Answer:

The coefficient of Sn(OH)_3^{-} is 3 in the balanced redox reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom loses 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

For the given chemical reaction:

Bi(OH)_3+Sn(OH)_3^{-}\rightarrow Sn(OH)6^{2-}+Bi

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction:  Sn(OH)_3^{-}+3OH^-\rightarrow Sn(OH)6^{2-}+2e^-

Reduction half reaction:  Bi(OH)_3+3e^-\rightarrow Bi+3OH^-

To balance the oxidation half reaction must be multiplied by 3 and reduction half reaction must be multiplied by 2 thus, the balanced equation is:-

3Sn(OH)_3^{-}+3OH^-+2Bi(OH)_3\rightarrow 3Sn(OH)6^{2-}+2Bi

<u>The coefficient of Sn(OH)_3^{-} is 3 in the balanced redox reaction.</u>

Based on the kinetic molecular theory, which of the following statements is correct about the particles in a sample of gas at a
fgiga [73]

Answer:

There is a lot of empty space between them.

Explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory postulates that a substance is made up of tiny particles called molecules. The molecules of a gas are in constant random motion and collide elastically with each other. They also collide with the walls of the container.

The magnitude of intermolecular forces of attraction between gas molecules is very small. Hence gas molecules are largely apart with a lot of empty space between gas molecules.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Paper Chromatography

Explanation:

Most leaves are green due to chlorophyll pigments of different types like chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B, etc. All these pigments will be seperated according to their molecular composition. So, the correct option is 'Paper Chromatography'.
