A 10 gram sample of iron reacts with oxygen to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide. How many grams of oxygen reacted?
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants.
- mass products = mass reactants
In this problem, the reaction is:
- The reactants are iron and oxygen. We know the mass of the iron sample is 10 grams.
- The product is ferric oxide. The mass of the ferric oxide sample is 18.2 grams.
We want to find how many grams of oxygen reacted. We have to get the oxygen by itself. 10 is being added to oxygen. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.
<u>8.2 grams of oxygen </u>reacted with 10 grams of iron to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide.

Boiling point of a compound is determined by the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules present in it. Stronger the intermolecular forces of attraction, higher will be the boiling point.
Ionic compounds show ion-ion interactions which are the strongest among all. Ion-dipole interactions are shown when ionic solutes are dissolved in polar solvents. Hydrogen bonding is also a relatively stronger force that is present between H atom and an electronegative atom like F, O and N() . All polar molecules show dipole-dipole interaction (
and
). Dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces due to momentary dipoles between electron clouds and nucleus.
Among the given compounds, has dispersion forces as the major intermolecular forces of attraction. So they they exhibit the weakest IMF, hence have the lowest boiling point.
