Answer: The percentage composition of nitrogen , hydrogen and oxygen is 22.2 % , 1.59 % and 76.2% respectively.

Explanation:

Percentage composition is defined as the ratio of mass of substance to the total mass in terms of percentage.

Percentage composition=\frac{\text {mass of the element}}{\text {Total mass of the substance}}\times 100\%

a) {\text {percentage composition of nitrogen}}=\frac{\text {mass of nitrogen}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\%

{\text {percentage composition of nitrogen}}=\frac{9.8g}{9.8+0.7+33.6}\times 100\%=22.2\%

b) {\text {percentage composition of hydrogen}}=\frac{\text {mass of hydrogen}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\%

{\text {percentage composition of hydrogen}}=\frac{0.7}{9.8+0.7+33.6}\times 100\%=1.59\%

c) {\text {percentage composition of oxygen}}=\frac{\text {mass of oxygen}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\%

{\text {percentage composition of oxygen}}=\frac{33.6}{9.8+0.7+33.6}\times 100\%=76.2\%

The percentage composition of nitrogen , hydrogen and oxygen is 22.2 % , 1.59 % and 76.2% respectively.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer : O_2 is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

Explanation :

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The balanced redox reaction is :

4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction : Fe\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3e^-

Reduction reaction : O_2+4e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 4 and reduction reaction by 3 then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation reaction : 4Fe\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+12e^-

Reduction reaction : 3O_2+12e^-\rightarrow 6O^{2-}

4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

In this reaction, 'Fe' is the reducing agent that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets oxidized and 'O_2' is the oxidizing agent that gain an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets reduced.

Thus, O_2 is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

A student made a copper bracelet by hammering a small copper bar into the desired shape. The bracelet has a mass of 30.1 grams a
Tcecarenko [31]
69. The student's skin was obviously warmer than the initial temperature of the bracelet. According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat transfers from a higher temperature to a lower temperature hence heat transfers from the student's skin to the bracelet warming up the bracelet. 

70. moles of copper=mass of copper/molar mass of copper
=30.1g/(63.55g/mol)= 0.4736 moles Cu

71. Delta H( heat released) = mCp(deltaT) = 30.1g(0.385 J/gK)(33-19)K = 162.23J

72. Copper is chemically less active than iron.

How are animal-like and plant-like protists are similar and different?​
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The main way animal-like protists differ from plant-like protists is in the way they get energy. Animal-like protists are heterotrophs. They have to eat other protists or bacteria in order to get energy, much as animals have to eat plants or other animals to get their energy. Plant-like protists, on the other hand, are autotrophs. They can make their own energy from the sun or other sources just as plants can.

hope that helps ☺️
