B. The ignition point for a given fuel is met.

Combustion is a process in which there is reaction between a substance and oxygen which gives off heat. Thus, the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer while the substance is called the fuel. However, the fuel can be inform of liquid, solid or gas and the process of combustion releases heat.

Consider the following equilibrium between N2O4 and NO2.[Heat is added to a brown 2 NO2 gas to yield a colorless N2O4 gas]Which
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

a.Low temperature

Explanation

Equation of reaction:

2NO2 <==> N2O4(g) ∆H = +ve

To cause the reaction to become darker brown means to produce more of NO2 gas. That is backward reaction.

Since the reaction is endothermic, decrease in temperature will shift the equilibrium position to the left thereby favouring backward reaction. This is in line with Me Chatelier's principle.

High pressure will rather favour forward reaction (it is not the right option).

Based on table N of the reference tables what is the number of hours required for 42k (potassium -42) to undergo three half-life
skelet666 [1.2K]

The number of hours required : 37.2 hours

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

⁴²K (potassium -42)

Required

The number of hours

Solution

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

Based on Table N(attached), the half-life for ⁴²K is 12.4 hours, which means half of a sample of ⁴²K will decay in 12.4 hours

For three half-life periods :

\tt 3\times 12.4=37.2~hours

Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of dichromate ion to chromium ion in acidic aqueous solution. Be sure to add ph
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The balanced half-reaction for the reduction of dichromate ion to chromium ion in acidic aqueous solution:

Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq)+14H^+(aq)+6e^-\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_2O(l)

Explanation:

The reaction :

Cr_2O_7^{2-}\rightarrow Cr^{3+}

Balancing of reaction in an acidic medium:

Step 1: Balance the atoms in the reaction:

Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)

Step 2: Balance oxygen atom by adding water on the side where no oxygen or less oxygen atom is present;

Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_2O(l)

Step 3: Balance the hydrogen atom by adding  hydrogen ions on the side where water is absent:

Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq)+14H^+(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_2O(l)

Step 4: Now balance charge by adding electrons on the side where more positive charge is present

Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq)+14H^+(aq)+6e^-\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_2O(l)

The balanced half-reaction for the reduction of dichromate ion to chromium ion in acidic aqueous solution:

Cr_2O_7^{2-}(aq)+14H^+(aq)+6e^-\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_2O(l)
