Possible Chemical Reaction

Chemistry Level 2

How many possible chemical reactions are there among these reactions?

  • F e O + 2 H N O 3 F e ( N O 3 ) 2 + H 2 O FeO + 2HNO_3 \rightarrow Fe(NO_3)_2 + H_2O

  • F e ( O H ) 2 + 2 H N O 3 F e ( N O 3 ) 2 + 2 H 2 O Fe(OH)_2 + 2HNO_3 \rightarrow Fe(NO_3)_2 + 2H_2O

  • 3 F e ( N O 3 ) 2 + 4 H N O 3 3 F e ( N O 3 ) 3 + N O + 2 H 2 O 3Fe(NO_3)_2 + 4HNO_3 \rightarrow 3Fe(NO_3)_3 + NO + 2H_2O

  • F e 2 O 3 + 6 H N O 3 2 F e ( N O 3 ) 3 + 3 H 2 O Fe_2O_3 + 6HNO_3 \rightarrow 2Fe(NO_3)_3 + 3H_2O

The last 2 chemical reactions are possible to happen.

Correcting the first 2 reactions:

3 F e ( O H ) 2 + 10 H N O 3 3 F e ( N O 3 ) 3 + N O + 8 H 2 O 3Fe(OH)_2 + 10HNO_3 → 3Fe(NO_3)_3 + NO + 8H_2O (Concentrated nitric acid)

F e O + 4 H N O 3 F e ( N O 3 ) 3 + N O 2 + 2 H 2 O FeO + 4HNO_3 → Fe(NO_3)_3 + NO_2 + 2H_2O (Concentrated nitric acid)

3 F e O + 10 H N O 3 3 F e ( N O 3 ) 3 + N O + 5 H 2 O 3FeO + 10HNO_3 → 3Fe(NO_3)_3 + NO + 5H_2O (Dilute nitric acid)

ty. you post interesting problems. it would be nice to know why the two reactions will not happen and why the other 2 do happen.
the sum of the elements fits for all 4 "equations", so some wording would be nice.
like: FeO does not ...

No. of tries = 3 \text{No. of tries}=3

No. of options = 5 \text{No. of options}=5

Probability of getting correct = No. of tries No. of options = 3 5 = 60 % \text{Probability of getting correct}=\dfrac{\text{No. of tries}}{\text{No. of options}}=\dfrac{3}{5}=\boxed{60\%}

Oops, thanks for your notice!

BTW, which ones are correct. I really don't know.

Lol. Actually it's 3 5 = 60 % \displaystyle\frac35 = 60\% as 0 0 is also a possible answer. :)
