Answer:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Explanation:
Let us consider the complete redox reaction:
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2
And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.
Therefore, for this reaction;
Oxidation Half equation is:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Reduction Half equation is:
2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
298.15 K
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
W e are supposed to calculate the Value of K at 25°C
Assuming the value of K represent K, the question wants us to convert degree Celsius to Kelvin.
- To convert degrees Celsius to kelvin scale, we use the relationship;
- Kelvin (K) = Degrees Celsius + 273.15 ; 273.5 is a constant
- That is, to convert temperature from °C to Kelvin we add a constant of 273.15 to the °C given.
In this case;
Temperature is 273.15 °c
Thus, to Kelvin scale temperature will be;
= 25°C + 273.15
= 298.15 K
Therefore, the value of K, at 25°C is 298.15 K
19. The atomic number is the same as protons and electrons unless it have a - or a + charge the electrons are going to change
Answer:
Neutral atoms can be turned into positively charged ions by removing one or more electrons. ... Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged. A neutral chlorine atom, for example, contains 17 protons and 17 electrons. By adding one more electron we get a negatively charged Cl- ion with a net charge of -1.
The size of most eukaryotic animal cells range from 1 - 30 micrometers while the size of, let's say coccus bacteria is between 0.5 - 1.0 micrometers. So, if the largest animal cell is filled with the largest coccus bacteria, we can say that 30 bacteria can fit inside.
