First determine the formal oxidation numbers: 
N changes from +2 to +5 going from NO to (NO3)- O remains -2 the whole time Cr changes from +6 to +3 
Now write the half reactions, balance the oxygens with the required number of waters and then balance the hydrogens with the required number of protons: 
Oxidation half reaction: 
NO(aq) + 2 H2O(l) ---> (NO3)-(aq) + 4 H+(aq) + 3 e- 
Reduction half reaction: 
(Cr2O7)2-(aq) + 14 H+(aq) + 6 e- ---> 2 Cr3+(aq) + 7 H2O(l) 
Now balance the number of electrons on both sides and add them together: 
2 NO(aq) + 4 H2O(l) ---> 2 (NO3)-(aq) + 8 H+(aq) + 6 e- (Cr2O7)2-(aq) + 14 H+(aq) + 6 e- ---> 2 Cr3+(aq) + 7 H2O(l) --------------------------------------... 2 NO(aq) + (Cr2O7)2-(aq) + 6 H+(aq) ---> 2 (NO3)-(aq) + 2 Cr3+(aq) + 3 H2O(l) 
Notice that the charge is the same in both sides, which is an indication that the redox equation has been balanced correctly: 
-2 + 6 = -2 + 2(+3) +4 = +4

PLEASE HURRY! What is the name of this alkane?
belka [17]

Answer:

C. 1-ethyl, 3-methylcyclohexane

(Photo for proof at the bottom.)

Explanation:

The 1-ethyl is because you start numbering from the longest branch, towards the next closest branch. Prefix "eth-" means two, there are 2 carbons in the longest branch. 3-methyl is because the next branch is at number 3, and prefix "meth-" means 1, there is 1 carbon in that chain. "Cyclo" in cyclohexane means the skeletal model is shaped like a ring, and the "hexane" means there are 6 carbons in the ring. Prefix "hex" means 6.

Here's a photo of the unit review on Edge. Refer to the 2nd attachment for a visualization.

How does a change in frequency or amplitude change the sound we hear
suter [353]
<span>Pitch is sometimes defined as the fundamental frequency of a sound wave (i.e. generally, the lowest frequency in a given sound wave). For most practical purposes, this is fine, and pitch and frequency can be thought of as equivalent. On the other hand, for most practical purposes, amplitude can be thought of as volume.However, technically, pitch (and volume) are human perceptions. Thus, our perception of pitch and volume are not solely based on frequency and amplitude respectively, but are based on a combination of both (and even other factors). Frequency overwhelming dictates perceived pitch, but amplitude also does have some small, small effect on our pitch perception, especially when it is very large. For example, a very loud sound can have a different <span>perceived </span>pitch than you would predict from its frequency alone.That all being said, usually these effects are negligible, and pitch can be thought of as equivalent to fundamental frequency.

Describe how adding the prefix mega to a unit affects the quantity being described
neonofarm [45]

If the prefix mega is added to the unit of the quantity being described, the magnitude of quantity increases by 10^{6} times i.e. 1 million times.

For Example- 1 MW = 1000000 watts
