I believe it’s because they are trying to find other things that won’t pollute the environment as much, and they are also doing this because we are trying to reduce green house gas. Sorry if i’m wrong :(

A 10 gram sample of iron reacts with oxygen to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide. How many grams of oxygen reacted?

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.2 \ grams}}$

Explanation:

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants.

mass products = mass reactants

In this problem, the reaction is:

$iron + oxygen = ferric \ oxygen$

The reactants are iron and oxygen. We know the mass of the iron sample is 10 grams.

The product is ferric oxide. The mass of the ferric oxide sample is 18.2 grams.

$10 \ g + oxygen=18.2 \ g$

We want to find how many grams of oxygen reacted. We have to get the oxygen by itself. 10 is being added to oxygen. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

$10 \ g - 10 \ g+ oxygen = 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g$

$oxygen= 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g$

$oxygen= 8.2 \ g \\$

<u>8.2 grams of oxygen </u>reacted with 10 grams of iron to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide.

How does the state of matter affect the behavior of molecules?

motikmotik

Answer:

The behavior of molecules in different phases of matter represents a balance between the kinetic energies of the molecules and the attractive forces between them. All molecules are attracted to each other. The molecules are in the solid-state. At higher temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher.
