When a piece of metal A is placed in a solution containing ions of metal B, metal B plates out on the piece of A.(a) Which metal

is being oxidized?

zmey [24]1 year ago
5 0

While metal B is being reduced from an ion to a solid metal, metal A is being oxidized.

Metal A is being displaced because, through oxidation, it transforms from a solid metal to ions in a solution.

What is Oxidation ?

Redox reactions include a change in the oxidation state of the substrate. Loss of electrons or a rise in an element's oxidation state are both considered to be oxidation.

Gaining electrons or lowering the oxidation state of an element or its constituent atoms are both examples of reduction.

In general, the term "reduction" refers to a reaction in which a chemical receives additional electrons; the compound that gets electrons is referred to as being reduced. We can think of the transformation of a ketone or an aldehyde into an alcohol as a two-electron reduction because hydride can be thought of as a proton plus two electrons.

So finally we can say that Metal A is being oxidized.

A student has a 2.19 L bottle that contains a mixture of O 2 , N 2 , and CO 2 with a total pressure of 5.57 bar at 298 K . She k
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of oxygen gas is 2.76 bar

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 5.57 bar

V = Volume of the gas = 2.19 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 298 K

R = Gas constant = 0.0831\text{ L bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = Total number of moles = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.57bar\times 2.19L=n\times 0.0831\text{ L. bar }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{5.57\times 2.19}{0.0831\times 298}=0.493mol

To calculate the mole fraction of carbon dioxide, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

p_{A}=p_T\times \chi_{A}         ........(1)

where,

p_A = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.318 bar

p_T = total pressure = 5.57 bar

\chi_A = mole fraction of carbon dioxide = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.318bar=5.57bar\times \chi_{CO_2}\\\\\chi_{CO_2}=\frac{0.381}{5.57}=0.0571

  • Mole fraction of a substance is given by:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

We are given:

Moles of nitrogen gas = 0.221 moles

Mole fraction of nitrogen gas, \chi_{N_2}=\frac{0.221}{0.493}=0.448

Calculating the partial pressure of oxygen gas by using equation 1, we get:

Mole fraction of oxygen gas = (1 - 0.0571 - 0.448) = 0.4949

Total pressure of the system = 5.57 bar

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

p_{O_2}=5.57bar\times 0.4949\\\\p_{O_2}=2.76bar

Hence, the partial pressure of oxygen gas is 2.76 bar

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside. ... The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.

Which of the following is true for balancing equations?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D) There must be equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.

Explanation:

The balancing equation must have equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.

The balance equation shoes mass is conserved thus followed the law of conservation of mas.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

What is the 3-dimensional orientation of a sublevel known as?
RoseWind [281]

The 3-dimensional orientation of a sublevel is known as atomic orbital.

In quantum mechanics, Atomic orbitals are locations around an atom's nucleus where electrons are most likely to be at any particular time(specific orbits). These specific orbits exist in levels and can be broken down into sublevels.

Each sublevel has an orbital and it is oriented differently in 3-dimensional space.

The atomic orbital is a mathematical function that depicts how one or two electrons in an atom behave as seen in waves.
