the oxidation states of the elements before and after the reaction is;
Pb oxidation state changes from 0 to +2
SO₄²⁻ ion there's no change in the oxidation state during the reaction
Au oxidation state changes from +3 to 0
reduction reactions are when there's a decrease in the oxidation state of the species
oxidation reactions are when theres an increase in the oxidation state of the species
the element where there's a decrease in oxidation state is Au.
Therefore Au gets reduced.
answer is B) Au

What is the specific heat of titanium in j/(g⋅∘c) if it takes 89.7 j to raise the temperature of a 33.0 g block by 5.20 ∘c?

larisa [96]

Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise one gram of substances by 1 degree celsius . Therefore specific heat capacity for tatanium is 89.7j /( 33.0g x5.2 degree celsius) = 0.52j/g degree celcius
Molar mass for tatanium is 47.9 g/mole
heat is therefore 47.9 g/mole x 0.52j/g =24.9j/mole

How many atoms are in 20.6 moles of curium

Harman [31]

Answer: 1.24 × 10^25

Explanation:

$\frac{20.6 moles}{1}$ × $\frac{6.022 * 10^{24} }{1 Mole}$

Using our knowledge in unit conversions, we know the mole units cancel each other out and all there's left is the atom unit. From here we can multiply the fractions and eventually we end with the number 124.0532 × 10^23

According to the scientific notation rules, the number to the left of the decimal cannot exceed 10 so we have to move the decimal to the left two spaces. With this change, we also have to change the exponent of the 10. Because we moved the decimal point two spaces to the left, that means we have 10^25.

What are ionic bonds composed of?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:Ionic compounds are compounds composed of ions, charged particles that form when an atom (or group of atoms) gains or loses electrons. (A cation is a positively charged ion; an anion is a negatively charged ion.) Covalent or molecular compounds form when elements share electrons in a covalent bond to form molecules.
