Answer:
Option A
250 degrees Celcius
Explanation:
If 1046J of heat energy is added to water, the water will experience a rise in temperature, at a rate that is directly proportional to its specific heat capacity.
Mathematically, this can be seen as
Where C = specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g • °C.
Q = heat energy = 1046 J
Therefore, the increase in temperature that will be experienced, is for 250 degrees Celcius
Answer:
Described by a redox reaction below
Explanation:
Iron(III) oxide is an ionic compound, since it consists of a metal, iron, and a nonmetal, oxygen.
Ionic compounds are formed when metals lose their valence electrons in order to have an octet in their previous shell and donate them to nonmetal atoms, so that nonmetals fill their outer shell to have an octet.
As a result, positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) are formed. When iron reacts with oxygen, the following reaction takes place:
This is a redox (oxidation–reduction) reaction, since we have electron loss and gain. Four iron atoms lose a total of 12 electrons to obtain a +3 charge in the final compound, while 3 oxygen molecules gain these 12 electrons to become 6 oxide anions with a -2 charge.
