Answer:
Explanation:
Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu ( copper gets reduced )
Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ( copper gets oxidized )
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.
Consider the following reactions.
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O
The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
Atoms are electrically neutral because they contain equal quantities of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Electrons and protons have equal but opposite charges, so the result is no net charge. Ions are atoms that have gained or lost electrons.
Answer:
A. The gas molecules possess kinetic energy.
Explanation:
The characteristics of the Ideal gases are given by the Kinetic Theory of gases which are as follows:-
Gases consist of particles in constant, random motion. They continue in a straight line until they collide with something—usually each other or the walls of their container.
Particles are point masses with no volume. The particles are so small compared to the space between them, that we do not consider their size in ideal gases.
No molecular forces are at work. This means that there is no attraction or repulsion between the particles.
Gas pressure is due to the molecules colliding with the walls
Answer:
% = 76.75%
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we just need to use the expressions of half life and it's relation with the concentration or mass of a compound. That expression is the following:
A = A₀ e^(-kt) (1)
Where:
A and A₀: concentrations or mass of the compounds, (final and initial)
k: constant decay of the compound
t: given time
Now to get the value of k, we should use the following expression:
k = ln2 / t₁/₂ (2)
You should note that this expression is valid when the reaction is of order 1 or first order. In this kind of exercises, we can assume it's a first order because we are not using the isotope for a reaction.
Now, let's calculate k:
k = ln2 / 956.3
k = 7.25x10⁻⁴ d⁻¹
With this value, we just replace it in (1) to get the final mass of the isotope. The given time is 1 year or 365 days so:
A = 250 e^(-7.25x10⁻⁴ * 365)
A = 250 e^(-0.7675)
A = 191.87 g
However, the question is the percentage left after 1 year so:
% = (191.87 / 250) * 100
<h2>
% = 76.75%</h2><h2>
And this is the % of isotope after 1 year</h2>
