Answer:
2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)
Explanation:
According to the question, a battery was used to light the steel wool by bringing the terminals very close together. When the battery came into contact with the steel wool, current was sent out through the thin wire. This caused the iron to heat up quite well.
Iron reacts with oxygen under these conditions as follows;
2Fe(s) + 3O2(g) --------> 2FeO3(s)
This is the chemical reaction that occurs when the steel wool is set on fire.
Answer:
The concentration of KOH is 0.186 M
Explanation:
First things first, we need too write out the balanced equation between HBr and KOH.
This is given as;
KOH (aq) + HBr (aq) → KBr (aq) + H2O (l)
From the reaction above, we can tell that it takes 1 mole of KOH to react with 1 mole of HBr.
We use the acid base formular in calculating unknown concentrations. This is given as;
where;
Ca = Concentration of acid
Va = Volume of acid
Cb = Concentration of base
Vb = Volume of base
na = Number of moles of acid
nb = Number of moles of base
KOH is the base and HBr is acid.
Hence;
Ca = 0.225
Va = 35
Cb = ?
Vb = 42.3
na = 1
nb = 1
Making Cb subject of formular we have;
Cb = (0.225 * 35 * 1) / (42.3 * 1)
Cb = 0.186 M
Not strong base and acid, not dissolved or not aqueous.
In an ionic compound the atoms are linked via ionic bonds. These are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons gains a positive charge whereas the atom that accepts electrons gains a negative. This happens in accordance with the octet rule wherein each atom is surrounded by 8 electrons
In the given example:
The valence electron configuration of Iodine (I) = 5s²5p⁵
It needs only one electron to complete its octet.
In the given options:
K = 4s¹
C = 2s²2p²
Cl = 3s²3p⁵
P = 3s²3p³
Thus K can donate its valence electron to Iodine. As a result K, will gain a stable noble gas configuration of argon while iodine would gain an octet. This would also balance the charges as K⁺I⁻ creating a neutral molecule.
Ans: Potassium (K)
Answer:
Group 8 or Group 0
Explanation:
Group 8 or Group 0 are generally inert gases with Helium as the first member in that group. Their complete duplet (in the case of Helium) and Octet (in the case of Neon) configuration makes them very stable and chemically un-reactive.
