Answer:
See the answer below.
Explanation:
Fire has three major components:
- Heat
- Smoke
- Gases ( in form of CO, CO2 etc)
If the victim had died as a result of the fire, he/he would have inhaled smoke and hot gases from the fire. These components would have resulted in traces of burns and soot deposition in the trachea and lungs as well as traces of CO in the blood of the victim.
If the analysis of the victim's corpse does not reflect some of the results above, it can be effectively concluded that the victim has been dead before the fire.
<em>The single most important indicator of death by the fire would be the presence of CO in the blood of the victim's corpse. All others might be to a less significant degrees.</em>
Answer:
I think that you want no, of moles
Explanation:
no, of mole of this amount= 15/44 = 0.341 mole
Half reaction 1: 2Fe° → Fe₂³⁺ + 6e⁻ /×2.
4Fe° → 2Fe₂³⁺ + 12e⁻.
Iron is oxidized from neutral charge (0) to oxidation number +3, one iron lose three electrons, two irons lose six electrons and four irons twelve electrons.
Half reaction 2: 12e⁻ + 3O₂ → 2O₃²⁻
Oxygen is reduced from neutral chage to oxidation number -2, one oxygen gain two electrons, six oxygens gain twelve electrons.
Balanced chemical reaction: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.
