 [72]

The correct answer is (d) The number of plants and birds increases and the number of snail decreases.

Green plants are eaten by snails, snails by birds, and birds by household cat. If cat is removed from the cycle then the number of birds will increase which will decrease the number of snail in the environment.  As there are large number of birds there will be a great demand of snails as a food for birds. Then there will be a decrease in the number of snails because of over eating of snails. There will be an increase in the number of garden plants because very less number of snails are left that will eat garden plants.
