Which equation represents the oxidation half-reaction for this redox reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ronch [10]3 years ago

Answer:

C.   Mg → Mg²⁺ + 2e−

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reactions.

Mg + CuSO₄      →    MgSO₄  + Cu

Mg atom lose two electron and gets oxidized.

Mg → Mg²⁺ + 2e−

These two electrons are accepted by Cu and gets reduced.

CuSO₄       →      Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻   →  Cu

Which equation represents a transuranium​
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1) Since you have not provided the equations to select the right one, I am going to explain you the relevant facts that are used to solve this question.

2) The transuranium elements are the chemiical elements with atomic number greater than that of the uranium.

The atomic number of uranium is 92. So, the transuranium elements are the elements with atomic number 93 or greater.

This are some of the transuranium elements:

Neptunio - 93

Plutonium - 94

Americium - 95

Curium - 96

Berkelium - 97

Californium - 98

Einstenium - 99

And so all the known elements (the last one is the 118).

3) In a nuclear reaction the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

4) Beta decay is the release of a beta particle, which is an electron (considered massles and with charge - 1). So, the beta decay is represented with the symbol:

0

 β, which means 0 mass and charge - 1.

-1

5) This is, then, an example of a β decay equation for one transuranium element:

239              239            0

     Np    →         Pu   +      β

 93                94            -1

As you see 239 = 239 + 0 and 93 = 94 - 1, showing that the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and the total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

The survival of aquatic organisms depends on the small amount of O2 that dissolves in H2O . The diagrams above represent possibl
koban [17]

Answer:

Diagram 1

Explanation:

The solubility of the oxygen gas in water has to do with the interaction of the oxygen with the dipoles in water.

Water is a polar molecule having oxygen as the negative dipole and hydrogen as the positive dipole.

Water can interact with the oxygen atoms in the molecule via intermolecular hydrogen bonds with molecular oxygen as shown in diagram 1.

Explain some of the benefits and problem associated with the pesticide DDT.
Dafna1 [17]

Some benefits are that DDT helps us grow crops and keeps pests off our crops.

But DDT is harmful to the environment. If it gets into the water ways then if can harm fish and animals that eat the fish such as birds.

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas is always:
natka813 [3]

Answer:

d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.

Explanation:

Boyle's law  states that at constant temperature and number of moles, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas.

Thus, P ∝ T

P is the pressure

T is the temperature

For two gases at same temperature, the law can be written as:-

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

<u>Thus, according to the question, the answer is:- d. inversely proportional to the volume of its container.</u>
