Chemistry
2 answers:
stellarik [79]3 years ago

Answer:B) a reactant that undergoes reduction

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases during oxidation.

M\rightarrow M^++e^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced during reduction.

N^++e^-\rightarrow N

Overall reaction: M+N^+\rightarrow M^++N

The substance M which itself gets oxidized, reduces other and is called as reducing agent. The substance N which itself gets reduced, oxidizes other and is called as oxidizing agent.

AfilCa [17]

Answer: 2m/s^2

Explanation:

Velocity of skateboard = 20.0 m/s.

Time taken = Ten seconds (10 s)

Acceleration ​= ?

Recall that acceleration is the change in velocity of a body per unit time.

i.e Acceleration = (velocity / Time)

Acceleration = 20.0m/s ➗ 10 s

Acceleration = 2m/s^2

Thus, Jeffrey acceleration was 2m/s^2

Explain why lime is added to lakes. Refer to the problem that exists and what lime does to the lakes.
aalyn [17]

Explanation:

Lime is added to lower the acidity of lakes when pH levels go too low.

Acidic environment is harmful to aquatic ecosystems. Acidity causes some minerals, such as phosphorus and calcium, in the water to become unavailable to aquatic organisms like plants and fishes ( This means the water hardness is reduced). The low nutrients cause stress and death in the aquatic environment lowering biodiversity.  Applying lime raises the pH to neutral levels and improves the health of the aquatic life in the lake. This also improves economic activities in the lake like fishing.

In looking at the bolded atoms in the answer choices, which pair consists of molecules having the same geometry? hints in lookin
Rzqust [24]
Correct Answer: CH2CCI2 and CH2CH2.

Reason:
Structure of compound depends on the hybridization of central atom. In both of the above molecules (i.e. CH2CCL2 and CH2CH2). Central atom i.e. carbon is sp^2 hybridized.  Thus 3 hybridized orbitals of 'C' is involved in sigma bonding. Further, these orbitals are placed spatially at an angle of 120^{0}. The un-hybridized 2pz orbital of 'C' is involved in pi-bonding. Due to this, both of the above molecules possess a triangular planner geometry.

Use the de Broglie's Wave Equation to find the wavelength of an electron moving at 7.3 × 106 m/s. Please show your work. Note: h
ad-work [718]

Answer:

\lambda=9.96\times 10^{-11}\ m

Explanation:

The expression for the deBroglie wavelength is:

\lambda=\frac {h}{m\times v}

Where,  

\lambda is the deBroglie wavelength  

h is Planck's constant having value 6.62607\times 10^{-34}\ Js

m is the mass of electron having value 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

v is the speed of electron.

Given that v = 7.3\times 10^6\ m/s

Applying in the equation as:

\lambda=\frac {h}{m\times v}

\lambda=\frac{6.62607\times 10^{-34}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 7.3\times 10^6}\ m

\lambda=\frac{10^{-34}\times \:6.626}{10^{-25}\times \:66.503}\ m

\lambda=\frac{6.626}{10^9\times \:66.503}\ m

\lambda=9.96\times 10^{-11}\ m
