Given the equation representing a reaction:

1 answer:

Oxidation-reactions are equations where some species release electrons and other species gain electron.

So two reactions happen simultaneously the oxidation of one species and the reduction off the other species.

In the oxidations, the species release electrons and, consequently, increase their oxidation number.

In the reductions, the species gain electrons and, consequently, decrease their oxidation number.

This last reaction, reduction, is what the above equation represents: Sn 4+ is gaining 2 electrons and so its oxidation number decrease from 4+ to 2+.

In, conclusion that is a reduction equation (option d)

fredd [130]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the sorensen equation; pH = -Log[H+]

2.7 = -Log[H+]

H+ = 10^-2.7

H+ = 0.001995M = Hydrogen ion concentration

Basically, the more the charges, the higher the hydrogen ion concentration stand vice versa. +2 has the highest concentration.

For which purpose do biochemists insert human genes into bacteria?

forsale [732]

Insertion of human genes into bacteria, also known as recombinant DNA technology, is used for the large scale production of human insulin, using bacteria as the insulin-producing machinery. The gene containing information for insulin production is inserted into the DNA of bacteria, which transcribe and translate it, and insulin is produced.
