Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The amount of energy released when an electron is added to a neutral atom or ion preset in gaseous phase to form a negative ion then it is known as electron affinity.

As we move across a period, due to the decrease in size of atom there will be increase in electron affinity. And, when we move down a group then there will be decrease in electron affinity.

More positive is the value of electron affinity more readily the atom can gain an electron. And, more negative value of electron affinity means atom will have difficulty in gaining an electron.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it tends to be more negative down a group correctly summarizes the trend in electron affinity.

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: C2H4+O2=H2O+Co2?
pav-90 [236]
Consider the formation of water molecule. Hydrogen combines with oxygen to form  a water molecule.

 

In this case, the total mass of the reactants = total mass of the products. Also, the number of atoms of hydrogen and oxygen in the reactants side and the products side are equal.

that's all I know

Consider the statement, “In a chemical reaction, atoms are neither created nor destroyed, only rearranged.” Why is this a statem
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: The law of conservation of mass is reffering to the fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed. So when you speak about atoms not being created or destroyed it is the same thing. Unless you're talking about an atomic bomb where the atoms are split.

What is the reduction half-reaction for the equation below?
Katen [24]

Answer:

MnO_4^-+8H^++5e^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since redox reactions are characterized by the presence of a reduction reaction, whereby the oxidation of the element decreases, and an oxidation reaction whereby the oxidation of the element increases.

In such a way, for the given chemical equation, we can see Fe is increasing its oxidation state from 2+ to 3+, which means it is oxidized. On the flip side, Mn is being reduced from 7+ (MnO₄⁻) to 2+ and this, the reduction half-reaction is:

MnO_4^-+8H^++5e^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O

Whereas five electrons are carried.

Regards!
