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 does an atom differ from a molecule?
blagie [28]

Answer:

A molecule is a bunch of atoms combined.

An atom is the smallest part of an element, that you can get without splitting the nucleus of the atom.

Molecules are made of more two or more atoms joined together. The atoms can be same or different elements. A single molecule is the smallest piece of matter you can have without changing its properties.

Which postulate of dalton's atomic theory not relevant anymore?explain
VLD [36.1K]

Modern atomic theory is, of course, a little more involved than Dalton's theory but the essence of Dalton's theory remains valid. Today we know that atoms can be destroyed via nuclear reactions but not by chemical reactions. Also, there are different kinds of atoms (differing by their masses) within an element that are known as "isotopes", but isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties.

Many heretofore unexplained chemical phenomena were quickly explained by Dalton with his theory. Dalton's theory quickly became the theoretical foundation in chemistry.

Yasir wants to determine if there is a relationship between room color and sleep. Based on his research, Yasir makes an educated
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

B). An Experiment that tests the hypothesis.

Explanation:

The element that is missing from Yasir's scientific investigation is 'an experiment which tests a hypothesis.' His experiment does not provide a verifiable statement revealing his proposition or prediction regarding the possible outcome of the experiment which could be verified by using a research or investigation. He rather tests his proposition indirectly by asking 'which color they like better' and using it to make an educated guess. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
