In a redox reaction, why does an element's oxidation number increase

Chemistry

Kazeer [188]3 years ago
5 0
If the element is oxidized, then it's oxidation number would increase.

Let's say we have the following reaction.
2H2O --> O2 + 2H2

To the left, the oxidation number of O is -2, as it is bonded to two H, which is always H+. To the right, we have O2, and all gases have a oxidation number of 0 (zero). We say that O has been oxidized.

A)The lower the greenhouse gases, the higher the ocean temperature.
HACTEHA [7]

The higher the greenhouse gases, the higher the ocean temperature

"The ocean absorbs most of the excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions, leading to rising ocean temperatures"

hope this helps :)

A reaction in the laboratory yields 5.98 g KAI(SO2)2, How many moles of potassium aluminum
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

0.0308 mol

Explanation:

In order to convert from grams of any given substance to moles, we need to use its molar mass:

  • Molar mass of KAI(SO₂)₂ = MM of K + MM of Al + (MM of S + 2*MM of O)*2
  • Molar mass of KAI(SO₂)₂ = 194 g/mol

Now we <u>calculate the number of moles of KAI(SO₂)₂ contained in 5.98 g</u>:

  • 5.98 g ÷ 194 g/mol = 0.0308 mol

A monatomic ideal gas expands slowly to twice its original volume, doing 340 JJ of work in the process. Part APart complete Find
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

A) if the system is isothermal then all the heat added to the system will be used to do work (since none is used to raise the temperature of the gas). The heat added will be equal to the work done = 340 J

B) change in internal energy of the system of the process is isothermal will be zero, since there is no rise in temperature.

C) an adiabatic process is one involving no heat loss or gain through the system, Therefore heat gain will be zero

D) if the process is adiabatic then there is no heat loss or gain through the system and hence there is no change in temperature. Change in internal energy will be zero

E) if the process is isobaric then, there is no work done and the total heat to the system is equal zero

F) if there is no work done, and no heat added, then the internal energy will be equal zero.

Iron has density 7.87 g/cm^3. if 52.4 g of iron is added to 75.0 mL of water in a graduated cylinder, to what volume reading wil
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

6.66 mL

Explanation:

The increase in the volume is due to the addition of the iron whose volume can be calculated as:

Using,

Density = Mass / Volume

Given that:

Density of Iron = 7.87 g/cm³

Mass of iron = 52.4 g

Thus, volume is:

Volume = Mass / Density = 52.4 / 7.87 cm³ = 6.66 cm³

Also, 1 cm³ = 1 mL

<u>The rise in the volume = 6.66 mL</u>
