Answer:

0.00120 moles

Explanation:

Given that:-

Current, I = 0.880 A

Time, t = 132 seconds

Considering:-

I=\frac{Charge,\ q}{t}

0.880\ A=\frac{q}{132\ sec}

Charge=0.880*132 C = 116.16 C

Also, 1 mole of electrons contain a charge of 96500 C

Thus, Moles = \frac{116.16}{96500}=0.00120 moles

What is the balanced form of the following equation? Br 2 + S 2 O 3 2– + H 2 O → Br 1– + SO 4 2– + H +
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

Explanation:

Br₂ +  S₂O₃²⁻  + H₂O  → Br⁻ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺

This is a redox reaction:

Br₂ changes the oxidation state from 0 to -1, so it was reduced

In the S₂O₃⁻² anion S changes the oxidation state from +2 to +6 in sulfate anion. (S₂O₃⁻², it is called thiosulfate)

We have protons in the main equation, so we assume we are in acidic medium:

Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻         Reduction

We balanced the bromide with 2, so the bromine has gained 2 electrons.

<u>5H₂O</u> + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + <u>10H⁺</u> + <em>8e</em>-  Oxidation

First of all, we add 2 to the sulfate anion in the product side, in order to balance the S.

As we have 8 O in right side, and 3 O in left side, we must add 5 O. We add 5 water in the place where the O are lower (reactant side).

Now, we have 10 H, in the reactant side, so we balance the product side with protons (10 H⁺).

Sulfur changed the oxidation state from +2 to +6, so it released 4 electrons, but, if you see thiosulfate anion you have 2 sulfurs so finally it has released 8 electrons.

Electrons are unbalanced so we multiply reduction x4, and oxidation x1.

(Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻) . 4 = 4Br₂ + 8e⁻ → 8Br⁻

(5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>-) . 1 = STAYS THE SAME.

We sum both half reactions, to cancel the elecetrons:

4Br₂ + 8e⁻ + 5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻  → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>- + 8Br⁻

Finally the balanced reaction is: 4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

Alla [95]

Hello.

The answer is:  A. keep a cork in the test tube so the solution cannot spill out

B and C both could be very deadly and it shouldnt be D because if u have an open flame you shouldnt open it even if its not towards anyone.

have a nice day

Answer:

In science, sound is defined as the transfer of energy from a vibrating object in waves that travel through matter. Most people commonly use the term sound to mean what they hear when sound waves enter their ears. The tree above generated sound waves when it fell to the ground, so it made sound according to the scientific definition

Explanation:
