Explanation:

both reduction and oxidation are occurring simultaneously, this is known as a redox reaction. An oxidizing agent is substance which oxidizes something else. In the above example, the iron(III) oxide is the oxidizing agent. A reducing agent reduces something else

<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

The oxygen atoms undergo reduction, formally gaining electrons, while the carbon atoms undergo oxidation, losing electrons. Thus oxygen is the oxidizing agent and carbon is the reducing agent in this reaction.

4. Explain error and how it can impact your results from an experiment

Jet001 [13]

Random errors will shift each measurement from its true value by a random amount and in a random direction. These will affect reliability (since they're random) but may not affect the overall accuracy of a result.

Find the percentage composition of a compound that contains 1.94 g of carbon, 0.48 g of hydrogen, and 2.58 g of sulfur.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer : The percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.

Explanation :

To calculate the percentage composition of element in sample, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100$

Given:

Mass of carbon = 1.94 g

Mass of hydrogen = 0.48 g

Mass of sulfur = 2.58 g

First we have to calculate the mass of sample.

Mass of sample = Mass of carbon + Mass of hydrogen + Mass of sulfur

Mass of sample = 1.94 + 0.48 + 2.58 = 5.0 g

Now we have to calculate the percentage composition of a compound.

$\%\text{ composition of carbon}=\frac{1.94g}{5.0g}\times 100=38.8\%$

$\%\text{ composition of hydrogen}=\frac{0.48g}{5.0g}\times 100=9.6\%$

$\%\text{ composition of sulfur}=\frac{2.58g}{5.0g}\times 100=51.6\%$

Hence, the percentage composition of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in a compound is, 38.8 %, 9.6 % and 51.6 % respectively.

Which part of the mantle is still solid but flows like a heavy liquid

topjm [15]

The Earth is composed of four different layers. Many geologists believe that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials sank to the center and the lighter materials rose to the top. Because of this, the crust is made of the lightest materials (rock- basalts and granites) and the core consists of heavy metals (nickel and iron).

The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The Outer and Inner Cores are hotter still with pressures so great that you would be squeezed into a ball smaller than a marble if you were able to go to the center of the Earth!!!!!!

Ammonia (nh3) is widely used as a fertilizer and in many household cleaners. how much ammonia is produced when 6.64 mol of hydro

olga55 [171]

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃

doesnt matterN₂ + 6.64H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃

(6.64H₂/3H₂) x (2NH₃) =4.4266667

rounded to sig figs= 4.43
