The  electron  gain  for iron means  that it   is reduced  (answer C)


Explanation

 Redox    reaction  is  made up of two halves.

That  is a   reduction  half and a  oxidization  half.

In the   reduction   half   electrons are  gained  which result  to  decrease  in oxidation number.

In  the Oxidization  half   electrons are  lost which result  to  increase  in  oxidation  number.

iron    is therefore   reduced  since  it gains  electrons

Read the following passage.
Archy [21]

Answer is: the discovery of sub atomic particles like electrons.

J. J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897.  

His "plum pudding" model (1904) suggested: the electrons are embedded in the positive charge.  

With this model, he abandoned his earlier hypothesis (the atom was composed of immaterial vortices).  

J.J. Thomson placed two oppositely charged electric plates around the cathode ray. He did experiments using different metals as electrode materials and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material he used.

Tomson concluded that atoms are divisible and that the corpuscles are their building blocks (atoms are made up of smaller particles).

Complete the following radioactive decay problem.<br>222 86 RN to 4 2 HE + ?​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Explanation:

The given nuclear reaction shows alpha decay.

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Properties of alpha radiations:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

A student carefully pipets 10.00ml of ethanol into a beaker. If ethanol has a density of 0.779g/ml, how many grams of ethanol we
lesantik [10]

Answer: 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of ethanol, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Density of ethanol = 0.779 g/mL

Volume of water = 10.00 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.779g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{10.00mL}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.779g/mL\times 10.00mL)=7.79g

Thus 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.

When one atom of carbon reacts with two atoms of oxygen, they combine to form one molecule of carbon dioxide. How many atoms of
tankabanditka [31]

The equation is: C+O2=>CO2

Since we got 10 molecules of CO2 new balanced equation would be 10C+10O2=>10CO2

from this equation we can see that we have 10 molecules of oxygen, however ,we need to find atoms. There are 2 atoms in the oxygen molecule so we need to multiply 10 by 2 which gives us 20 atoms.

The answer: there are 20 atoms of oxygen
