Iron metal reacts with elemental oxygen to form rust according to the unbalanced reaction, Fe(s) + O2(g) → Fe2O3(s),. What is th
1 answer:
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 =
Multiply through by 2,
a = 4, b = 3 and c = 2
4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
The coefficient of O₂ is 3

First of all, as you seen the gases are noble which means that will not react with each other and in this case each gas create individual pressure.
P= total pressure
P = pressure of neon
P = pressure of argon
P = pressure of helium {which is required}
P = P
+ P
+ P
1.25 = 0.68 + 0.35 + P
P = 1.25 - [0.68 + 0.35] = 0.22 atm
Answer:
In Cl, the 2 is a subscript because it indicates there are 2 of the same elements. The Lewis structure would display it as Cl-Cl.
On the other hand, a superscript would indicate a specific charge.
All subscripts show the amount of the specific element there is.
An example would be O or N
, they both show that there are 2 of the same elements.
If the subscript is outside a parenthesis such as it indicates there are 2
molecules.
