Chemistry
1 answer:
Eddi Din [679]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A) HBr oxidized; HCl reduced

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Cl₂ + 2HBr → 2HCl + Br₂

The given reaction is redox reaction because oxidation reduction take place.

Cl₂ is reduced from oxidation state 0 to -1 while HBr oxidized from -1 to 0.

Chlorine is oxidizing agent while HBr is reducing agent.

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.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized

If the H+ in a solution is 1x10^-1 mol/L what is the OH-
damaskus [11]
PH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is.
we have been given the hydrogen ion concentration. Using this we can calculate pH,
pH = - log[H⁺]
pH = - log (1 x 10⁻¹ M)
pH = 1
using pH can calculate pOH
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - 1
pOH = 13
using pOH we can calculate the hydroxide ion concentration 
pOH = - log [OH⁻] 
[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)
[OH⁻] = 10⁻¹³ M
hydroxide ion concentration is 10⁻¹³ M

An algal bloom resulting from excess detergent and fertilizer use in the surrounding community is most likely a result of which
Lilit [14]

Answer:

c. ll and lll only

Explanation:

Algae are plant-like protists capable of photosynthesis in their cells (chloroplast). Like every other living organism that grows and reproduce, algae also requires nutrients for these processes to effectively occur.

Algae makes use of inorganic nutrients including sulphates, phosphates, nitrates etc which are found in fertilizers, detergents etc. In the presence of these compounds, algae tends to grow excessively to form a BLOOM. Hence, according to the question, nitrates and phosphates are the two inorganic nutrients algae makes use of.
