Which nonmetal has the greatest potential to be oxidized

Chemistry
1 answer:
Tasya [4]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Hydrogen

Explanation:

A reducing agent is a substance which gives up its electrons to become oxidized. Generally, metals are oxidized (reducing agents) while non-metals are reduced (oxidizing agents).

However, hydrogen which is a non-metal is usually oxidized in the presence of stronger oxidizing non-metals such as fluorine and oxygen.

Hydrogen thus, acts as a reducing agent by giving up its electrons to become oxidized. Even though among all non-metals, Hydrogen has the greatest potential to be oxidized, it is a poor reducing agent compared to reactive metals.

When the surface water temperature is still well below the water boiling temperature, some bubbles at the bottom tend to float u
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The reasons why the seemingly floating bubbles disappear was that they tend to loss their latent heat to the water molecules at the surface water.

Explanation:

Heat energy has a considerable effect on the velocity of molecules including water. The water molecules below the container will receive much more heat energy than those above it. This heat energy in the form of specific heat capacity and latent heat that result in the increase in the speed of individual molecules of water and finally to the escape of the molecules to a colder region of the container, in this case the upper region. At the collision of the bottom water to the surface water, they tend to exchange their heat content, the hotter molecules will lose their heat to the cold ones. When the formerly hot molecules encounter this, it will result in lowering the temperature and consequentially to the reduction of their movement, once in the form of bubble, now become ordinary water. This convectional transfer of heat energy will continue until the whole system has a uniform temperature depending on the consistency of the heat source.

A study of the decomposition reaction 3RS2  3R + 6S yields the following initial rate dat
shutvik [7]
Missing question: What is the rate constant for the reaction?
<span>[RS2](mol L-1) Rate (mol/(L·s))
0.150                0.0394
0.250                0.109
0.350                0.214
0.500                0.438</span>
Chemical reaction: 3RS₂ → 3R + 6S.
Compare second and fourth experiment, when concentration is doubled, rate of concentration is increaced by four. So rate is:
rate = k·[RS₂]².
k = 0,438 ÷ (0,500)².
k = 1,75 L/mol·s.
