Write a balanced half-reaction describing the oxidation of aqueous gold(i) cations to aqueous gold(iii) cations.

1 answer:

7 0

Balanced half-reaction: Au⁺(aq) → Au³⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.
Oxidation reaction is increasing of oxidation number of element, because element or ion lost electrons in chemical reaction.
Gold lost two electrons and change oxidation number from +1 to +3.
Reduction is lowering oxidation number because element gain electrons.

A child has a toy balloon with a volume of 1.80 L. The temperature of the balloon when it was filled was 293 K at a pressure of

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

2.42L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

V₁ = 1.8L

T₁ = 293K

P₁ = 101.3kPa

P₂ = 67.6kPa

T₂ = 263K

Unknown:

V₂ = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to use the combined gas law to find the final volume of the gas. The combined gas law expression combines the equation of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Avogadro's law;

$\frac{P_{1} V_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

All the units are in the appropriate form. We just substitute and solve for the unknown;

101.3 x 1.8 / 293 = 67.6 x V₂ / 263

V₂ = 2.42L

What are the two ways to measure the sand in a sand castle?

Sergeu [11.5K]

The two ways to measure the sand in a sand castle are by counting the number of pails of sand used to build the castle and by determining the mass of the sand used in building the castle. The first method makes use of the volume of the pail to determine the amount of sand while the second method is a more quantitative way.
