The balanced molecular equation is \boxed{{\text{Al}}\left(s\right)+3{\text{AgN}}{{\text{O}}_3}\left({aq}\right)\to {\text{Al}}{{\left({{\text{N}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}}\right)}_3}\left({aq}\right)+3{\text{Ag}}\left(s\right)}

The balanced net ionic equation is \boxed{{\text{Al}}\left( s\right)+3{\text{A}}{{\text{g}}^+}\left({aq}\right)\to{\text{A}}{{\text{l}}^{3+}}\left({aq}\right)+3{\text{Ag}}\left(s\right)}

The reduction half-cell reaction is \boxed{{\text{Ag}}+{e^-}\to{\text{Ag}}}

The oxidation half-cell reaction is \boxed{{\text{Al}}\to{\text{A}}{{\text{l}}^{3+}}+3{e^-}}

Further Explanation:

The three types of equations that are used to represent the chemical reaction are as follows:

1. Molecular equation

2. Total ionic equation

3. Net ionic equation

The reactants and products remain in undissociated form in the molecular equation. In the case of total ionic equation, all the ions that are dissociated and present in the reaction mixture are represented while in the case of overall or net ionic equation only the useful ions that participate in the reaction are represented.

The steps to write the molecular equation and net ionic reaction are as follows:

Step 1: Write the molecular equation for the reaction with the phases in the bracket.

In the reaction,1 mole of Al reacts with 3 moles of {\text{AgN}}{{\text{O}}_3} to form 1 mole of {\text{Al}}{\left( {{\text{N}}{{\text{O}}_3}} \right)_3} and 3 moles of Ag. The balanced molecular equation of the reaction is as follows:

 {\text{Al}}\left(s\right)+3{\text{AgN}}{{\text{O}}_3}\left( {aq}\right)\to{\text{Al}}{\left( {{\text{N}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}}\right)_3}\left({aq}\right)+3{\text{Ag}}\left(s\right)

Step2: Dissociate all the compounds with the aqueous phase to write the total ionic equation. The compounds with solid and liquid phases remain same. The total ionic equation is as follows:

 {\text{Al}}\left(s\right)+3{\text{A}}{{\text{g}}^+}\left({aq}\right)+{\text{NO}}_3^-\left( {aq}\right)\to{\text{A}}{{\text{l}}^{3+}}\left({aq}\right)+{\text{NO}}_3^-\left({aq}\right)+3{\text{Ag}}\left(s\right)

Step3. The common ions on both sides of the reaction get cancelled out to get the net ionic equation.

{\text{Al}}\left(s\right)+3{\text{A}}{{\text{g}}^+}\left({aq}\right)+\boxed{{\text{NO}}_3^-\left({aq}\right)}\to{\text{A}}{{\text{l}}^{3+}}\left({aq}\right)+\boxed{{\text{NO}}_3^ - \left({aq}\right)}+3{\text{Ag}}\left(s\right)

Therefore, the net ionic equation is as follows:

{\text{Al}}\left(s\right)+3{\text{A}}{{\text{g}}^+}\left({aq}\right)\to{\text{A}}{{\text{l}}^{3 + }}\left({aq}\right)+3{\text{Ag}}\left(s\right)

<u>Redox reaction: </u>

It is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed. In this reaction, both reduction and oxidation are carried out at the same time. Such reactions are characterized by the transfer of electrons between the species involved in the reaction.

The process of <em>gain</em> <em>of electrons</em> or the decrease in the oxidation state of the atom is called <em>reduction</em> while that of <em>loss of electrons</em> or the increase in the oxidation number is known as <em>oxidation</em>. In redox reactions, one species lose electrons and the other species gain electrons. The species that lose electrons and itself gets oxidized is called as a reductant or reducing agent. The species that gains electrons and gets reduced is known as an oxidant or oxidizing agent. The presence of a redox pair or redox couple is a must for the redox reaction.

The general representation of a redox reaction is,

{\text{X}}+{\text{Y}}\to{{\text{X}}^+}+{{\text{Y}}^-}

The oxidation half-reaction can be written as:

{\text{X}}\to{{\text{X}}^+}+{e^-}

The reduction half-reaction can be written as:

{\text{Y}}+{e^-}\to{{\text{Y}}^-}

Here, X is getting oxidized and its oxidation state changes from  to +1 whereas B is getting reduced and its oxidation state changes from 0 to -1. Hence, X acts as the reducing agent whereas Y is an oxidizing agent.

Ag in silver nitrate forms solid silver during the reaction so it is getting reduced. The reduction half-cell reaction is as follows:

{\text{Ag}}+{e^-}\to{\text{Ag}}

Aluminium gets converted to {\text{A}}{{\text{l}}^{3+}} by oxidizing itself. The oxidation half-cell reaction is as follows:

{\text{Al}}\to{\text{A}}{{\text{l}}^{3+}}+3{e^-}

Well in this case, silver nitrate is reduced:

Ag<span>+  </span><span>+  </span>e<span>−  </span>→ Ag(s) ↓

 

Meanwhile, the aluminum is oxidized forming a positive ion:

Al(s<span>)  →  </span>Al<span>3+  </span><span>+  3</span>e−

 

To get the overall reaction,  we add the half equations so that the electrons are eliminated:

Al(s<span>)  +   3</span>Ag<span>+  </span><span>→  </span>Al<span>3+  </span><span>+  3</span>Ag(s)

 

And similarly:

Al(s<span>)  +  3</span>AgNO3(aq<span>)  →  </span>Al(NO3)3(aq<span>)  +  3</span>Ag(s<span>)</span>

Can someone please explain this to me? I need help ​
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The order would be: X-Rays, Visible Light, and Infrared Waves.

X-Rays have the shortest wavelength out of all three, then Visible Light, and Infrared Waves have the longest wavelength of the three.

Explanation:

So basically, the LONGER the wavelength, the lower the energy. and the SHORTER the wavelength, the higher the energy. For example, Radio waves are the WEAKEST out of all the types of waves because they have the LONGEST wavelengths. Gamma Rays are the STRONGEST out of all the types of waves because they have the SHORTEST wavelengths. So Radio Waves have the lowest energy, and Gamma Rays have the highest energy.

Here is a list of all the types of waves in order from shortest wavelength to longest wavelengths:

Gamma Rays (Shortest Wavelengths, High Energy), then X-Rays would be the second strongest, then Ultraviolet waves, then Visible Light, then Infrared waves, then Microwaves, and lastly Radio Waves (Longest Wavelengths, Low Energy).

When chemical, transport, or mechanical work is done by an organism, what happens to the heat generated?
dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

The heat generated when chemical, transport, or mechanical work is done by the organism is lost to the environment.

The the matter from one organism to the other is transferred via energy. The producer's produce and consumer's consume this energy according to 10% law. Most of the energy is lost (90% ) to the environment in form of heat.
