Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: Moles of Iron nail can be calculated by using the formula:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}       ...(1)

Given mass of iron nail = 100 g

Molar mass of iron = 56 g/mol

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{100g}{56g/mol}

Number of moles of iron nail = 1.79 moles

The chemical equation for the formation of rust if given by:

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

By Stoichiometry of the reaction,

4 moles of iron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of rust.

So, 1.79 moles of iron will react with = \frac{3}{4}\times 1.79 = 1.3425 moles of oxygen gas.

For oxygen gas,

Molar mass = 32 g/mol

Mass of oxygen can be calculated by using equation 1, we get

1.3425mol=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{32g/mol}

Mass of oxygen gas = 43 grams

Hence, the correct option is a.

The population of the Earth at the end of 2018 was approximately 7.7 × 10 9 people. Which of the following is the correct way of
stepladder [879]

Answer:

7700000000

Explanation:

so 7.7 x 10 to the power of 9 is in standard form

to put it into a number you just need to times it by 1000000000

however your answer will only have 8 zeros because of the decimal point

Which equation represents a transuranium​
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1) Since you have not provided the equations to select the right one, I am going to explain you the relevant facts that are used to solve this question.

2) The transuranium elements are the chemiical elements with atomic number greater than that of the uranium.

The atomic number of uranium is 92. So, the transuranium elements are the elements with atomic number 93 or greater.

This are some of the transuranium elements:

Neptunio - 93

Plutonium - 94

Americium - 95

Curium - 96

Berkelium - 97

Californium - 98

Einstenium - 99

And so all the known elements (the last one is the 118).

3) In a nuclear reaction the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

4) Beta decay is the release of a beta particle, which is an electron (considered massles and with charge - 1). So, the beta decay is represented with the symbol:

0

 β, which means 0 mass and charge - 1.

-1

5) This is, then, an example of a β decay equation for one transuranium element:

239              239            0

     Np    →         Pu   +      β

 93                94            -1

As you see 239 = 239 + 0 and 93 = 94 - 1, showing that the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and the total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.
