Iron 3 oxide and carbon react to form iron and carbon dioxide. Balance the equation.

Chemistry

Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago

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.

The first most obvious thing to note is when naming transitional metals, you have to state its charge with roman numerals (except for 1 if I remember correctly). For example, Iron (lll), iron has a charge of 3.

The following do not represent valid ground-state electron configurations for an atom either because they violate the Pauli excl
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

<em>For both cases the answer is C</em>

Explanation:  

We can see that the orbitals are not filled in the order of increasing energy and the Pauli exclusion principle is violated because it does not follow the correct order of the electron configuration; In the first exercise after the 2s2 orbital, the 2p2 orbital follows.

For the second exercise, you must start in order with level 1 and correctly filling each of the sublevels corresponding to each level until reaching level 7 and thus completing the desired number of electrons.
