<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is 4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rust is reddish-brown coating on iron metal which is formed when iron comes in contact with air and moisture to form ferric oxide. The chemical formula for trust is Fe_2O_3 and chemical name is ferric oxide.

The balanced chemical equation for the formation of rust follows:

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of iron metal reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of ferric oxide.

Hence, the coefficients are 4, 3 and 2.

4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3 <or> The chemical formula for rust is Fe2O3. Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in moist air. The following chemical equation represents the reaction: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3. Water is necessary for the oxidation reaction to occur and to facilitate transport of the electrons.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Black holes are astronomical objects that have such strong gravity, not even light can escape. Neutron stars are dead stars that are incredibly dense. ... Both objects are cosmological monsters, but black holes are considerably more massive than neutron stars.

The shielding of electrons gives rise to an effective nuclear charge, Zeff, which explains why boron is larger than oxygen. Esti
Paul [167]

Answer:

Option B. +3 and +6

Explanation:

<em>Zeff</em> = <em>z - s</em>

where <em>z</em> is the atomic number, <em>s</em> is the number of shielding(non-valence) electrons

For Boron, electronic configuration is 1s²2s³.

z = 5, s = 2

Zeff = 5 - 2 = +3

For Oxygen, electronic configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁴

z = 8, s = 2

Zeff = 8 - 2 = +6

1) When 2.38g of magnesium is added to 25.0cm of 2.27 M hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is released.
Andrej [43]

Answer:

a. HCl.

b. 0.057 g.

c. 1.69 g.

d. 77 %.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid is:

Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2

Whereas there is 1:2 mole ratio between them.

a) Here, we can identify the limiting reactant as that yielded the fewest moles of hydrogen gas product via the 1:1 and 2:1 mole ratios:

n_{H_2}^{by\  HCl}=0.025L*2.27\frac{molHCl}{1L}*\frac{1molH_2}{2molHCl}  =0.0284molH_2\\\\n_{H_2}^{by\  Mg}=2.38gMg*\frac{1molMg}{24.3gMg}*\frac{1molH_2}{1molMg}=0.0979molH_2

Thus, since hydrochloric yields fewer moles of hydrogen than magnesium, we realize it is the limiting reactant.

b) Here, we use the molar mass of gaseous hydrogen (2.02 g/mol) to compute the mass:

m_{H_2}=0.0284molH_2*\frac{2.02gH_2}{1molH_2}=0.057gH_2

c) Here, we compute the mass of magnesium associated with the yielded 0.0248 moles of hydrogen:

m_{Mg}^{reacted}=0.0284molH_2*\frac{1molMg}{1molH_2}*\frac{24.3gMg}{1molMg}  =0.690gMg

Thus, the mass of excess magnesium turns out:

m_{Mg}^{excess}=2.38g-0.690g=1.69gMg

d) Finally, we compute the percent yield, considering 0.044 g is the actual yield and 0.057 g the theoretical yield:

Y=\frac{0.044g}{0.057g} *100\%\\\\Y=77\%

Best regards!
