4Fe (s) + 3 O2 (g) → 2 Fe2O3 (s)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Novay_Z [31]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

The number acquired by an element after the lose or gain of an electron is called oxidation number.

For example, 4Fe(s) + 3O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2Fe_{2}O_{3}(s)

Here, oxidation number of Fe(s) is 0 and Fe in Fe_{2}O_{3} is +3.

Oxidation number of O in O_{2}(g) is 0 as it is present in its elemental state.

The oxidation number of O in Fe_{2}O_{3} is calculated as follows.

2(3) + 3x = 0\\6 + 3x = 0\\x = \frac{-6}{3}\\= -2

Hence,  oxidation number of O in Fe_{2}O_{3} is -2.

  • The loss of electrons by an element or substance is called oxidation. Here, electrons are being lost by Fe(s) as an increase in oxidation state is occurring. So, Fe(s) is oxidized.
  • The gain of electrons by an element or substance is called reduction. Here, electrons are being added to O_{2} as a decrease in its oxidation state is occurring. So, O_{2}  is reduced.
  • An element or compound which is being reduced is called oxidizing agent. Here, O_{2}  is the oxidizing agent.
  • An element or compound which is being oxidized is called reducing agent. Here, Fe(s) is the reducing agent.

Delta S reaction= Delta S products- Delta S reactants

don't forget to mulitiply by coefficients

also

here is a really slow way to do it

you know the moles of gas increased

so Delta S is positive

so its B or D

then just do the units digit to see which one match up

The pressure that is the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure is called
mina [271]

The pressure calculated as the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure is known as: filtration pressure.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

Pressure can be defined as a measure of the force exerted per unit area of an object or body. Thus, it is usually measured in Newton per meter square.

<h3>The types of pressure.</h3>

In Science, there are different types of pressure and these include the following:

  • Hydrostatic pressure
  • Atmospheric pressure
  • Osmotic pressure
  • Filtration pressure

Filtration pressure is a pressure that is typically calculated as the difference between the net hydrostatic pressure and the net colloid osmotic pressure. Also, it promotes the filtration of fluid through a membrane.
