Answer: energy needed to remove an electron from an atom or ion in the gas phase. Explanation: That is the very definition of ionization energy: ionization energy is the energy needed to remove (get appart) an electron from a neutral atom or ion in gas phase.Jun 19, 2016
First, lets balance the reaction equation:
4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
It is visible form the equation that 4 moles of Fe require 3 moles of O₂
Molar ratio Fe/O₂ = 4/3 = 1.33
Molar ratio O₂/Fe = 3/4 = 0.75
Now, we check the molar ratios present:
Fe/O₂ = 6.8/8.9 = 0.76
O₂/Fe = 1.31
Thus, Iron is the limiting reactant because its ratio is not being fulfilled while the ratio of O₂ is surpassed.
A is the answer because the trees turned blackish from the coal so moths that were black could camouflage on those trees easier.
