Answer:

Mass of iron oxide: 79.85 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of iron = 112 g

Mass of O₂ = 24 g

Mass of iron oxide formed = ?

Solution:

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

Number of moles of Fe:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 112 g/ 55.85 g/mol

Number of moles = 2 mol

Number of moles of O₂:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 24 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.75 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen and iron with iron oxide.

Fe : Fe₂O₃

4 : 2

2 : 2/4×2 = 1

O₂ : Fe₂O₃

3 : 2

0.75 : 2/3×0.75 = 0.5

The number of moles of iron oxide formed by oxygen are less thus it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of iron oxide:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.5 mol × 159.69 g/mol

Mass = 79.85 g

I believe D. because all the organisms that live in a lake can be a bunch of living things that would be considered a population and not a species. I canceled out B. from the get go because, I don’t believe non living organisms can be in a population ?

Please get back to me if I’m right or wrong :)

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Manganese commonly occurs in nature as a mineral. The extraction of manganese from the carbonite mineral rhodochrosite, involves a two-step process. In the first step, manganese (II) carbonate and oxygen react to form manganese (IV) oxide and carbon dioxide:

$2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)$

In the second step, manganese (IV) oxide and aluminum react to form manganese and aluminum oxide:

$3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)$

Write the net chemical equation for the production of manganese from manganese (II) carbonate, oxygen and aluminum. Be sure your equation is balanced.

Answer : The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

$6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)$
