Concept tested: Balancing of chemical equations
- A chemical equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on the products and reactants of the equation.
- Balancing chemical equations ensures that chemical equations obey law of conservation of mass.
- In this case; to balance the above equation we put the coefficients, 1, 3, 2, and 3 on the reactants and products.
- Therefore; the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is;
Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)
Answer:
CaCO3 exoskeleton dissolves in acidic water
Explanation:
The increasing CO2 level makes the ocean water acidic and hence reduces the pH. In such acidic environment, marine organism that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively affected. Coral reefs and coralline algae abilities to produce skeleton also reduces.
Calcium carbonate dissolves in acid. Thus, the more acidic the ocean water is the faster and easier it is to dissolve the exoskeleton and shell of marine organisms made up of calcium carbonate
Answer: five carbon atoms forms a ring. In adjacent two carbon atoms
An hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached. Molecular formula is
C5H8(OH)2
Explanation:
Mass of iodine solid produced = 1.6 g
Iodine solid has a molecular formula : I2
Atomic mass of iodine = 126.904 g/mol
Therefore, molar mass of I2 solid = 2* 126.904 = 253.808 g/mol
Number of moles of a given substance is the ratio of its mass to the molar mass
# moles of I2 solid = mass of I2 solid/molar mass = 1.6 g/253.808 = 0.00630 moles
Hence, the # moles of iodine solid produced is 0.00630 moles
