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

How many moles of atoms are contained in the following 2.25g of k
ZanzabumX [31]
Atomic mass (K)= 39.1 amu

therefore:
1 mol (k)---------------------39.1 g
x------------------------------- 2.25 g

x=(1 mol * 2.25 g) / 39.1 g=0.05754....≈0.06 moles

Answer: 0.06 moles.

Realiza los cálculos para determinar la cantidad de KOH 90%, que se necesita para preparar 100 ml de solución 1N.
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

6.23 KOH 90% son necesarios

Explanation:

Una solución 1N de KOH requiere 1equivalente (En KOH, 1eq = 1mol) por cada litro de solución.

Para responder esta pregunta se requiere hallar los equivalentes = Moles de KOH para preparar 100mL = 0.100L de una solución 1N. Haciendo uso de la masa molar de KOH y del porcentaje de pureza del KOH se pueden calcular los gramos requeridos para preparar la solución así:

<em>Equivalentes KOH:</em>

0.100L * (1eq / L) = 0.100eq = 0.100moles

<em>Gramos KOH -Masa molar: 56.1056g/mol-:</em>

0.100moles * (56.1056g/mol) = 5.61 KOH se requieren

<em>KOH 90%:</em>

5.61g KOH * (100g KOH 90% / 90g KOH) =

<h3>6.23 KOH 90% son necesarios</h3>

Which statement describes how a basic coffee cup calorimeter works? A) It measures the mass of a substance given the specific he
fomenos
A calorimeter experiment is a set-up that provides insulation so that no heat escapes to the surroundings and all energy can be accounted for. It can be done at either constant volume or constant pressure. So, the answer to this is knowing the mass of water, the specific heat which is an empirical data, and the change in temperature which can be measured using a thermometer. This experiment could measure the mass of an unknown substance added or the specific heat of the substance or the calorimeter. <em>The answer is D.</em>

what property easily changes in gases but does not easily change in solids a.mass b.color c.shape d.smell
liq [111]

C. Shape, because increasing pressure has a profound influence on the volume of a gas sample, for example, it pushes the particles closer together; thus gases are considered compressible.
