The gallionella bacteria reaction
that is Fe2+ → Fe3+ is example of oxidation reaction (answer A)
Explanation
oxidation reaction reaction occurs when electrons are lost during reaction by a molecule or ion or atom. when oxidation occurs the oxidation state of the molecule or ion or atom increases. For this reason Fe2+ → Fe3+ is a oxidation reaction since the oxidation state move from oxidation state 2 to 3
The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
Silicon reacts with carbon dioxide to form silicon carbide and silicon dioxide. Write the balanced chemical equation.
<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.
A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of silicon and carbon dioxide follows:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of silicon reacts with 1 mole of carbon dioxide gas to produce 1 mole of silicon carbide and 1 mole of silicon dioxide
Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
The three particles of any atom are
<u>electron</u>) the smallest particle and is held in shells around the nucleus of the atom
<u>proton</u>) is found in the nucleus and is much larger than an electron
<u>neutron</u>) the same mass as a proton and also found in the nucleus of the atom
