14.292 grams of Fe2O3 is formed when 10 gram of iron metal is burned.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is to be known so that number of moles taking part can be known.
The balanced chemical equation is
4Fe + 3⇒ 2
From the given weight of iron to be used for the production of , number of moles of Fe taking part in the reaction can be known by the formula:
Number of moles= mass ÷ Atomic mass of one mole of the element.
(Atomic weight of Fe is 55.845 gm/mole)
Putting the values in equation
Number of moles = 10 gm ÷ 55.845 gm/mole
= 0.179 moles
Applying the stoichiometry concept
4 moles of Fe gives 2 Moles of Fe2O3
0.179 moles will produce x moles of Fe2O3
So, 2÷ 4 = x ÷ 0.179
2/4 = x/ 0.179
2 × 0.179 = 4x
2 × 0.179 / 4 = x
x = 0.0895 moles
So from 10 grams of iron metal 0.0895 moles of Fe2O3 is formed.
Now the formula used above will give the weight of Fe2O3
weight = atomic weight × number of moles
= 159.69 grams × 0.0895
= 14.292 grams of Fe2O3 formed.
Reduction is the process by which eletrons are gained by an atom.
Answer:
Atomic radius of sodium = 227 pm
Atomic radius of potassium = 280 pm
Explanation:
Atomic radii trend along group:
As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.
Consider the example of sodium and potassium.
Sodium is present above the potassium with in same group i.e, group one.
The atomic number of sodium is 11 and potassium 19.
So potassium will have larger atomic radius as compared to sodium.
Atomic radius of sodium = 227 pm
Atomic radius of potassium = 280 pm
The frequency of the sound waves travel faster and more effectively in liquids than in air and travel even more effectively in solids.
