Answer:

The correct option is: B. 14 H⁺ + 6 e⁻ + Cr₂O₇²⁻ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺ + 7 H₂O

Explanation:

Redox reactions is an reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously due to the simultaneous movement of electrons from one chemical species to another.

The reduction of a chemical species is represented in a reduction half- reaction and the oxidation of a chemical species is represented in a oxidation half- reaction.

<u>To balance the reduction half-reaction for the reduction of Cr₂O₇²⁻ to Cr³⁺</u>:

Cr₂O₇²⁻ ⟶ Cr³⁺

First the <u>number of Cr atoms</u> on the reactant and product side is balanced

Cr₂O₇²⁻ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺

Now, Cr is preset in +6 oxidation state in Cr₂O₇²⁻ and +3 oxidation state in Cr³⁺. So each Cr gains 3 electrons to get reduced.

Therefore, <u>6 electrons are gained</u> by 2 Cr atoms of Cr₂O₇²⁻ to get reduced.

Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6 e⁻ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺

Now the total charge on the reactant side is (-8) and the total charge on the product side is (+6).

From the given options it is evident that the reaction must be balanced in acidic conditions.

Therefore, to <u>balance the total charge</u> on the reactant and product side,<u> 14 H⁺ is added on the reactant side.</u>

Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6 e⁻ + 14 H⁺ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺

Now to <u>balance the number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, 7 H₂O is added on the product side.</u>

Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6 e⁻ + 14 H⁺ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺ + 7 H₂O

<u>Therefore, the correct balanced reduction half-reaction is:</u>

Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6 e⁻ + 14 H⁺ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺ + 7 H₂O

A doorknob makes it easier for you to open doors because it is what type of simple machine?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Wheel and Axle

Both of these work together to form a simple machine. You can't have one without the other.

If you try to turn just the axle itself, then you'll find it takes a lot of work. This is because the inertia of the axle wants to keep the object at rest. Also, you won't have a lot of torque due to the small radius compared to what a doorknob can offer.

Using a doorknob is like putting a (steering) wheel on an axle. This increases the radius and therefore increases the torque. You put in less work into the system and get more out of it.

COMPARE: Identify three ways that a biologist’s research is similar to an astronomer’s.
dalvyx [7]
  1. Biologist and astronomer both use tools that magnify  so they are able to view minute objects. Astronomers use telescopes while biologists use microscopes.
  2. They both require data science due to the enormous data they are collecting that needs to be analyzed. Astronomers are collecting data on millions of stars and galaxies. Biologists require data science to analyze the enormous genomic data from populations.
  3. Both fields involve making new  discoveries due to the enormity of the scale in their scopes. Biologists and astronomy attempt to find new planets and those that could harbor extra-terrestrial life while biology attempts to find new undiscovered species of organisms on earth.

Que diferencia hay entre drogas estimuladoras depresoras y perturbadoras del sistema nervioso
12345 [234]

Answer:

Las drogas estimulantes son un grupo de medicamentos que tienen un efecto estimulante mental y físico en humanos y animales, estimulando y dando energía al paciente.  Ejemplos de psicoestimulantes son cafeína, efedrina, anfetaminas y metilfenidato.  Estos se usan en pequeñas dosis para, entre otras cosas, mejorar la atención del paciente y la capacidad de planificación, permitiendo un mayor y mejor rendimiento de la persona durante sus actividades diarias.

A su vez, un depresor es una sustancia que paraliza las funciones del sistema nervioso central, siendo las pastillas para dormir y los sedantes los depresores mas comunes. La acción de los sedantes se basa en su capacidad para activar los mediadores del sistema nervioso central, especialmente el ácido gamma-aminobutírico, causando en el paciente una sensación que puede ir desde la tranquilidad y relajación hasta un estado de somnolencia o incluso la propia inducción al sueño.

Por último, las drogas perturbadoras del sistema nervioso incluyen LSD, cannabis o la cocaína. Algunos efectos típicos son cambios en la visión y el oído, alucinaciones, confusión de sentidos, fuertes experiencias de belleza, disolución del yo y un sentido de unidad, experiencias religiosas y confrontaciones con el subconsciente. Este tipo de drogas son en su gran mayoría ilegales, y no forman parte de tratamientos médicos autorizados.
