Answer: The coefficient for the diatomic oxygen (O2) is 3.

Explanation:

To know the coefficient for the diatomic Oxygen, we need to balance the equation.

Fe + O2 -------> Fe2O3

LHS of the equation; Fe = 1 , O2 = 1

RHS of the equation; Fe = 2 , O = 3

∴ Multiply 'Fe' on the LHS of the equation by 4 and O2 by 3

Doing that will give the balance equation which is;

4 Fe + 3 O2 --------> 2 Fe2O3

The coefficient for the diatomic oxygen (O2) as seen from the equation is 3.

19. Which of the following best describes the role of the spark from the spark plug in an automobile engine?

sergey [27]

The role of a spark plug is to supply some of the energy of activation for the combustion reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A Spark plug is a tiny bolt of lightning in which a spark of electricity is emitted across a gap creating the ignition of the combustion chamber thereby starting the engine. By putting an engine piston in motion we can power up which produces a smooth burn of the compressed air-fuel mixture.

An electrical device that fits into the cylinder head and ignites compressed aerosol gasoline by an electric spark. They have an insulated electrode connected to a coil that ignites thereby producing sparks.
The spark plug works as a heat exchanger. They tend to pull unwanted thermal energy from the combustion chamber and heat is transferred to the engine's cooling system. Thus they supply some of the energy for the activation of engines.

Hello, what’s the difference between oxidation and oxidising agents?

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

An oxidising agent oxidises something else. Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). That means that an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance.

How does the muscular system work with the respiratory system?

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The muscular and nervous systems enable the involuntary breathing mechanism. The main muscles in inhalation and exhalation are the diaphragm and the intercostals (shown in blue), as well as other muscles. Exhalation is a passive action, as the lungs recoil and shrink when the muscles relax.

Balance the following equation. Then, given the moles of reactant or product below, determine the corresponding amount in moles

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Option a → 4 mol NH₃

Explanation:

This the unbalanced reaction

NH₃ + O₂ ⟶ N₂ + H₂O

The balanced reaction:

4NH₃ + 3O₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O

4 mol of ammonia

3 mol of oxygen

2 mol of nitrogen

6 mol of water
