The charge of iron in the compound is 2+ and the compound is iron (II) chloride which can be represented using the chemical formula FeCl₂.

FURTHER EXPLANATION

To answer this problem, some key facts to recall are:

  1. In the chemical formula of ionic compounds, the charge of the metal becomes the subscript of the nonmetal and the charge of the nonmetal is used as the subscript of the metal.
  2. The molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance. This is equal to the combined masses of the elements that make up the chemical compound.

In this question, the metal is iron (Fe) with its charge unknown so it can be denoted as Feˣ⁺, and the nonmetal is chlorine (Cl) which is known to have a charge of 1-. By crisscross method, the chemical formula of the compound may be written as FeClₙ.

Since the molar mass of the compound is given, the subscript n, may be determined by getting the sum of the masses of the elements that make up the substance:

molar mass of FeClₙ.=  molar mass of Fe + n{molar mass of Cl}

126.8 g/mol = 55.845 g/mol + n(35.45 g/mol)

n = 2.00

The charge, therefore, of iron in the compound is 2+. The chemical formula of iron (II) chloride is written as FeCl₂.

Answer is: <span>the charge of the iron in this compound is +2.
Atomic mass of iron is 55,8 g/mol.
Atomic mass of chlorine is 35,5 g/mol.
If compound is FeCl, molar mass would be 55,8 </span>g/mol + 35,5 g/mol = 91,3 g/mo, that is not correct.
If compound is FeCl₂, malar mass of compound would be:
55,8 g/mol + 2·35,5 g/mol = 126,8 g/mol, that is correct.
Oxaidation number of chlorine is -1.

Which process is exothermic?
valkas [14]
The exothermic process is a process or reaction that involves a release of energy from the system to its surroundings in various forms usually through heat, light, electricity or sound. In the four given choices, when melting a copper, you try to immerse the metal in  heaping coals of fire. The metal will absorb the thermal energy coming from the coal, thus, once you retrieve the metal back, light will be emitted from it as well as heat.

Therefore, the answer is B. MELTING OF COPPER

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Positive

Explanation:

The antibody screen interpretation is positive. That's because of clump formation when antibody reacts with the antigen and agglutination occurs.

It means that the antibodies were present in the sample that react with the antigen present in the test tube.

lozanna [386]

The Nazca plate is converging with the South American plate.

Explanation:

The Andes Mountains are formed as a result of the convergent of the Nazca plate and the South American plate.

This mountain range typifies the geology and geography of the South American continent.

  • Along this convergent margin, one plate subducts beneath the other.
  • The oceanic plate due to its density goes into the mantle.
  • The causes the continent riding to obduct and be forced.
  • With rising magmatic bodies beneath, the continent further pushes up to form the Andes ranges.
