Answer: 4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as Fe^{3+} cation and oxide O^{2-} is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral Fe_2O_3.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

There is a mixture of three gases. We know the total pressure is 2.50 atmosphere and the pressure of the oxygen and the nitrogen
Viktor [21]

Answer:

1.14 atm and 1.139 mol

Explanation:

The <em>total pressure</em> of the container is equal to the <u>sum of the partial pressure of the three gasses</u>:

  • P = Poxygen + Pnitrogen + Pcarbon dioxide
  • 2.50 atm = 0.52 + 0.84 + Pcarbon dioxide

Now we <u>solve for the pressure of carbon dioxide</u>:

  • Pcarbon dioxide = 1.14 atm

To c<u>alculate the number of CO₂ moles </u>we use <em>PV=nRT</em>:

  • P = 1.14 atm
  • V = 25.0 L
  • n = ?
  • R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
  • T = 32 °C ⇒ 32 + 273.16 = 305.16 K

1.14 atm * 25.0 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 305.16 K

  • n = 1.139 mol

Marshall determines that a gas has a gage pressure of 276 kPa what's the absolute pressure of this gas
Wittaler [7]
To determine the absolute pressure of this gas, all you need to do is to add the value of atmospheric pressure and the value of gage pressure.

Atmospheric pressure is equivalent to 100 kPa. 
Gage pressure is 276 kPa.

Then, we add both values. 

N = 100 kPa + 276 kPa
N =  376 kPa

The absolute pressure of this gas is 376 kPa.

Hope this helps :)
