Neutrons keep the Protons "in check", meaning Protons hold a very strong repulsive positive charge. The Neutrons counteract the repulsive force within a small space to keep the Nucleus stable.
I hope this helps! :)
The conversion between mm mercury to pascals is (1 mmHg)/(133.32 pascals).
Therefore, we use the conversion:
4.579 mmHg * (133.32 pascals/1 mmHg) = 610.5 pascals
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.
