bezimeni [28]3 years ago
7 0
<span>Balanced half-reaction: Au</span>⁺<span>(aq) </span>→ <span> Au</span>³⁺(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.

As you move across the period on the periodic table what pattern can be described about the electron configurations?
xeze [42]

Answer:

Elements in the same period have same number of electronic shell and electron is increased by one in every coming element with in same electronic shell.

Explanation:

Consider the second period of periodic table. This period consist of eight elements lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon.

Electronic configuration of lithium:

Li₃ = [He] 2s¹

Electronic configuration of beryllium:

Be₄ = [He] 2s²

Electronic configuration of boron:

B₅ = [He] 2s² 2p¹

Electronic configuration of carbon:

C₆ = [He] 2s² 2p²

Electronic configuration of nitrogen:

N₇ = [He] 2s² 2p³

Electronic configuration of oxygen:

O₈ = [He] 2s² 2p⁴

Electronic configuration of fluorine:

F₉ = [He] 2s² 2p⁵

Electronic configuration of neon:

Ne₁₀ = [He] 2s² 2p⁶

All these elements present in same period having same electronic shell and number of electron increased by 1.

For each of the following reactions, identify the missing reactant(s) or products(s) and then balance the resulting equation. No
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

A. The reactants are= Li and O2

The balanced equation is:

4Li + O2 —> 2Li2O

B. The products are: MgCl2 and O2

The balanced equation is:

Mg(ClO3)2 —> MgCl2 + 3O2

C. The products are: Ca(NO3)2 and H2O

The balanced equation is:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 +

2H2O

D. The products are: CO2 and H2O

The balanced equation is:

C5H12 + 8O2 —> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Explanation:

A. ____ —> Li2O

The reactants are Li and O2. Thus the equation is given below:

Li + O2 —> Li2O

Thus the equation is balanced as follow:

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of Li2O as shown below:

Li + O2 —> 2Li2O

Now, we have 4 atoms of Li on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of Li as shown below:

4Li + O2 —> 2Li2O

Now the equation is balanced

B. Mg(ClO3)2 —> __

The products are MgCl2 and O2

The equation is given below:

Mg(ClO3)2 —> MgCl2 + O2

The equation can be balance as follow:

There are 6 atoms of O on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

Mg(ClO3)2 —> MgCl2 + 3O2

Now the equation is balanced

C. HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —>___

The products are: Ca(NO3)2 and H2O

The equation is given below:

HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

The equation is balanced as follow:

There are 2 atoms of NO3 on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HNO3 as shown below:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

There are a total of 4 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of H2O as shown below:

2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 —> Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

Now the equation is balanced

D. C5H12 + O2 —>__

The products are: CO2 and H2O

The equation is given below:

C5H12 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O

The equation can be balance as follow:

There are 5 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C5H12 + O2 —> 5CO2 + H2O

There are 12 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 6 in front of H2O as shown below:

C5H12 + O2 —> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now, there are a total of 16 atoms of O on the right side and 2 atoms on the left. It can be balance by putting 8 in front of O2 as shown below:

C5H12 + 8O2 —> 5CO2 + 6H2O

Now we can see that the equation is balanced.

What cultural differences does Herodotus notice between Greek ways of living and those of Persia and Egypt
Sindrei [870]
<span>The Persian Wars mark an important turning point not only in Greek history but, indeed, in the course of all European civilization. First and foremost, because of its victory Greece was saved from the threat of external rule and could develop on its own. Handed this independence, the Greeks chose to follow a path which forever changed the course of modern life. Without their success in this conflict, they would, no doubt, never have had the liberty, means or conviction to invent, discover or create all they did: not just history but philosophy, science, drama, art, architecture, indeed most of the cornerstones of modern civilization. Another consequence of this victory, less immediate but equally important, was that it prevented the Persians from dominating the lands to the west of Greece—as noted above, it's likely the fertile fields of Italy and Sicily, not the rough dust of Greece, were the real target of Xerxes' imperial designs—and there a tiny settlement called Rome had just begun to sprout, at that moment hardly a dot on the map, but it would later develop into a crucial player in the history of the West. Rome won freedom, too, in the Persian Wars, without ever fielding a single fighter. It's impossible to imagine how vastly different our world would be if Persia had conquered or exterminated the Romans before they'd ever had a chance to grow. Thus, the Greeks laid the groundwork for later Western culture, and Herodotus the foundation for understanding it. If so many of his facts look suspect or even prove incorrect, if he sometimes seems to set speculation and scandal over sober criticism and science, before condemning him we should recall that he founded this entire enterprise called history, a discipline which still bears the name he gave it. His critics should also bear in mind it's only because Herodotus set us on this path that we can even scorn his methods in the first place. To this most uncommon "common man," we owe an enormous collective debt.</span>

According to the following reaction, how many grams of hydrogen
Mila [183]

Answer:

7.03 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced synthesis reaction

N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) ⇒ 2 NH₃(g)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 32.5 g of N₂

The molar mass of N₂ is 28.01 g/mol.

32.5 g × 1 mol/28.01 g = 1.16 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of H₂ needed to react with 1.16 moles of N₂

The molar ratio of N₂ to H₂ is 1:3. The moles of H₂ needed are 3/1 × 1.16 mol = 3.48 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 3.48 moles of H₂

The molar mass of H₂ is 2.02 g/mol.

3.48 mol × 2.02 g/mol = 7.03 g

What salt is produced in each of the following neutralization reactions? HNO3(aq)+KOH(aq)→H2O(l)+? HNO3(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)→H2O(l)+?
Igoryamba

Answer:

1. KNO3

2. Ca(NO3)2

3. CaCl2

4. KCl

Explanation:

In each of the neutralization reactions, the H from one of the reactant(acid) will combine with the OH from the other reactant (base) to form water while the other elements combine to give the salt as shown below:

1. HNO3 + KOH → H2O + KNO3

The salt produced is KNO3

2. 2HNO3 + Ca(OH)2 → 2H2O + Ca(NO3)2

The salt produced is Ca(NO3)2

3. 2HCl +Ca(OH)2 → 2H2O + CaCl2

The salt produced is CaCl2

4. HCl +KOH → H2O + KCl

The salt produced is KCl
