Answer:

2H2(g) + O2(g) ------------------> 2H2O(g)

Explanation:

Basically, the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen is a type of combination reaction and forms steam as its end product. The pure hydrogen burns with a blue flame with oxygen. Industrially, where the combination of hydrogen and oxygen is needed to undergo rapidly, platinum catalyst is introduced. This reaction gives steam rapidly. Platinum speeds up the rate of the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gases.

Cytochromes are critical participants in the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. How do c

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4) Each cytochrome has an iron‑containing heme group that accepts electrons and then donates the electrons to a more electronegative substance.

Explanation:

The cytochromes are proteins that contain heme prosthetic groups. Cytochromes undergo oxidation and reduction through loss or gain of a single electron by the iron atom in the heme of the cytochrome:

$Cytochrome-Fe²⁺ ⇄ cytochrome-Fe³⁺-e⁻$

The reduced form of ubiquinone (QH₂), an extraordinarily mobile transporter, transfers electrons to cytochrome reductase, a complex that contains cytochromes b and c₁, and a Fe-S center. This second complex reduces cytochrome c, a water-soluble membrane peripheral protein. Cytochrome c, like ubiquinone (Q), is a mobile electron transporter, which is transferred to cytochrome oxidase. This third complex contains the cytochromes a, a₃ and two copper ions. Heme iron and a copper ion of this oxidase transfer electrons to O₂, as the last acceptor, to form water.

Each transporter "downstream" is more electronegative than its neighbor "upstream"; oxygen is located in the inferior part of the chain. Thus, the electrons fall in an energetic gradient in the electron chain transport to a more stable localization in the electronegative oxygen atom.

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements

Cloud [144]

Fe(NO3)2
The NO3 part is a poly-atomic ion with total charge -1.
This is because Fe has a +2 charge and two NO3's with a -1 charge will balance out to 0.
Most often we just make the assumption that Oxygen has a -2 oxidation number because it is very electro-negative.
So to find N, we just need an oxidation number that balances out with 3(-2) to get -1 (the total charge of the ion)

Hot air balloons work due to a current moving heat energy around within the balloon. which heat energy transfer process is happe

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Convection.

Explanation:

Why? This transfer of heat energy away from the ground by the vertical movement of air is called "free convection" or "natural convection." A hot air balloon rises because warmer air is less dense than cool air. (plz brainlyest)
