Answer : The correct option is, 1 and 3

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

(1) The given balanced chemical reaction is :

Mg(s)+I_2(aq)\rightarrow MgI_2(s)

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction : I_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2I^-

In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'Mg' changes from (0) to (+2) that means Mg lost 2 electrons and it shows oxidation and the oxidation state of 'I' changes from (0) to (-2) that means 'I' gains 2 electrons and it shows reduction.

(2) The given balanced chemical reaction is :

Pb(ClO_4)_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s)+2KClO_4(aq)

In this reaction does not shows oxidation reduction reaction. This reaction shows double displacements and in this reaction the oxidation state of lead, iodine, potassium and chlorate does not change.

(3) The given balanced chemical reaction is :

Fe_2O_3(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3CO_2(g)

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : C^{2+}\rightarrow C^{4+}+2e^-

Reduction : Fe^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Fe

In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'C' changes from (+2) to (+4) that means C lost 2 electrons and it shows oxidation and the oxidation state of 'Fe' changes from (+3) to (0) that means 'Fe' gains 3 electrons and it shows reduction.

Hence, the chemical equations show(s) oxidation-reduction reactions are, 1 and 3.

Which represents the self ionization of water at 25 degrees
gayaneshka [121]
This question comes with four answer choices:

<span>A. H2O + H2O ⇄ 2H2 + O2

B. H2O + H2O⇄  H2O2 + H2

C. H2O + H2O ⇄ 4H+ + 2O2-

D. H2O + H2O ⇄  H3O+ + OH-

Answer: option </span><span>D. H2O + H2O ⇄  H3O+ + OH-

(the +sign next to H3O is a superscript, as well as the - sing next to OH)

Explanation:

The self-ionization of water, or autodissociation, produces the two ions H3O(+) and OH(-). The presence of ions is what explain the electrical conductivity of pure water.

</span><span>In this, one molecule of H2O loses a proton (H+) (deprotonates) to become a hydroxide ion, OH−. Then, he <span>hydrogen ion, H+</span>, immediately protonates another water molecule to form hydronium, H3O+.

PLA is a bioplastic that is biodegradable. Explain how is is created and why it is biodegradable.
Ratling [72]

Explanation:

<h3>PLA is a polyester produced by fermentation under controlled conditions of a carbohydrate source like corn starch or sugarcane. ... The starch is then mixed with acid or enzymes and heated. This process “breaks” starch into dextrose (D-glucose), or corn sugar.</h3>

<h3>PLA is a polymer made from high levels of polylactic acid molecules. </h3><h3>For PLA to biodegrade, you must break up the polymer by adding </h3><h3>water to it (a process known as hydrolyzing). Heat and moisture are required for hydrolyzing to occur.</h3>

<h3>PLA consists of renewable raw materials and is biodegradable in industrial composting plants. </h3><h3>However, due to the lack of infrastructure, it is difficult to </h3><h3>compost PLA industrially or to</h3><h3> recycle it.</h3>
