Considering the given reaction, 109 g of Fe are needed to generate 5.25 g of H₂.

<h3>What is stoichiometry?</h3>

Stoichiometry refers to the relationship between the quantities of reactants and products before, during, and following chemical reactions.

Step 1: Write the balanced equation.

3 Fe + 4 H₂O ⇒ 4 H₂ + Fe₃O₄

Step 2: Calculate the mass of Fe needed to produce 5.25 g of H₂.

We will consider the following relationships.

The molar mass of Fe is 55.85 g/mol.
The molar ratio of Fe to H₂ is 3:4.
The molar mass of H₂ is 2.02 g/mol.

$5.25gH_2 \times \frac{1molH_2}{2.02gH_2} \times\frac{3molFe}{4molH_2} \times\frac{55.85gFe}{1molFe} = 109gFe$

Considering the given reaction, 109 g of Fe are needed to generate 5.25 g of H₂.

Both white phosphorus and red phosphorus are made up only of phosphorus atoms.Does this mean they are both pure substances? Coul

choli [55]

True, both of the red and white phosphorus is a pure substance.

Both red and white phosphorus is made of phosphor element but they have a different structure which causes them to have a different color. This phenomenon called allotropes when a chemical element has two or more different form.They are not compounds as they are only made of phosphorus. A compound should be made by at least two different elements.

How does matter change phase?

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Phase changes typically occur when the temperature or pressure of a system is altered. When temperature or pressure increases, molecules interact more with each other. When pressure increases or temperature decreases, it's easier for atoms and molecules to settle into a more rigid structure.

You can have as many controls as necessary, But they must remain equal at all times in order to get the most accurate results

As matter changes, what happens to the energy?

OlgaM077 [116]

Energy, Temperature, and Changes of State

Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid.
