Answer:

Reduction

Explanation:

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Mn⁺⁷ +3e⁻ → Mn⁴⁺

Mn gets three electrons , its oxidation state reduced from +7 to +4 so Mn gets reduced.

Examples:

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.

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.

A solution made by dissolving 33 mg of insulin in 6.5 mL of water has an osmotic pressure of 15.5 mmHg at 25°C. Calculate the mo

Liula [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iMRT$

Or,

$\pi=i\times \frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}\times RT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 15.5 mmHg

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

Mass of solute (insulin) = 33 mg = 0.033 g (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Volume of solution = 6.5 mL

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273+25]=298K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$15.5mmHg=1\times \frac{0.033\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of insulin}\times 6.5}\times 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\\text{molar mass of insulin}=\frac{1\times 0.033\times 1000\times 62.364\times 298}{15.5\times 6.5}=6087.2g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of the insulin is 6087.2 g/mol

An 8 N force is applied to a 2 kg object. What is the magnitude of the object's acceleration? A. 0.25 m/s² B. 4 m/s² C. 6 m/s² D

mel-nik [20]

Answer: 4m/s2 (B)

Explanation:

Force = mass × acceleration

Force given is 8N

Mass=2kg

Acceleration =?

Substitute into the formula

F=ma

8=2a

A=8/2

A=4m/s2

Acceleration used is 4m/s2 (B)

What is homologous series . Write it's characteristics

Anni [7]

Answer:

Homologous series is defined as a systematic order of structurally similar organic compound containing same functional group in their family and two adjacent members differ in their molecular formula by -CH2 unit.

Characteristics:

1.Various members of homologous series contain same functional group.

2.Various members of homologous series can be represented by common formula.

3. All members of a homologous series have almost similar chemical properties.

4. All members have common method of preparation.

5.Two successive members of homologous series have different chain length or difference in their molecular formula by -CH2 unit.

6.The members of homologous series show different physical properties.
