Answer:
Making oxygen
Oxygen can be made from hydrogen peroxide, which decomposes slowly to form water and oxygen:
hydrogen peroxide → water + oxygen
2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
The rate of reaction can be increased using a catalyst, manganese(IV) oxide. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are given off.
Apparatus arranged to measure the volume of gas in a reaction. Reaction mixture is in a flask and gas travels out through a pipe in the top and down into a trough of water. It then bubbles up through a beehive shelf into an upturned glass jar filled with water. The gas collects at the top of the jar, forcing water out into the trough below.
To make oxygen in the laboratory, hydrogen peroxide is poured into a conical flask containing some manganese(IV) oxide. The gas produced is collected in an upside-down gas jar filled with water. As the oxygen collects in the top of the gas jar, it pushes the water out.
Instead of the gas jar and water bath, a gas syringe could be used to collect the oxygen.
Answer: An insulator would be made out of material unable to conduct electricity due to lack of fluid movement for electrons, such as rubber. Rubber properties not only prevents them from freely moving, but also helps electrons stay tightly bound to each other.
Hope this helps ^_^
False that atom is the smallest identifiable unit of a compound.
The smallest identifiable unit of a compound is the Element. Element is the one which make up the compound and element is made up by atoms. Example of element is oxygen and hydrogen which make up water (H2O) which is a compound.
Answer:
NO2- is the reducing agent.
Cr2O7_2- is the oxidizing agent.
H+ is neither
Explanation:
Reduction is the gain in electron. A chemical specie that undergoes reduction is called the oxidizing agent.
Oxidation is simply the loss in electrons. A chemical specie that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent.
Let us look at the species.
The first specie is the NO2-. In this specie, the oxidation number of nitrogen changed from +3 to +5 in NO3-. Thus we can see that there is more loss of electron to have caused an increase in the oxidation number positively. This shows an oxidation. Hence, NO2- is the reducing agent.
Let us look at the chromium. We can see that the oxidation number of chromium changed from +7 to +3.
Now we can see that it is a decrease and hence, it is a gain of electron and thus it is reduction. This means the first chromium specie is the oxidizing agent.
The hydrogen ion is simply placed there to balance the ions and hence it is neither the oxidizing nor the reducing agent.
i think the answer is B. They have low reactivity.Hope this helped (:
