Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Iron exhibits two stable oxidation states, +2 and +3 states. The difference between FeO and Fe2O3 is that, in FeO, Fe is in the +2 oxidation state while in Fe2O3, Fe is in the +3 oxidation state

In FeO, iron looses two electrons which are gained by oxygen as follows;

Fe^2+ + O^2- -----> FeO

In Fe2O3, Fe looses six electrons while oxygen has gained six electrons as shown;

2Fe^3+ + 3O^2- ------>Fe2O3

Which best explains why water is able to “stick” to the side of glass?
AveGali [126]

Explanation:

Adhesion means the ability to stick on the surface of another substance.

Water exhibits adhesive forces due to which it is able to stick to the glass.  Due to adhesive forces water spreads over the surface of glass and sticks to it.

These adhesive forces between the glass and water enough that it deforms the spherical shape of water molecules and help them stick to the surface of glass. As a result, adhesive forces overcome the repulsion between like molecules.

Hence, water is able to “stick” to the side of glass due to strong adhesive forces.

3.2 moles of H3PO4 to grams
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

313, 6grams of H3PO4

Explanation:

We calculate the weight of 1 mol of H3PO4:

Weight 1 mol H3PO4= (Weight H)x3+ (Weight P)+(Weight 0)x4  =1gx3+31g+16gx4

Weight 1 mol H3PO4=98 g /mol

1 mol-----98 grams H3PO4

3,2mol----x= (3,2molx 98 grams H3PO4)/ 1mol=313,6 grams H3PO4

How does heat differ from temperature
Sholpan [36]
<span>Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object.</span>
