Answer:

+2

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Ca + 2HF  →   CaF₂ + H₂

The oxidation state of Ca on left  hand side is 0 while on the right hand side when it form CaF₂ its oxidation state becomes +2 because it loses two. These two electrons are accepted by fluorine and complete its octet while Ca loses its two out most electron to complete the octet.

In this reaction oxidation of calcium takes place and calcium itself is reducing agent.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Consider another examples.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

What is the [OH-]if the pH of a solution 10.62
Lerok [7]
As we know,

                     pH + pOH  =  14
Or,
                     pOH  =  14 - pH

Putting Value of pH,

                    pOH  =  14 - 10.62

                    pOH  =  3.38

pOH is converted into [OH⁻] as follow,

                   [OH⁻]  =  10⁻pOH             ∴ -pOH is in power, 10 means antilog

The reaction that occurs in a Breathalyzer, a device used to determine the alcohol level in a person's bloodstream, is given bel
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

The rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given below:

2 K₂Cr₂O₇ + 8 H₂SO₄ + 3 C₂H₆O → 2 Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2 K₂SO₄ + 11 H₂O

From the equation of the reaction, 3 moles of C₂H₆O is used when 2 moles of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ are produced, therefore, the mole ratio of C₂H₆O to Cr₂(SO₄)₃ is 3:2.

The rate of appearance of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ in that particular moment is given 1.64 mol/min. This would than means that C₂H₆O must be used up at a rate which is approximately equal to their mole ratios. Thus,  the rate of of the disappearance of C₂H₆O can be calculated from the mole ratio of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ and C₂H₆O.

Rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 1.64 mol/min of  Cr₂(SO₄)₃  * 3 moles of C₂H₆O / 2 moles of Cr₂(SO₄)₃

Rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min of C₂H₆O

Therefore, the rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min

Which describes a scenario in which the Doppler effect is occurring?
s2008m [1.1K]

The correct answer is option B, that is, the pitch changes from low to high.  

The Doppler shift or the Doppler Effect refers to the variation in the wavelength or frequency of a wave in association with an observer who is traveling comparative to the source of the wave. A prime illustration of Doppler shift is the modification of the pitch heard when a vehicle sounding a horn comes towards and move away from an observer.  

In comparison to the frequency emitted, the obtained frequency is greater at the time of approach, similar at the instant of passing by, and lower at the time of recession.
