Answer:

CO2

Explanation:

CO2 or carbon dioxide is produced when iron is extracted from its ore. Carbon monoxide Co is used as reducing agent in iron extraction. In this reaction iron ore is reduced to iron and CO is oxidized to CO2 or carbon dioxide which is released in the process. There extraction of iron is redox reaction.

How many moles are equal to 83.4 L of O2?

ladessa [460]

Answer:

$3.72mol$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we consider that at STP conditions (273 K and 1 atm) we know that the volume of 1 mole of a gas is 22.4 L, thereby, for 83.4 L, the resulting moles are:

$22.4L\rightarrow 1mol\\83.4L\rightarrow X\\X=\frac{83.4L*1mol}{22.4L}=3.72mol$

This is a case in which we apply the Avogadro's law which relates the volume and the moles as a directly proportional relationship.

Best regards.

Describe the process of inhalation and exhalation with regard to the contraction of the diaphragm – which is an active process a

Lerok [7]

Inhalation is the process of taking air into the lungs. For this to occur, the air pressure inside the lungs must be lower than that of the external atmosphere as air flows from areas of higher pressure to lower pressure. <span>Exhalation is the process of expelling air out of the lungs. For this to occur, the air pressure inside the lungs must be higher than that of the external atmosphere as air flows from areas of higher pressure to ones of lower pressure.</span>
