The atomic number (Z) uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an uncharged atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.

The atomic number, Z, should not be confused with the mass number, A, which is the number of nucleons, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

In this video Kristine Born explains this two concepts in more detail.

Which of the following is a valid mole ratio from the balanced equation 2Fe2O3+3C yield 4Fe+3CO2
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer :

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Fe_2O_3+3C\rightarrow 4Fe+3CO_2

From this balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

2 moles of iron oxide react with the 3 moles of carbon to give 4 moles of iron and 3 moles of carbon dioxide.

Therefore, the valid mole ratio from the balanced chemical reaction is,

Fe_2O_3:C:Fe:CO_2=2:3:4:3
