Answer:

The balanced redox is:

14 H⁺ + Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 3Sn²⁺ → 3Sn4⁺  + 2Cr³⁺  + 7H₂O

So the coefficient for the H⁺ is greater than 4 (option E)

Explanation:

This is the redox reaction:

Cr₂O₇²⁻ (aq) + Sn²⁺ (aq)  →  Cr³⁺ (aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq)

First of all, we must determine the half reactions:

In dycromate, Cr acts with +6 in the oxidation state → Cr cation has +3 in product side - Oxidation state, has decreased so this is the reduction.

In reactant side Sn cation acts with +2 → In product side Sn acts with +4

The oxidation state has increased, so this is the oxidation.

Cr₂O₇²⁻  → Cr³⁺

We have to add 2, to Cr in reactant side, and as we are in adicid medium we add water in the opposite side of oxygen. The same amount of oxgen, that we have.

Cr₂O₇²⁻  → 2Cr³⁺ + 7H₂O

Finally, as we have 14 H in product side, we must add 14 H⁺ to the reactant side. Cr+⁶ in dycromate to change to Cr³⁺, gained 3 e⁻, but we have 2 Cr, so in total the Cr gained 6e⁻. The balanced half reaction is:

14 H⁺ + Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6e⁻ → 2Cr³⁺  + 7H₂O

Sn²⁺ to change the oxidation state, to +4 had to release electrons:

Sn²⁺ →  Sn4⁺  + 2e⁻

The electrons are unbalanced, so we must to multiply the half reactions:

(14 H⁺ + Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6e⁻ → 2Cr³⁺  + 7H₂O) x1

(Sn²⁺ →  Sn4⁺  + 2e⁻ ) x3

And we sum both:

14 H⁺ + Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6e⁻ + 3Sn²⁺ → 3Sn4⁺  + 6e⁻  + 2Cr³⁺  + 7H₂O

<span>The atmosphere is a thin layer of gases that surrounds the Earth. It seals the planet and protects us from the vacuum of space. It protects us from electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun and small objects flying through space such as meteoroids.</span><span>

So it's like a blanket protecting us but it has air hole/patches where sunlight can get through</span>

Have people considered that aliens could possibly live without oxygen and water and we are looking in the wrong direction for a
bija089 [108]
I have never heard anyone ever say anything about aliens only living by using the same metabolistic processes as humans... But.. there may likely be another planet out there that does use oxygen, although at a different percentage from Earths. Anyways, even if we do find "other" life forms, who's to say that they're on the same level as us? Have you ever considered the fact that ants to us are like we are to other life forms out there and maybe they don't want or can't communicate with us because they see themselves as superior?

Hope that helps!

What is the volume of 0.80 grams of o2 gas at stp? (5 points) group of answer choices 0.59 liters 0.56 liters 0.50 liters 0.47 l
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

0.56L

Explanation:

This question requires the Ideal Gas Law:  PV=nRT where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is the number of moles of the gas, R is the Ideal Gas constant, and T is the Temperature of the gas.

Since all of the answer choices are given in units of Liters, it will be convenient to use a value for R that contains "Liters" in its units:R=0.0821\frac{L\cdot atm}{mol\cdot K}

Since the conditions are stated to be STP, we must remember that STP is Standard Temperature Pressure, which means T=273.15K and P=1atm

Lastly, we must calculate the number of moles of O_2(g) there are.  Given 0.80g of O_2(g), we will need to convert with the molar mass of O_2(g).  Noting that there are 2 oxygen atoms, we find the atomic mass of O from the periodic table (16g/mol) and multiply by 2:  32g\text{ }O_2=1mol\text{ }O_2

Thus, \frac{0.80g \text{ }O_2}{1} \frac{1mol\text{ }O_2}{32g\text{ }O_2}=0.25mol\text{ }O_2=n

Isolating V in the Ideal Gas Law:

PV=nRT

V=\frac{nRT}{P}

...substituting the known values, and simplifying...

V=\frac{(0.025 mol \text{ }O_2)(0.0821\frac{L\cdot atm}{mol \cdot K} )(273.15K)}{(1atm)}

V=0.56L \text{ } O_2

So, 0.80g of O_2(g) would occupy 0.56L at STP.

Which statement is true regarding carbonic acid (H 2CO 3)? If body fluids are too alkaline, carbonic acid is excreted through th
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

the correct option is : If body fluids are too acidic, carbonic acid is excreted through the respiratory system in the form of carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

Metabolic acidosis is compensated by two systems, the renal and respiratory systems.

In the case of the respiratory system, the mechanism it uses to compensate for this phenomenon is to release the carbonic acid molecule dissociated into its components, that is, in the form of water and carbon dioxide.

The greater the acidosis, the more hyperventilation the person will have, and this is because they seek to eliminate carbonic acid more efficiently and quickly, along with renal excision.

The metabolic acidosis generated by carbonic acid is lethal, since the proteins in our body are denatured and the homeostasis of all systems is corrupted.
