A sample of oxide iron weighing 2.40g was heated in a stream of hydrogen until it was completely converted to the metal. If the

metal weighed 1.68g. What is the formula of the iron oxide? (Fe=56, O=16)

Answer:

Fe₂O₃

Explanation:

To solve this question we must find the moles of Iron in 1.68g. With the difference of the masses we can find the moles of oxygen. The formula will be obtained with the ratio of both amount of moles:

<em>Moles Fe:</em>

1.68g * (1mol / 56g)  =0.03moles

<em>Moles O:</em>

2.40g-1.68g = 0.72g * (1mol/16g) = 0.045moles

The ratio O/Fe is:

0.045moles / 0.03moles = 1.5 moles. this ratio is obtained if the formula is:

<h3>Fe₂O₃</h3>

Below is an attachment of the Lewis structure with the lowest formal charges.

The formal charge is the fictitious charge that an atom in a molecule would have if the electrons in the bonds were evenly distributed among the atoms. The nonbonding electrons on a neutral atom are subtracted from its valence electron count, which is then followed by the number of bonds that bind it to other atoms in the Lewis structure, to get the formal charge. This is another way to put it. When hyponitrous acid is oxidized in the atmosphere, nitric and nitrous acids are produced. By reducing a nitrate or nitrite by sodium amalgam in the presence of water, hyponitrite salts have been created.

Which statement best explains the difference between polar and nonpolar covalent bonds?(1 point)
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Answer is 4

Explanation:

Polar covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond where a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms. ... If the electronegativity of two atoms is basically the same, a nonpolar covalent bond will form, and if the electronegativity is slightly different, a polar covalent bond will form.

Not sure what you are asking. I have two possible answers though...

It could either be more negatively charged, or valence electrons.

The more away from the nucleus a electron is, the more negatively charged it is.

The electrons on the outermost electron shell is valence electrons.

Again, I don't know what you were asking, but one of these answers may be correct.
