The balanced chemical equation representing the reaction of iron and oxygen is,

4 Fe (s)+ 3O_{2}(g) --> 2 Fe_{2}O_{3} (s)

The coefficients of each reactant and product represents the number of moles of each reactant or product that is required for the complete reaction to take place.

The mole ratio of iron and iron (III) oxide: \frac{4 mol Fe}{2 mol Fe_{2}O_{3}} or \frac{2 mol Fe_{2}O_{3}}{4 mol Fe}

Mole ratio of oxygen to iron (III) oxide: \frac{3 mol O_{2}}{2 mol Fe_{2}O_{3}} or \frac{2 mol Fe_{2}O_{3}}{3 mol O_{2}}

So, the mole ratio of iron (Fe) to oxygen gas is: 4 : 3

Therefore, the correct answer is d) 4:3

How can we separate the components of a compound?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

A mixture is a physical combination of substances thus it only requires physical processes to separate. However, a compound is chemically combined and can only be separated by chemical processes. Therefore, it is much harder to separate a compound than a mixture.

What’s the fastest way to balance chemical equations
Anon25 [30]

Hey there!

The best way to balance chemical equations is to first start by balancing polyatomic ions such as OH and SO₄.

Next, balance other elements, but save elements that are by themselves for last, such as H₂ or Fe. Once you balance everything else you can do the ones by themselves, it's much easier.

Hope this helps!

What happens when nitrogen fills its valence shell?
Sauron [17]
The right answer is D. three electrons are gained, creating N-3

Nitrogen has 5 electrons in it's valence shell and octet rule states that the valence shell must have 8 electrons. To satisfy that, Nitrogen gains 3 electrons that are negatively charged.Therefore, it gets a negative charge.
