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

We have a sample of water vapor which cools from 150 °C to 125 °C. What happens to the motion of the molecules during this time
pentagon [3]

The motion of the molecules decreases.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Gases are formed when the energy in a system overcomes the attractive forces between the molecules. The gases expand to fill the space they occupy. In this way, the gas molecules interact little. In the gaseous state, the molecules move very quickly. As the temperature decreases, the amount of movement of the individual molecules also decreases.
  • The fast-moving particle slows down. When a particle speeds up, it has more kinetic energy. When a particle slows down, it has less kinetic energy. The particles in solid form are commonly connected through electrostatic powers. They don't get enough space to move around, therefore, their speed diminishes, they can't keep their standard speed like in the vaporous or fluid state.
