Answer:

Redox reaction (Reduction-oxidation reaction) is simply the addition of oxygen in a reactant (oxidation) & its reduction in any other reactant (reduction).

For example, Fe2O3 + 3CO ⟶ 2Fe + 3CO2 is a redox reaction because Fe gets reduced while CO is oxidised (refer to the attachment).

________

Note: Remember that the equation should match the law of conservation of mass which states that the mass of the products should match the mass of the reactants always as energy can neither be gained or reduced.

________

What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 32.39 percent sodium, 22.53 percent sulfur, and 45.07 percent oxygen?

djverab [1.8K]

To get the empirical formula of this compound, we take a basis of 100 grams which means each percentage is equivalent to 1 gram. Hence there is 32.39 grams sodium, 22. 53 grams sulfur and 45.07 grams oxygen. We convert each mass to their moles by dividing by their respective molar mass. Na: 1.408, S:0.704 and O:2.82. divide each with the lowest: Na: 2: S: 1 and O:4. Hence the formula is Na2SO4.

In which regions of the atmosphere does temperature increase as altitude increases

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

<h2>stratosphere</h2>

In the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude.
The stratosphere contains the ozone layer, which protects the planet from the Sun's harmful UV.
The higher layers contain few gas molecules and are very cold.

You need to prepare a solution with a specific concentration of Na+Na+ ions; however, someone used the end of the stock solution

babymother [125]

Explanation:

Ionic equation

NaCl(aq) --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Na2SO4(aq) --> 2Na+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)

In NaCl solution, 1 mole of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution while in Na2SO4, 2 moles of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution.

Molecular weight of NA2SO4 = (23*2) + 32 + (16*4)

= 142 g/mol

Molecular weight of NaCl = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5 g/mol

Masses

% Mass of NA+ in Na2SO4 = mass of Na+/total mass of Na2SO4 * 100

= 46/142 * 100

= 32.4%

% Mass of NA+ in NaCl = mass of Na+/total mass of NaCl * 100

= 23/58.5 * 100

= 39.3%

Therefore, the % mass of Na+ in NaCl and Na2SO4 are different so it cannot be used.

A mouse is placed in a sealed chamber with air at 769.0 torr. This chamber is equipped with enough solid KOH to absorb any CO2 a

svlad2 [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial pressure of air = 769.0 torr

Final pressure of air = 717.1 torr

Pressure of oxygen = Pressure decreased = Initial pressure - Final pressure = (769.0 - 717.1) torr = 51.9 torr

To calculate the amount of oxygen gas consumed, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 51.9 torr

V = Volume of the gas = 2.20 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 292 K

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of oxygen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$51.9torr\times 2.20L=n\times 62.364\text{ L. Torr }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 292K\\\\n=\frac{51.9\times 2.20}{62.364\times 292}=0.0063mol$

To calculate the mass from given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of oxygen gas = 0.0063 moles

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0063mol=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen gas}}{32g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of oxygen gas}=(0.0063mol\times 32g/mol)=0.202g$

Hence, the amount of oxygen gas consumed by mouse is 0.202 grams.
