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

Consider the reaction H2(g) + I2(g) Double headed arrow. HI(g) with an equilibrium constant of 46.3 and a reaction quotient of 5
Alika [10]

Answer:

The reaction shifts to the left.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant (K) = 46.3

Reaction Quotient (Q) = 525

The relationship between Q and K with their implications are given as;

K = Q (No net reaction)

K > Q (Reaction shifts to the right)

K < Q (Reaction shifts to the left)

Since in this question, Q (525) > K (46.3)

The reaction shifts to the left.

A substance is found to consist of 1.900g of silver, 0.250g of nitrogen, and 0.850g of oxygen. what is the percent by mass of ox
Galina-37 [17]
The  percentage  by mass  of  oxygen  in  the  compound

find  the total  mass=(  1.900+  0250 +0.850) =  3
the  percentage  mass  mass of  oxgyen/total  mass  x100

that  is  (0.850/3)  x100=28.33%

explain how a metal with one valence electron compares with a metal with more than one valence electron
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

A metal with one valence electron is highly reactive compared to those with more than one electron.

Atoms including those of metals reacts in order attain a stable electronic configuration just like those of noble gases.

An atom with one valence electron have just one electron in its valence shell.

  • Metals generally have large sizes.
  • when the electron in this shell is lost, the metal atom can then attain stability.
  • therefore, such atom will quickly want to combine with any other willing to accept the electron so that they can be stable.
  • Those with more than one electron will find it difficult to lose them.
  • It requires huge energy to remove such electrons compared to the ones with only one valence electron.
