Answer:

Fe has been oxidized

O₂ has been reduced

Explanation:

Here we are going to determine the change in oxidation states and answer the question, remembering that oxidation is the loss of electrons and reduction is the gaining of electrons from the equation:

                                       4Fe     +         3O2→         2Fe2O3

oxidation states                 0                    0               3⁺     2⁻

so we see that oxygen goes from 0 to 2⁻ so it has been reduced, iron goes from 0 to 3⁺ so it has been oxidized.

We could also  answer this question  by noticing that iron has been combined with oxigen therefore it has been oxidized and oxigen has been reduced. I solved the question by determining the change in oxidation states because is more general and applie to any oxidation-reduction reaction

How many grams of oxygen gas (02) are needed to completely react with 9.30 moles
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

223 g O₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of oxygen gas needed, you need to (1) convert moles Al to moles O₂ (via the mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients) and then (2) convert moles O₂ to grams O₂ (via the molar mass). When writing your ratios/conversions, the desired unit should be in the numerator in order to allow for the cancellation of the previous unit. The final answer should have 3 sig figs because the given value (9.30 moles) has 3 sig figs.

4 Al + 3 O₂ ----> 2 Al₂O₃
^         ^

Molar Mass (O₂): 32.0 g/mol

9.3 moles Al          3 moles O₂              32.0 g
-------------------  x  ---------------------  x  --------------------  =  223 g O₂
                              4 moles Al               1 mole

ILL MARK BRAINLIEST :)
DanielleElmas [232]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed but it can simply be transformed from one form to another.

For example, Na^{+} + Cl^{-} \rightarrow NaCl

Mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Sum of mass of reactants = mass of Na + mass of Cl

= 23 + 35.5 g/mol

= 58.5 g/mol

Mass of product formed is as follows.

Mass of NaCl = mass of Na + mass of Cl

= (23 g/mol + 35.5) g/mol

= 58.5 g/mol

As mass reacted is equal to the amount of mass formed. This shows that mass is conserved.

As a result, law of conservation of mass is obeyed.

What is the most simplified meaning within a language?
AysviL [449]

The most simplified meaning within a language is MORPHEME.

In English language, a morpheme refers to a language unit, that is made up of a word or a word elements which can not be further broken down into meaningful smaller parts. Morphemes are the smallest, basic, grammatical unit of a language that have distinct meaning, just as atoms are the smallest unit of elements in chemistry. Examples of morphemes are: sad, joy, depress, excited, etc.

If 0.092J of heat causes a 0.267 degree C temperature change, what mass of water is present?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

0.082g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Heat (Q) = 0.092J

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 0.267°C

Specific heat capacity (C) of water = 4.184J/g°C

Mass (M) =..?

Thus, the mass of present can be obtained as follow:

Q = MCΔT

0.092 = M x 4.184 x 0.267

Divide both side by 4.184 x 0.267

M = 0.092 / (4.184 x 0.267)

M = 0.082g

Therefore, mass of water was present is 0.082.
