Answer: The coefficient for the diatomic oxygen (O2) is 3.
Explanation:
To know the coefficient for the diatomic Oxygen, we need to balance the equation.
Fe + O2 -------> Fe2O3
LHS of the equation; Fe = 1 , O2 = 1
RHS of the equation; Fe = 2 , O = 3
∴ Multiply 'Fe' on the LHS of the equation by 4 and O2 by 3
Doing that will give the balance equation which is;
4 Fe + 3 O2 --------> 2 Fe2O3
The coefficient for the diatomic oxygen (O2) as seen from the equation is 3.
Answer:
It Is Considered The "negative" Electrode
Explanation:
An electrochemical cell is an electrolytic cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. This cell is used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis. An electrode at which reduction take place is called the cathode. In reduction, electrons travel toward the site of reduction such that the negative charge is on the cathode.
I would be difficult to remove an electron from a Noble or Inert Gas (also known as the group 8 or 0 elements). This is because they all have filled outermost shells and as such the outermost shell would be held tightly to the nucleus and as such make it difficult to remove. Examples Helium, Neon, Argon, Xenon, Krypton and Radon
