What is being oxidized?

1 answer:

6 0

An example of something oxidizing is iron turning into iron oxide, or rust. This reaction is very slow, but you know something has iron in it if it rusts. Also, bonus fact, you won't get tetanus if you touch a rusty nail. The rust has to enter the bloodstream for that to happen.

How many

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

8 neutrons

A is the number of neutrons plus protons in the nucleus. However, we already know that there are 7 protons. Therefore, there must be 8 neutrons in the nucleus to add up to 15. Table 3.

Element Symbol Number of Neutrons

carbon 146C 8

nitrogen 147N 7

157N 8

oxygen 168O 8

What do the Roman numerals in a cation's name indicate?

Agata [3.3K]

The Roman numerals in a cation's name indicate: THE POSITIVE CHARGE ON THE CATION

Cations are metallic atoms that loosely hold it electrons, making it easy to lose electrons.

The Roman numerals in a cation's name not only indicates the charge on the cation but it makes it easier to distinguish cations that share the same metal name.

Consider the intermediate chemical reactions. 2 equations. First: upper C a (s) plus upper C upper O subscript 2 (g) plus one ha

DochEvi [55]

<u>Answer:</u> When the enthalpy of this overall chemical equation is calculated, the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is halved and has its sign changed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The overall chemical reaction follows:

$CaO(s)+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)$ $\Delta H^o_{rxn}=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) $Ca(s)+CO_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)$ $\Delta H_1=-812.8kJ$

(2) $2Ca(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CaO(s)$ $\Delta H_2=-1269kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

$\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times (\Delta H_1)]+[\frac{1}{2}\times (-\Delta H_2)]$

Hence, when the enthalpy of this overall chemical equation is calculated, the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is halved and has its sign changed.

As the pendulum moves from point 2 to point 3, what happens to its mechanical energy?potential energy is converted to kinetic en

ahrayia [7]

Answer: Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and back again.

Explanation:At points 1 and 3, the pendulum stops moving, and its mechanical energy is purely potential. At point 2, the pendulum is moving the fastest, and its mechanical energy is purely kinetic. Therefore, as the pendulum moves from point 1 to point 3, its potential energy is first converted to kinetic energy, then back to potential.
