Answer: the second option: <span>Iron is being oxidized
</span>

Explanation:

1) Oxidation is the increase of the oxidation state (number) due to the loss of electrons.

2) In the given reaction, you can see that in the left side the atom is Fe. 

When an element (atom) is not combined (or combined with it self) its oxidation state is 0. 

3) In the right side of the given equation you that iron is now in form of cation with charge 2+: Fe²⁺.

That means that the new oxidation state of the element is 2+.

4) This change in the oxidation state, of course, is accompanied by the loss of the two electrons: 2e⁻.

5) Conclusion: the iron has oxidized by losing two electrons and increasing its oxidation state from 0 to 2+.

The equation for the combustion of CH4 (the main component of natural gas) is
Lera25 [3.4K]

Heat produced =  -13588.956 kJ

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The reaction of combustion of Methane

CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g) ΔH∘rxn=−802.3kJ

271 g of CH4

Required

Heat produced

Solution

mol of 271 g CH₄ (MW=16 g/mol0

mol = mass : MW

mol = 271 : 16

mol = 16.9375

So Heat produced :

= mol x ΔH°rxn

= 16.9375 mol x −802.3kJ/mol = -13588.956 kJ

saul85 [17]

Answer:

D: Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon is the sixth element with a total of 6 electrons in the periodic table. Hence the atomic number Z = 6. The ground state electron configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s2 2p2. An excited state electron configuration of carbon is 1s2 2s1 2p3.

Calculate the hydroxide ion concentration [OH-] for a solution with a pH of 6.10
nalin [4]

There are different formula you need to keep in mind when solving for [OH-]

Given that pH = 6.10

pH + pOH = 14

6.10 + pOH = 14

pOH = 7.9

[OH-] = 10^(-pOH)

[OH-] = 10^(-7.9)

[OH-] = 0.000000013

[OH-] = 1.3 x 10^-8


<h2><u>Answer: [OH-] = 1.3 x 10^-8</u></h2>
