F. <em>None of the above </em>

<em>No O atoms are present</em> as reacting substances, only O_2 and H_2O molecules.

O_2 + 2H_2O + 2e^(-) → 4OH^(-)

We must use <em>oxidation numbers</em> to decide whether oxygen or water is the substance reduced.

The oxidation number of O changes from 0 in O_2 to -2 in OH^(-).

A decrease in oxidation number is <em>reduction</em>, so O_2 is the substance  reduced.

The oxidation number of O is -2 in both H_2O and OH^(-), so water is <em>neither oxidized nor reduced</em>.

Answer:

Limestone caves are formed when acid rain occurs.

Explanation:

When chalk pieces which is made of calcium carbonate react with acetic acid, it produces carbon dioxide, calcium acetate, and water. When calcium carbonate react with Carbonated Water produces calcium bicarbonate. Limestone cave forms when the dissolution of limestone occur when rainwater which is acidic due to the addition of carbondioxide in the air react with limestone. This dissolution removes the lime from the rock and caves are formed.

What happens to the ionizing rate if the steps of ionizing polyprotic acid increases?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

<h3>An acid that contains more than one ionizable proton is a polyprotic acid. The protons of these acids ionize in steps. The differences in the acid ionization constants for the successive ionizations of the protons in a polyprotic acid usually vary by roughly five orders of magnitude.</h3>

Why is it important to use scientific notation when talking about our solar system<br> and galaxies?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The main purpose for converting numbers into scientific notation is to make calculations with surpisingly large or small numbers less complicated. Since zeros are not used to place the decimal point, all of the digits in a number in scientific notation are meaningful and easier to read. Hope this helps!

How many molecules are in 145.5 grams of Be(OH)2
Zanzabum

Answer:

2.04 x 10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Be(OH)₂ = 145.5g

To calculate the number of molecules in this mass of Be(OH)₂ we follow the following steps:

>> Calculate the number of moles first using the formula below:

Number of moles = mass/molarmass

Since we have been given the mass, let us derive the molar mass of Be(OH)₂

Atomic mass of Be = 9g

O = 16g

H = 1g

Molar Mass = 9 + 2(16 + 1)

= 9 + 34

= 43g/mol

Number of moles = 145.5/43 = 3.38mol

>>> We know that a mole is the amount of substance that contains Avogadro’s number of particles. The particles can be atoms, molecules, particles etc. Therefore we use the expression below to determine the number of molecules in 3.38mol of Be(OH)₂:

Number of

molecules= number of moles x 6.02 x 10²³

Number of molecules= 3.38 x 6.02 x 10²³

= 20.37 x 10²³ molecules

= 2.04 x 10²⁴ molecules
