Answer:

The equation is Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂.

The balanced reaction equation is Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂.

Explanation:

First, we have to write our equation. It's actually pretty straightforward - first we look for our reactants (looks like it's Fe₂O₃ and CO), then we look for our products (Fe and CO₂). Then, we have to balance it so that both sides have the same number of both element.

Currently, we have the equation Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ Fe + CO₂. There are 2 Fe atoms, 4 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the left side. There is 1 Fe atom, 2 O atoms, and 1 C atom on the right side.

First thing we can do is give our Fe on the right side a coefficient of 2. This will make it equivalent to the 2 Fe atoms on the left side:

Fe₂O₃ + CO ⇒ 2Fe + CO₂

Next, we need to make sure that we have the same number of C and O atoms on each side. This takes a little bit of thinking, but what we have to do is give CO a coefficient of 3 and CO₂ a coefficient of 3. This gives us 6 O atoms on the left side (when we include the O₃) and 6 O atoms on the right side (since there are 3 O₂ atoms and 3 times 2 is 6). Here's what that looks like:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO ⇒ 2Fe + 3CO₂

And that's how I balanced the equation. It can be confusing, but with enough practice, it will get easier and easier. :)

19.11 g of MgSO₄ is placed into 100.0 mL of water. The water's temperature increases by 6.70°C. Calculate ∆H, in kJ/mol, for the dissolution of MgSO₄. (The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g・°C and the density of the water is 1.00 g/mL). You can assume that the specific heat of the solution is the same as that of water.

If the [H3O+] of a solution is 1x 10-8 mol/L the [OH-] is
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

<em>(H30+)= 1x10^-6 M</em>

Explanation:

Both pH and pOH have a relationship to belonging to the same aqueous solution: the expression of the Kwater (ionic product of the water Kw) is used:

1x 10-8 mol/L equals to1x10-8 M

(H3O+) x (OH-) = 1x10^-14

(H30+)x 1x 10^-8 =1x10^-14

(H30+)= 1x10^-14/1x 10^-8

<em>(H30+)= 1x10^-6 M</em>

Determine the change in volume that takes place when a 2.00 L sample of N2 gas is heated from 250 C to 500 C.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

V₂ = 2.96 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 2.00 L

Initial temperature =  250°C

Final volume = ?

Final temperature = 500°C

Solution:

First of all we will convert the temperature into kelvin.

250+273 = 523 k

500+273= 773 k

According to Charles's law,

V∝ T

V = KT

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = T₂V₁/T₁

V₂ = 2 L × 773 K / 523 k

V₂ =  1546 L.K / 523 k

V₂ = 2.96 L
