Equation is as follow,
Fe₂O₃ + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO₂
Oxidation:
3 CO → 3 CO₂
Oxidation state of C in CO is +2, and that in CO₂ is +4. So, carbon has lost 2 electrons per mole and 6 electrons per 3 moles hence,
3 CO → 3 CO₂ + 6 e⁻
Reduction:
Fe₂O₃ → 2 Fe
Oxidation state of Fe in Fe₂O₃ is +3 per atom, and that in Fe is 0. So, Iron has gained 3 electrons per atom and 6 electrons per 2 atoms hence,
Fe₂O₃ + 6e⁻ → 2 Fe
Result:
Iron in Fe₂O₃ has been reduced in this reaction and has played a role of oxidizing agent by oxidizing carbon from +2 state to +4 state.
I would definitely say that's false.
hope this helps you!:-)
to write 0,0045 in scientific notation, we will have to move the decimal point three point to right, which literally means multiplying by 1000=103 . Hence in scientific notation 0.0045=4.5×10−3 (note that as we have moved decimal three point to right we are multiplying by 10−3 this is an example
Answer:
C. Atoms of elements with five to seven valence electrons form anions in order to meet the octet rule.
Explanation:
- Atoms of elements gain or lose electron(s) to obey the octet rule by forming cations or anions.
- Atoms with 1 to 3 valence electrons lose electrons to form cations in order to attain a stable configuration.
- Atoms with 5 to 7 valence electrons gain electron(s) to form anions in order to attain stable configuration.
- However, atoms with 8 valence electrons do not require to gain or lose electrons since they an octet configuration.
- Atoms of metallic elements such as those in group 1 and 2 lose electron(s) to form cations while atoms of non-metallic elements such as halogens require to gain electron(s) to form anions so as to obey the octet rule.
The greater the electronegativity difference, the more ionic the bond is. Bonds that are partly ionic are called polar covalent bonds. Nonpolar covalent bonds, with equal sharing of the bond electrons, arise when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.
