To test if the hypothesis is correct, a good way is to think of it this way:
Density = mass/volume, right?
Calculate the mass and volume of each and do the equation; this will test your hypothesis.
You will be left with the density of each. But, make sure that the sample sizes are the same (controlled variable) otherwise it will be an unfair test.
Answer: What type of chemical reaction is rusting of iron?
Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in moist air. The following chemical equation represents the reaction: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3. Water is necessary for the oxidation reaction to occur and to facilitate transport of the electrons.
Answer:
Element in the same group have similar chemical properties.
Answer:
The answer is: <u>Al2O3</u>
Explanation:
The data they give us is:
To find the empirical formula without knowing the grams of the compound, we find it per mole:
- 0.545 g Al * 1 mol Al / 27 g Al = 0.02 mol Al
- 0.485 g O * 1 mol O / 16 g O = 0.03 mol O
Then we must divide the results obtained by the lowest result, which in this case is 0.02:
- 0.02 mol Al / 0.02 = 1 Al
- 0.03 mol O / 0.02 = 1.5 O
Since both numbers have to give an integer, multiply by 2 until both remain integers:
Now the answer is given correctly:
