<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.

The indicator methyl red has different molecular structures at high and low pH.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Methyl red is an indicator widely used in quality control of oxides as Zinc oxide in the titration with sulfuric acid.

As is used in titrations of acid-base reactions the indicator change in colour. Is red when the pH < 4.4 (Acidic Solutions) and is yellow when pH > 6.2 (Neutral-Basic solutions).

A change in colour means the structure of the indicator is changing with pH. Thus, the answer is:

<h3>a. True </h3>

Determine if these molecules and ion are polar.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

a. Polar

b. Polar

c. Non-polar

d. Non-polar

Explanation:

a. H_3O^+, hydronium cation contains a positive charge. Just as any other ion, it is polar, as it has a net charge.

b. H_2S has the same shape as water. There are two lone pairs on sulfur atom which produce an overall dipole moment in this molecule, the bent structure is polar.

c. PCl_5 is non-polar, as the central atom, phosphorus, doesn't contain any lone pairs, all the dipole moments cancel out: two dipole moments in the vertical plane, P-Cl, and three P-Cl dipoles in the horizontal plane within a trigonal bipyramidal shape.

d. CF_4 is non-polar, since it's a tetrahedral molecule with no lone pairs on carbon atom, all four C-F dipole moments cancel out to yield a net 0 dipole moment.

PLEASE HELP!! (I will mark brainiest) (REAL ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!)
Inessa [10]

The phosphate group of one nucleotide bonds covalently with the sugar molecule of the next nucleotide, and so on, forming a long polymer of nucleotide monomers. The sugar–phosphate groups line up in a “backbone” for each single strand of DNA, and the nucleotide bases stick out from this backbone. The carbon atoms of the five-carbon sugar are numbered clockwise from the oxygen as 1′, 2′, 3′, 4′, and 5′ (1′ is read as “one prime”). The phosphate group is attached to the 5′ carbon of one nucleotide and the 3′ carbon of the next nucleotide. In its natural state, each DNA molecule is actually composed of two single strands held together along their length with hydrogen bonds between the bases.

The increasing concentration of a chemical as it moves through the links in a food chain is called ________.
algol13

Answer: Biological Magnification

Explanation:

Organisms acquire toxic substance from the environment along with nutrients and water. Some of the toxins are metabolized and excreted, but others accumulate in specific tissues, especially fat. One of the reasons accumulated toxins are particularly harmful is that the become more concentrated in successive trophic level of the food web, this is the process of biological magnification.

Magnification occurs because the biomass at any given level is produced from a must larger biomass ingested from the level below. Thus the top-level carnivores tend to be the organism most severely affected by toxic compounds in the environment.

Examples of toxins that demonstrate biology magnification are chlorinated hydrocarbons, and many pesticides.
