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

Complete combustion of a 17.12mg sample of xylene In oxygen yielded 56.77mg
Veronika [31]

Xylene moles =\frac{17.12}{106.16×1000}=0.00016moles=

106.16×1000

17.12

=0.00016moles

Moles of CO_2 =\frac{56.77}{44.01×1000}=0.0013CO

=

44.01×1000

56.77

=0.0013

Moles of H_2O= =\frac{14.53}{18.02×1000}=0.0008H

O==

18.02×1000

14.53

=0.0008

Moles ratios

\frac{0.0013}{0.0008}=1.625

0.0008

0.0013

=1.625

\frac{0.0008}{0.0008}=1

0.0008

0.0008

=1

Justify air is a mixture not a compound
Andreas93 [3]
A compound has to be chemically bonded, however, air is not chemically bonded.
This can be proven by freezing air. By freezing air, it yields different liquids at different temperature. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen.
If air was a compound, they would all have a single boiling point and a single freezing point.


Hope this helps :)
