In a certain compound of iron and oxygen, FexOy, it is found that a sample of this compound weighing 6.285 g contains 4.396 g of Fe. What is the formula of the oxide?

Formula of oxide is

Explanation:

The given compound consists of Fe and O.

So, mass of oxygen in sample = (mass of sample) - (mass of Fe in sample)

                                                   = (6.285 g ) - (4.396 g)

                                                   = 1.889 g

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol and molar mass of Fe = 55.845 g/mol

So, ratio of number of moles of Fe and O (Fe : O)

      =

      = 0.0787 : 0.118

      =

      = 1 : 1.5

      = 2 : 3

So, formula of oxide is

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.
