Answer:

2 Cl + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻

Explanation:

<em>Which equation describes a reduction?</em>

  • <em>Mg(s) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻.</em> NO. This is an oxidation because Mg loses electrons and its oxidation number increases from 0 to 2.
  • <em>2 Cl + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻.</em> YES. This is a reduction because Cl gains electrons and its oxidation number decreases from 0 to 1-.
  • <em>Na(s) → Na⁺(aq) + e⁻.</em> NO. This is an oxidation because Na loses electrons and its oxidation number increases from 0 to 1.
  • <em>Al(s) → Al³⁺(aq) + 3 e⁻.</em> NO. This is an oxidation because Al loses electrons and its oxidation number increases from 0 to 3.

Radioactive gold-198 is used in the diagnosis of liver problems. the half-life of this isotope is 2.7 days. if you begin with a
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to use the expression of half life decay of concentration (or mass) which is the following:

m = m₀e^-kt  (1)

In this case, k will be the constant rate of this element. This is calculated using the following expression:

k = ln2/t₁/₂  (2)

Let's calculate the value of k first:

k = ln2/2.7 = 0.2567 d⁻¹

Now, we can use the expression (1) to calculate the remaining mass:

m = 8.1 * e^(-0.2567 * 2.6)

m = 8.1 * e^(-0.6674)

m = 8.1 * 0.51303

m = 4.16 mg remaining

Consider 100.0-g samples of two different compounds consisting only of carbon and oxygen. one compound contains 27.2 g of carbon
Sliva [168]

This is a tricky question. All that matters are ratios of percentages, not percentages themselves. So no one should directly compare 27.2 with 42.9. We must and shall compare the ratios (27.2 to 72.8) and (42.9 to 57.1).

Take them both down to 1 to and see what happens.

Working out the formulas knowing atomic masses is a bit beside the point; this is how people first DISCOVERED the idea of atomic mass.

A

Carbon Oxygen

27.2g 72.8g (100-27.2)

Moles 27.2/12 72.8/16

2.27 4.55

Ratio 1 2

Do the same with the other

How does ionic radii increase
nalin [4]

<>"One such trend is closely linked to atomic radii -- ionic radii. Neutral atoms tend to increase in size down a group and decrease across a period. When a neutral atom gains or loses an electron, creating an anion or cation, the atom's radius increases or decreases, respectively."<>
