Answer:-
Oxygen gains electrons and is reduced.
Explanation:-
For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is
4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
When Oxygen is present as oxygen gas, the oxidation number of O is Zero since it is the only element present in Oxygen gas.
Similarly Iron is present in Fe with oxidation number Zero.
In the case of Fe2O3, Oxygen has the oxidation number -2 while Iron has +3.
So the oxidation number of Oxygen goes from Zero to -2.
Since the oxidation number decreases Oxygen is reduced.
Since reduction involves gain of electrons, Oxygen gains electrons.
Answer:
5.66
Explanation:
sin = opposite/hypotenuse
8 sin = opposite
8 sin 45 = 5.66
Answer:
2. Na2O
Reasoning:
Na (soduim) is the only metal out of all the elements in the answer choices, and is bonded with oxygen, a nonmetal, therefore creating an ionic bond.
Answer:
D. All of them would have the same kinetic energy
Explanation:
The expression for the kinetic energy of the gas is:-
k is Boltzmann's constant =
T is the temperature
<u>Since, kinetic energy depends only on the temperature. Thus, at same temperature, at 300 K, all the gases which are
will posses same value of kinetic energy.</u>
If the ion is negatively charged, anion, it means that it gains two
electrons from its surroundings. The number of electrons of an argon (neutral
atom) is 18. Two of the electrons in our anion is from the surrounding, so
originally it only has 16 electrons.
In the periodic table, the 16th element is sulphur. The
chemical symbol of sulphur is S. Thus, the anion is the negatively charged
sulphur with chemical symbol of S2-.
