6 0

Answer:

a = 4

b = 3

Explanation:

<u>SOLUTION :-</u>

Balance it by using 'hit & trial' method , and you'll get the answer :-

2Fe₂O + 3C → <u>4</u>Fe + <u>3</u>CO₂

⇒ a = 4 ; b = 3

<u></u>

<u>VERIFICATION :-</u>

<em>In reactant side of equation :-</em>

  • Number of atoms in Fe = 2×2 = 4
  • Number of atoms in O = 2×3 = 6
  • Number of atoms in C = 3×1 = 3

<em>In product side of equation :-</em>

  • Number of atoms in Fe = 4×1 = 4
  • Number of atoms in C = 3×1 = 3
  • Number of atoms in O = 3×2 = 6

Number of atoms of each element is equal in both reactant & product side of equation. Hence , the equation is balanced.

What is a way in which nuclear fusion is used?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:It is a nuclear process, where energy is produced by smashing together light atoms. It is the opposite reaction of fission, where heavy isotopes are split apart.

Explanation Fusion is the process by which the sun and other stars generate light and heat.

It’s most easily achieved on Earth by combining two isotopes of hydrogen: deuterium and tritium. Hydrogen is the lightest of all the elements, being made up of a single proton and a electron. Deuterium has an extra neutron in its nucleus; it can replace one of the hydrogen atoms in H20 to make what is called “heavy water.”

1. What is the wave speed of a wave that has a frequency of 100 Hz and a wavelength of 0.30 m?
Sav [38]
Wave speed = frequency x wavelength 
                     =   100 x 0.3
                     =       30 m/s.

Hope this helps!
