Asteroids are rocky space debris that are formed from interspacial collisions and collection of dusty particles. our solar system has an enormous asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Jupiter also has more local asteroids that are locked to its gravitational pull.

Not to be confused with a comet or meteor.

Osmosis and diffusion are related processes that display similarities. Both osmosis and diffusion equalize the concentration of two solutions. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur. In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Osmosis and facilitated diffusion both account for movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

Study this chemical reaction: (aq)(s)(s)(aq) Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that hap

disa [49]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Study this chemical reaction:

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.

Oxidation:

Reduction:

Answer:

Oxidation taking place in given reaction :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction taking place in given reaction;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

Explanation:

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur side by side.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s) \rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

In the given reaction, iron(II) ions are getting reduced and zinc metal is getting oxidized to zinc(II) ions.

Oxidation :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction ;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

What is a atom and what do atom do in the world

gayaneshka [121]

In all atoms, the number of protons and the number of electrons is always the same. The number of neutrons is very roughly the same as the number of protons, but sometimes it's rather more. The number of protons in an atom is called the atomic number and it tells you what type of atom you have.
