Why is it safer to live in the middle of a plate instead of near a plate boundary?

Because when you live in the middle of one, you have less rocking and less moving of the earth under you. If you were to live near a plate, the plate would move up, down, or side to side and make your house or any building move up and down.

Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following reactions: (i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l
shusha [124]

Answer:

(i)  Oxidizing Agent: NO2 / Reducing Agent NH3-

(ii) Oxidizing Agent AgNO3 / Reducing Agent Zn

Explanation:

(i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l)

In this reaction, both two reactants contain nitrogen with a different oxidation number and produce only one product which contains nitrogen with a unique oxidation state. So, nitrogen is oxidized and reduced in the same reaction.

Nitrogen Undergoes a change in oxidation state from 4+ in NO2 to 0 in N2. It is reduced because it gains electrons (decrease its oxidation state). NO2 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor).

Nitrogen Changes from an oxidation state of 3- in NH3 to 0 in N2. It is oxidized because it loses electrons (increase its oxidation state). NH3 is the reducing agent (electron donor)

(ii) Zn(s) +AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

Ag changes oxidation state from 1+ to 0 in Ag(s).

Ag is reduced because it gains electrons and for this reason and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor)

Zn Changes from an oxidation state of 0 in Zn(s) to 2+ in Zn(NO3)2. It is oxidized and for this reason Zn is the reducing agent (electron donor).

Balanced equation:

Zn(s) +2AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

(a) 4.12 x 10^15 atoms U
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

1.63ₓ10⁻⁶ g of U

139.03 g of H

0.385 g of O

141.8 g of Pb

Explanation:

In first place, we need to convert the number of atoms to moles, as we know that 1 mol of anything occupies 6.02×10²³ particles

Therefore:

4.12×10¹⁵ atoms of U . 1 mol / 6.02×10²³ atoms = 6.84×10⁻⁹ moles of U

8.37×10²⁵ atoms of H . 1 mol /6.02×10²³ atoms = 139.03 moles of H

1.45×10²² atoms of O . 1 mol /6.02×10²³ atoms = 0.0241 moles of O

4.12×10²³ atoms of Pb . 1 mol /6.02×10²³ atoms = 0.684 moles of Pb

Moles . Molar mass = Mass (g)

6.84×10⁻⁹ moles of U . 238.03 g/mol = 1.63ₓ10⁻⁶ g of U

139.03 moles of H . 1 g/mol = 139.03 g of H

0.0241 moles of O . 16 g/mol = 0.385 g of O

0.684 moles of Pb . 207.2 g/mol = 141.8 g of Pb

An experiment applies heat to a substance and produces a gas that is a new and different substance. Choose the true statement.
sergejj [24]
Im a bit torn here, lets look at the definitions of physical and chemical changes:
physical change changes only the phase/state of a substance, but not what the substance is
chemical change is a chemical reaction where a new substance is formed and energy is given off or absorbed.
(it just started raining and it smells really nice out my window)

clearly, this cannot be just a physical reaction. i think i would be inclined to pick B. but C. could have merit as an answer too. sorry for the ambiguity x
