Balance the equ. representing the reaction between iron

Chemistry
1 answer:
denis-greek [22]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO₂

Explanation:

There are many ways to balance a chemical equation. In this case, I will show you the algebraic method:

The first step is assign a letter to each compound:

a Fe₂O₃ + b CO → c Fe + d CO₂

Then, you must write the balance equations for each atom, thus:

<em>Fe: 2a = c</em>

<em>C: b = d</em>

<em>O: 3a + b = 2d</em>

The last step is assign a value to a letter. I, for example, will say that <em>a is 1, </em>and then find the values for the others letters, thus:

<em>Fe: 2a = c </em>if <em>a=1; c=2</em>

<em>O: 3a + b = 2d </em>if <em>a=1 → 3+b = 2d</em>

As b = d → <em>3+d = 2d; 3 = 2d - d; </em>3=d and 3=b

Thus, the balanced equation is:

Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO₂

I hope it helps!

Question 6
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Acid/String Electrolyte

Explanation:

Litmus paper turning red means it is an acidic solution. A pH of more than 7 is Base while pH of less than 7 is an acid. Since the pH is 2, less than 7, it s is an acid. Since it has a high electrical conductivity, it must be a strong Electrolyte.

An aluminum cation is smaller than the aluminum atom because it has fewer occupied energy levels. True false
butalik [34]

The molecules or atoms that are formed by gain or loss of one or more valence electrons are said to be ions.

When atom loss one or more valence electrons, results in formation of cation whereas when atom gain one or more valence electrons, then formation of anion occurs. Cations carry positive charge and anions carry negative charge.

In general, cations are smaller than the neutral atoms from which they are formed and anions are larger than the neutral atoms.

As cations are smaller than the related neutral atoms because the valence electrons are lost which are farthest away from the nucleus. After that, taking more electrons distant from the cation results in reduction of radius of the ion.

Thus, aluminium cation consist of few electrons which results in fewer occupied energy levels by the electrons further results in reduction of radius i.e. smaller size.

Hence, given statement is true i.e. aluminium atom is larger than the aluminium cation as cation has fewer occupied energy levels.

What might law enforcement do to reduce attempts at deception when gaining a handwriting sample?
Anarel [89]
In order to decrease the chances of deception in acquiring a handwriting sample, what the law enforcement do is that, they ask they person to write as little as possible, write the passage only once and also gather the material that consist some of the similar words and phrases as the suspected document.
