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.

For the reaction: N2O5(g) \longrightarrow⟶ 2NO2(g) + 1/2O2(g)
ivanzaharov [21]
The given equation from the problem above is already balance,
                                 N2O5 ---> 2NO2 + 0.5O2
Since, in every mole of N2O5 consumed, 2 moles of NO2 are formed, we can answer the problem by multiplying the given rate, 7.81 mol/L.s with the ratio.
                    (7.81 mol/L.s) x (2 moles NO2 formed/ 1 mole of N2O5 consumed)
                       = 15.62 mol/L.s
The answer is the rate of formation of NO2 is approximately 15.62 mol/L.s.

Answer:

FeCl_{2} +H_{2} S->FeS + 2HCl

Explanation:

I am assuming that we have to balance this equation. On the left side, we have one Fe, 2 H, 2 Cl, and 1 S. On the right side, we have 1 Fe, 1 H, 1 Cl, and 1 S. Adding a 2 as a coefficient in front of the HCl on the right side will make 2 H and 2 Cl instead, balancing the overall equation.
