What is the electron configuration for iron (Fe)?

Back

The electron configuration for iron (Fe) is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁶.

Front

How do you calculate percent by mass of an element in a compound?

Back

Percent by mass = (mass of element in 1 mole of compound / molar mass of compound) x 100%.

Front

What is the molar mass of Fe₂O₃?

Back

The molar mass of Fe₂O₃ is approximately 159.69 g/mol.

Front

What is the formula for calculating partial pressure in a gas mixture?

Back

Partial pressure = Total pressure - Sum of the partial pressures of other gases.

Front

What is the ideal gas law equation?

Back

The ideal gas law is PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin.

What is the chemical formula for calcium nitrate?

Back

The chemical formula for calcium nitrate is Ca(NO₃)₂.

Front

What is STP in chemistry?

Back

STP stands for Standard Temperature and Pressure, which is defined as 0 degrees Celsius (273.15 K) and 1 atm pressure.

Front

How many liters of gas are produced at STP from 1 mole of gas?

Back

At STP, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 liters.

Front

What is the balanced equation for the decomposition of water?

Back

The balanced equation is 2H₂O(l) → 2H₂(g) + O₂(g).
