HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2
Igoryamba

Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product

Which is NOT correct for when the silver and vanadium half-cells are connected via a salt bridge and a potentiometer
lidiya [134]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is

Which is NOT correct for when the silver and vanadium half-cells are connected via a salt bridge and a potentiometer? Ag^+ + 1 e^- rightarrow Ag Edegree = 0.7993 V V^2+ + 2e^- right arrow V E degree =-1.125 V Ag+ is reduced V is oxidized 1.924 V V2^+ is reduced Ag is oxidized I and II III, IV, and V I, II, and III III only IV and V

Answer:

only IV and V

Explanation:

If we look at the values of reduction potential for the two species, we will discover that vanadium has a negative reduction potential indicating its tendency towards oxidation.

On the other hand, solve has a positive reduction potential indicating a tendency towards reduction.

This implies that vanadium must be oxidized and silver reduced and not the not her way ground? Hence the answer above.

A deficiency in thiamine (TPP) will directly decrease the activity of which of the following enzymes? a. Pyruvate carboxylase b.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

d. Transketolase

Explanation:

Transketolase utilize thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) as cofactor has reduced activity during the thiamine deficiency and results in the tissue damage. <u>The levels of steady-state mRNA of transketolase in human lymphoblasts, fibroblasts and neuroblastoma cells are found to be lower in the thiamine-deficient cultures.  </u>

Thus, deficiency in TPP directly decrease the activity of enzyme, transketolase.
