Chemistry

<h3><u>Answer and Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Rust is iron oxide, a molecule consisting of iron and oxygen. The mass of the iron in the rust molecules comes from the original nail, but the mass of the oxygen has come from the air.
  • When rust forms on iron, the mass of the iron object is increased by the mass of the oxygen that has combined with some of the iron.
  • Rusty iron weighs more because the iron reacts with oxygen in the air to form oxides which are solids which appear to grow on the iron as more oxygen comes along.

Rashid [163]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

 <span>3O2(g) <--> 2O3(g); 

Keq = 1 = [O3]^2/[O2]^3 

So [O2]^3 = [O3]^2 

Thus A) is correct</span>

The formula for rust can be represented by fe2o3 how many moles of fe are present in 25.7 g
leonid [27]
To calculate the number of moles, simply take the ratio of mass and molar mass. The molar mass of Iron (Fe) is equal to 55.85 g/mol.Therefore the total number of moles is:
moles Fe = 25.7 g / (55.85 g / mol)

moles Fe = 0.46 mole

Answer:

Is the source an authority on the subject?

Explanation:

To figure out which source is accurate, you want to find out the source's authority on the subject. For  example, if you wanted to learn how to play the piano, you wouldn't go to a dance teacher, you would go to someone who knows how to play the piano. The person who knows how to play the piano has more authority to teach the piano than a dance teacher.
