2O2 IS THE OXIDIZING AGENT BECAUSE IT GIVES ALL OTHER ELEMENT OXYGEN
WARRIOR [948]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Oxygen gas (O₂)

Explanation:

Oxidizing agent is one which its self gets reduced and oxidizes the other.

Oxidation is the process where the oxidation number of substance increases while in reduction the oxidation number decreases.

The oxidation number of hydrogen in both methane and water is "+1"

Oxidation number of carbon in methane is "-4"

While its oxidation number in carbondioxide is "+4"

Thus carbon is undergoing oxidation.

While the change in oxidation number of oxygen from O₂ to CO₂ is "0" to -2

Hence it is undergoing reduction and oxidizing carbon.

What is the pH of a solution that has a hydrogen ion concentration of 1.0 * 10 -9 M? Show your calculation.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

9.00  

Explanation:

Data:

[H⁺] = 1.0 × 10⁻⁹ mol·L⁻¹

Calculation:

pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(1.0 × 10⁻⁹) = -log(1.0) - log(10⁻⁹) = -0.00 - (-9) = -0.00 + 9 = 9.00

If the half-life of hydrogen-3 is 11.8 years, after two half-lives the radioactivity of a sample will be reduced to one-half of
maw [93]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Half life is the time period at which the concentration of the radioactive substance in decay reduced to half.

<u>Thus, if the hydrogen-3 has gone 2 half lives, it means that it has first reduced to its half and then again the half of what it was, i.e. 1/4</u>

Thus, after two successive half-lives, the concentration must be 1/4 of the initial concentration and hence, the statement is false.
