Explanation:

Because two sides don't have an equal number of O atoms. The left side has 6 O atoms (3*2) while the right side has only 1 O atom. to balance the equation, you need an equal number of atoms on both sides.

Which element decreases its oxidation number in this reaction? bicl2 + na2so4 → 2nacl + biso4?

kifflom [539]

The balanced reaction is as follows;
BiCl₂ + Na₂SO₄ --> 2NaCl + BiSO₄
this is a double displacement reaction
the oxidation number of Bi is +2 in both BiCl₂ and BiSO₄
oxidation number of Cl is -1 in both BiCl₂ and NaCl
oxidation number of Na is +1 in both Na₂SO₄ and NaCl
oxidation numbers of elements in SO₄²⁻ remains the same in both compounds.Therefore the oxidation state in any of the elements in the reaction doesn't change. Neither of the elements show an increase or decrease in the oxidation numbers .
Answer for this question is no element decreases its oxidation number.

If 4000 g of Fe2O3 reacts, how many moles of CO are needed? (add work)

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

75.15 mol.

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to write the balanced equation of the reaction:

Fe₂O₃ + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO₂.

It is clear that 1.0 mole of Fe₂O₃ reacts with 3.0 moles of CO to produce 2.0 moles of Fe and 3.0 moles of CO₂.

∴ Fe₂O₃ reacts with CO with (1: 3) molar ratio.

we need to calculate the no. of moles of (4000 g) of Fe₂O₃:

no. of moles of Fe₂O₃ = mass/molar mass = (4000 g)/(159.69 g/mol) = 25.05 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of Fe₂O₃ needs → 3.0 moles of CO,

∴ 25.05 mole of Fe₂O₃ needs → ??? moles of CO.

∴ The no. of moles of CO needed = (3.0 mol)(25.05 mol)/(1.0 mol) = 75.15 mol.
