a.

an amount equal to the sum of the masses of iron and oxygen

b.

an amount greater than the sum of the masses of iron and oxygen

c.

an amount less than the sum of the masses of iron and oxygen

d.

There is no way to tell.

a.

an amount equal to the sum of the masses of iron and oxygen

b.

an amount greater than the sum of the masses of iron and oxygen

c.

an amount less than the sum of the masses of iron and oxygen

d.

Explanation / Answer

When dissolved in water, formaldehyde forms a hydrate, methanediol, with the formula H2C(OH)2.

A gas at room temperature, formaldehyde is colorless

thre fore all these options are correct

it dissolves in water.

e.

it is a gas at room temperature.

c.

it is colorless.

2. Fe+O = FeO

mass of O = mass of Fe = x gm say

moles of Fe = x/56

moles of O = x/16

Thus, Fe is the limiting reagent, so x/56 moles of FeO will be formed.

mass of FeO = (x/56) * (56+16)gm

b.

an amount greater than the sum of the masses of iron and oxygen

b.

an amount greater than the sum of the masses of iron and oxygen
