Answer:

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2

Explanation:

First of all, you have to translate the words into an equation.

Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> Fe + CO2

The easiest way to tackle this is to start with the Oxygens and balance them. They must balance by going to the greatest common factor which is 6. So you multiply the molecule by whatever it takes to get the Oxygens to 6

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> Fe + 3 CO2

Now work on the irons. There 2 on the left and just 1 on the right. So you need to multiply the iron by 2.

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2

Finally it is the turn of the carbons. There are 3 on the right, so you must make the carbon on the left = 3

2 Fe(iii)2O3 + 3 C ==> 2 Fe + 3 CO2

And you are done.

Answer:

This question is incomplete; the complete part is:

A) All cell have a cell wall.

B) All cell arise from pre-existing cells.

C) All cell are capable of photosynthesis.

D) All cell can develop into any other type of cell.

The answer is B

Explanation:

The commonly known universal theory proposed in 1838 took the contribution from three remarkable scientists namely: botanist Matthias Schleiden, anatomist Theodor Schwann and biologist Rudolph Virchow. According to the question, Mathias discovered that all plants are made of cells, Schwann determined that all animals are made of cells while Virchow determined that all living things are composed of cells.

However, in addition to Virchow's discovery, he also discovered and proposed that "All cell arise from pre-existing cells", which till date forms part of the three components of the cell theory. The three parts are:

- Cell is the fundamental and basic unit of all living things.

- All living things are made up of one or more cells

- All cells arise from pre-existing cells

masha68 [24]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A chemist measures the amount of bromine liquid produced during an experiment. She finds that 766.g of bromine liquid is produced. Calculate the number of moles of bromine liquid produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

Answer: The amount of liquid bromine produced is 4.79 moles.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

We are given:

Given mass of liquid bromine = 766. g

Molar mass of liquid bromine, $(Br_2)$ = 159.8 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of liquid bromine}=\frac{766.g}{159.8g/mol}=4.79mol$

Hence, the amount of liquid bromine produced is 4.79 moles.

If element x forms the oxides xo and x2o3 the oxidation numbers of element x are

Deffense [45]

Answer:

b) +2 and +3.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the molecular formulas:

$XO$

And:

$X_2O_3$

We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:

$X^{+2}O^{-2}$

Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:

$X_2^{+3}O_3^{-2}$

Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3

Best regards.
