In caves, dripping groundwater containing calcium bicarbonate can form stalactites and stalagmites. When the water is exposed to

air, some of the calcium bicarbonate turns into calcium carbonate, which gets deposited on the ground. What makes this process a chemical change?

The bicarbonate turning into carbonate makes this a chemical change. This is reducing the atom into a new chemical.

Consider the redox reaction below.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Explanation:

Let us consider the complete redox reaction:

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.

  • Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
  • Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
  • An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.

Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2

And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.

Therefore, for this reaction;

Oxidation Half equation is:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Reduction Half equation is:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)

How does mass affect potential energy?
Andreyy89

What i would say: The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has depends on its height and mass. The heavier the object and the higher it is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds. Gravitational potential energy increases as weight and height increases.

Hope this helps! :)

Calculate the oxidation state of the underlined elements of K2 Cr2 O7
Semenov [28]

Answer:

+4

Explanation:

In PbO2, oxygen exhibits an oxidation number of -2 (since it's not a peroxide or superoxide):

Let the oxidation number of Pb be x. Then, for the compound to be neutral, the oxidation numbers of all atoms should add up to zero.

⇒ x + (−2) + (−2) = 0

x = +4

So the oxidation no. of Pb is +4.

I hope this helps.
