<span>Agre tested his hypothesis in a simple experiment where he compared cells which contained the protein in question with cells which did not have it. The trials were ran with artificial cells, liposomes, which are a type of soap bubble. He found that the liposomes became permeable if the protein was planted inside of the membrane.</span>

Write a balanced half-reaction describing the reduction of aqueous vanadium(V) cations to aqueous vanadium(I) cations.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Explanation:

Reduction is a chemical reaction in which electrons are gained by one of the atoms taking part in the reaction and lowering of an oxidation state of that atom.

Reduction takes place at the cathode.

In aqueous, vanadium(V) is present in +5 oxidation state which on reduction changes to vanadium(I) with +1 oxidation state.

The half reaction is :

$V^{5+}(aq)+4e^- \rightarrow V^{1+}(aq)$

1. 3.311 * 10^24 particles=_______________moles? 2. 126 grams of H2O =______________________moles of moles? whats the answers

Vladimir [108]

1. You can use Avogadro’s number, 6.022x10^23 atoms/mole, to answer this one.

(3.311x10^24/6.022x10^23) = 5.498 moles of substance

2. H2O has a formula weight approximately equal to 18 grams. Dividing the given amount by the formula weight of water will tell us the number of moles present.

126/18 = 7 moles H2O
