Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

(a) The balanced chemical reaction will be:

K+H_2O\rightarrow KOH+H_2

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : K\rightarrow K^++1e^-

Reduction : 2H^++2e^-\rightarrow H_2

In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'K' changes from (0) to (+1) that means 'K' lost 1 electron and it shows oxidation and the oxidation state of 'H' changes from (+1) to (0) that means 'H' gains 1 electron and it shows reduction.

In this reaction, potassium is the oxidizing atom that has the highest oxidation state is (+1).

(b) The balanced chemical reaction will be:

Ba+2HBr\rightarrow BaBr_2+H_2

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : Ba\rightarrow Ba^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction : 2H^++2e^-\rightarrow H_2

In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'Ba' changes from (0) to (+2) that means 'Ba' lost 2 electrons and it shows oxidation and the oxidation state of 'H' changes from (+1) to (0) that means 'H' gains 1 electron and it shows reduction.

In this reaction, barium is the oxidizing atom that has the highest oxidation state is (+2).

(c) The balanced chemical reaction will be:

Sn+I_2\rightarrow SnI_2

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : Sn\rightarrow Sn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction : I_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2I^-

In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'Sn' changes from (0) to (+2) that means 'Sn' lost 2 electron and it shows oxidation and the oxidation state of 'I' changes from (0) to (-1) that means 'I' gains 1 electron and it shows reduction.

In this reaction, tin is the oxidizing atom that has the highest oxidation state is (+2).

The equation for carbon-14 emission by Radium-223 nuclei is given below:

^{223}_{88}Ra \rightarrow\: ^{209}_{82}Pb + \:^{14}_{6}C

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

Radioactivity is the spontaneous decay of a substance with emission of radiation.

The equation for carbon-14 emission by Radium-223 nuclei is given below:

^{223}_{88}Ra \rightarrow\: ^{209}_{82}Pb + \:^{14}_{6}C

In conclusion, the emission of carbon-14 by Radium-223 nuclei produces Lead-209 nuclei.

If a neutral compound is composed of carbon and hydrogen and you know that it has exactly 2 carbons connected by a double bond,
Oksanka [162]

Answer: 4 hydrogens

Explanation:

This is what the structure will look like C=C. Remember that it's important that all structures have a complete octet. As it looks right now each carbon is sharing 4 valence electrons so each needs 2 more bonds to hydrogen complete its octet.
