Answer:

c. 3

Explanation:

The unbalanced reaction expression is given as:

          Fe  +  O₂  →   Fe₂O₃  

To balance the expression gives the coefficient of oxygen.

Assign the coefficients a,b, c and use a mathematical approach to solve this problem:

             aFe  +  bO₂  →  cFe₂O₃

Conserving Fe: a  = 2c

                    O:  2b  = 3c

Now let c = 1, a  = 2, b  = \frac{3}{2}

  Multiply through by 2,

             a = 4, b = 3 and c  = 2

 

               4Fe  +  3O₂  →   2Fe₂O₃  

The coefficient of O₂ is 3

For each pair below, select the sample that contains the largest number of moles. Pair A 2.50 g O2 2.50 g N2
raketka [301]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pair  2.50g of O₂ and 2.50g of  N₂

The atoms sample with the largest number of moles since the masses are the same would be the one with lowest molar mass according the the equation below:

Number of moles = \frac{mass }{molarmass}

Atomic mass of O = 16g and N = 14g

Molar mass of O₂ = 16 x 2 = 32gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of N₂ = 14 x 2 = 28gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of O₂ = \frac{2.5}{32} = 0.078mole

Number of moles of N₂ = \frac{2.5}{28} =  0.089mole

We see that N₂ has the largest number of moles

Which statement best defines specific heat?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

D. The amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 °C.

Explanation:

Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat needed to raise a unit of mass of a compound by one degree on the temperature scale.

The gram is constituted as a unit of mass, and the degree Celsius as a unit of temperature, therefore, the specific heat can be defined as the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1 °C.

The mass of Jupiter is 300 times the mass of the earth. Jupiter orbits the sun with Jupiter = 11.9 yr in an orbit with Jupiter =
kondaur [170]

The orbital period is proportional to r^(3/2) and does not depend on the satellite's mass. Any object at Jupiter's position will have the same orbital period regardless of mass. The correct answer is 11.9 yr. <u>Option C.</u>

As the Earth rotates on its axis creating day and night, it travels around the Sun in an elliptical orbit taking about 365 1/4 days to complete. The Earth's rotation axis is tilted with respect to the orbital plane. This creates seasons. The elliptical nature of the Earth's orbit is due to the first forces pushing the Earth away from the Sun's disk.

The momentum of this throw being greater the Earth's orbit would have been more elliptical or it might have been completely ejected from the solar system forever. The Earth's orbit defines a two-dimensional plane called the Ecliptic. It takes about 365 days for the earth to revolve around the sun. After years of analysis, Kepler found that Mars' orbit was likely elliptical, with the Sun at one of his focal points of the ellipse. This led Kepler to discover that all planets orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits and that the Sun is at one of his two focal points.
