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

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

8.7 L

Explanation:

T2(V1/T1) = V2

417.15 K(6.2 L/296.45 K) = 8.7 L

Remember to almost always change celcius to kelvin. Also, this is part of Charle's Law (temp and volume are proportional, so if temp increaces so must the volume or vice versa). Lastly, Charle's Law has the formula of V1/T1 = V2/T2. I just rearranged it to go along with your problem. Hence, the T2(V1/T1) = V2

A balloon contains 2.0 L of air at 101.5 kPa. You squeeze the balloon to a volume of .75 L. What is the pressure of air on the i

Nataly_w [17]

You would use the formula for Boyle's Law:

(P1) (V1) = (P2) (V2)

(101.5) (2.0) = (P2?) (.75)

*P2 = 270kPa (You're allowed 2 significant figures)

P = Pressure

V = Volume

What is the gram formula mass of Ca3(PO4)2

Georgia [21]

Mass Molar of $Ca_{3} (PO_4)_2$
Ca = 3*40 = 120 amu
P = 2*31= 62 amu
O = (16*4)*2 = 64*2 = 128 amu
--------------------------------------
Mass Molar of $Ca_{3} (PO_4)_2$ = 120 + 62 + 128 = 310 g/mol

Therefore: <span>What is the gram formula mass of Ca3(PO4)2 ?

What is the average mass of a single chlorine atom in grams

Archy [21]

<span>If you look at the chlorine box, with the symbol Cl, you see the atomic mass is equal to 35.453 atomic mass units. This is the weighted average mass of chlorine, including its isotopes, as found in nature. This also means that one mole of chlorine atoms has a mass of 35.453 grams.</span>

A sample of hydrogen gas collected over water occupied 30.0 mL at 24 °C on a day when the atmospheric pressure was 736 Torr. Wha

givi [52]

Answer:0.026ml

Explanation:

Details are found in the image attached. We must subtract the saturated vapour pressure of hydrogen gas at the given temperature from the total pressure of the hydrogen gas collected over water to obtain the actual pressure of hydrogen gas and substitute the value obtained into the general gas equation. The dry hydrogen gas has no saturated vapour pressure hence the value is substituted as given. All temperatures must be converted to Kelvin before substitution.
