Answer: Redox reaction/displacement reaction

Explanation:

Zn + 2AgNO3----------> Zn(NO3)2+ 2Ag

Let us consider the change in oxidation number from left to right

Oxidation number of zinc changed from 0 to +2

Oxidation number of silver changed from +1 to 0

Zinc was oxidized while silver was reduced. This shows a redox process

Also Zinc displaced silver because silver is below zinc in the a electrochemical series of metals. That is, the electrode potential of zinc is more negative than that of silver hence it can displace silver from its salt.

2AgNO3  +  Zn  -->  Zn(NO3)2  +  2Ag
Its a redox reaction, Zn is oxidised (0 --> 2+), Ag is reduced (1+ --> 0)

Through an uplift under the earth crust at a dirvergent boundary a _____ is formed.
postnew [5]

<span>Out of the  following given choices;</span>

<span>a. cliff               b. fault </span>

<span>c. plateau          d. mountain</span>

<span>The answer is b.  A divergent boundary is a line at which two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. It is caused by the two magma convection currents in the mantle moving in opposing directions (one clockwise, the other anti-clockwise) hence dragging the crust with them. Therefore the biggest force at the boundary on the crust is that of pulling. This causes <span>fractures and faults on the earth’s crust.</span></span>

Explain where you would find the three different types of muscles (cardiac, smooth and skeletal) and how these different types o
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation: Skeletal muscle, attached to bones, is responsible for skeletal movements. The peripheral portion of the central nervous system (CNS) controls the skeletal muscles. Thus, these muscles are under conscious, or voluntary, control. The basic unit is the muscle fiber with many nuclei. These muscle fibers are striated (having transverse streaks) and each acts independently of neighboring muscle fibers.

Assume that you have a cylinder with a movable piston. What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the f
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

A. The pressure will increase 4 times. P₂ = 4 P₁

B. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁

C. The pressure will decrease to half its value. P₂ = 0.5 P₁

Explanation:

Initially, we have n₁ moles of a gas that occupy a volume V₁ at temperature T₁ and pressure P₁.

<em>What would happen to the gas pressure inside the cylinder if you do the following?</em>

<em />

<em>Part A: Decrease the volume to one-fourth the original volume while holding the temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

V₂ = 0.25 V₁. According to Boyle's law,

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . 0.25 V₁

P₁ = P₂ . 0.25

P₂ = 4 P₁

<em>Part B: Reduce the Kelvin temperature to half its original value while holding the volume constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

T₂ = 0.5 T₁. According to Gay-Lussac's law,

\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}}{0.5T_{1}}\\\\P_{2}=0.5P_{1}

<em>Part C: Reduce the amount of gas to half while keeping the volume and temperature constant. Express your answer in terms of the variable P initial.</em>

n₂ = 0.5 n₁.

P₁ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:

P_{1}=\frac{n_{1}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}

P₂ in terms of the ideal gas equation is:

P_{2}=\frac{n_{2}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{0.5n_{1}.R.T_{1}}{V_{1}}=0.5P_{1}

What is the difference between cell and cellmembrane​
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

So, a cell, in easiest terms, is "the building blocks of life". Without cells, humans, plants, animals, and anything else that has a cell would not be able to survive. Cells are extremely important to our bodies. Whereas a Cell Membrane is an organelle inside a cell. The Cell Membrane's job is to provide protection for the cell, as well as deciding which substances can enter and exit the cell.

I hope this helps!

Which is the most likely to be reduced?
NISA [10]

Answer : The correct option is, Zn^{2+}

Explanation :

  • Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. That means, the loss of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, oxidation reaction occurs when a reactant losses electrons in the reaction.

  • Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. That means, the gain of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, reduction reaction occurs when a reactant gains electrons in the reaction.

According to the electrochemical series, Zn^{2+} most likely to be reduced because

Hence, the ion most likely to be reduced is Zn^{2+}.
