Answer:

c. 3

Explanation:

Fe₂O₃ + H₂ ---> Fe + H₂O

1) I'd start with balancing the oxygen on both sides as there are three on the left and one on the right. Add 3 in front of H₂O to solve this. Now we have

Fe₂O₃ + H₂ ---> Fe + 3H₂O

Fe₂O₃ + H₂ ---> Fe + 3H₂O

2) Fe is not balanced as there are two Fe on the left and one Fe on the right. Add 2 in front of Fe to give

Fe₂O₃ + H₂ ---> 2Fe + 3H₂O

3) Fe₂O₃ + H₂ ---> 2Fe + 3H₂O

H is not balanced as there are two H on the left and 6 H on the right (3 × 2 = 6) so add 3 in H₂ to be equal

Fe₂O₃ + 3H₂ ---> 2Fe + 3H₂O

the equation is fully balanced

Classify each of the following as a homogeneous mixture, heterogeneous mixture, element, or compound:
dexar [7]
<span>a) Table salt: it is a compound. A compound is a combination of atoms in fixed proportions.Table salt is NaCl, which means that table salt is a compound of 1 atom of Na and 1 atom of Cl and not other thing. b) Blood: is an homogeneous mixture: it is a mixture of many compounds which can not be easily distinguished or separated, you need microscopes or very special physical methods to distinguish or separate the different compounds of blood. d) Steel: it is a special king of homogeneous mixture (it is called an alloy) which, as in the case of blood, cannot be distinguished or separated easily. d) Planet earth: it is a heterogeneous mixture. You can easily distinguish many of the compounds of the planet Earth: water, oxygen, carbon,...</span><span />

For wach of the following cases, state whether the density of the object increases, decreases, or remains the same:
Ahat [919]

Answer:

a) increases.

b) remains the same.

c) decreases.  the hydrogen molecules constrict or shrink from actual size!

Explanation:

Since ,

Density is given as mass divided by the volume .

( a ) As the Chlorine gas is compressed , the molecules of gas comes close to each other , and hence , the density increases .

( b ) When the lead is taken to high mountain , its density remains the same , as density is independent of higher pressure , as going to mountain will increase the pressure .

( c ) As the water is freeze , its density decreases ,

Because ice is less dense than water , as seen , the ice ice can float on the surface of water .

How many grams of NaF form when .5 mol of HF reacts with excess Na2SiO3?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

5.25g

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is shown below:

Na2SiO3 + 8HF → H2SiF6 + 2NaF + 3H2O

From the balanced equation above,

8 moles of HF reacted to produce 2 moles of NaF.

Therefore, 0.5 moles of HF will react to produce = (0.5 x 2)/8 = 0.125 mole of NaF.

Next, we shall convert 0.125 mole of NaF to grams.

This is illustrated below:

Mole of NaF = 0.125 mole

Molar mass of NaF = 23 + 19 = 42g/mol

Mass of NaF =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of NaF = 0.125 x 42

Mass of NaF = 5.25g

Therefore, 5.25g of NaF is produced from the reaction.
