Looking at both reactions, we can see that the combustion of carbon, graphite or diamond, leads to the formation of carbon dioxide and energy. Since energy is a product of the reaction, we known that this is an exothermic reaction. The value of the change in enthalpy, ΔH, will be negative.
A negative value of ΔH in each exothermic reaction suggests that the carbon dioxide product is at a lower energy than the reactants. And since more energy is released in the combustion of diamond compared to graphite, we know that diamond has a higher internal energy than graphite.
A characteristic which helps an animal to live longer will generally tend to become more common in the population because as the animal produces more offspring those traits are passed down to them. Eventually it will be a common characteristic in the population.
Hope that helped :)
Answer:
The answer to your question is 160 g of Fe₂O₃
Explanation:
Data
mass of Fe = 112 g
mass of CO = in excess
mass of Fe₂O₃ = ?
Balanced chemical reaction
Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂
Process
1.- Calculate the molar mass of Fe₂O₃ and Fe
Molar mass Fe₂O₃ = (56 x 2) + (16 x 3) = 112 + 48 = 160 g
atomic mass of Fe = 56
2.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of Fe₂O₃ needed
160 g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------- 2(56) g of Fe
x g of Fe₂O₃ ------------------ 112 g of Fe
x = (112 x 160) / 2(56)
x = 17920/112
x = 160 g of Fe₂O₃
