Calculate the area of a 3.0 inch by 5.0 inch index card in square millimeters (mm). (You can look up the formula for the area of
meriva

Answer:

The area of the given rectangular index card = <u>9677.4 mm²</u>    

Explanation:

Area is defined as the space occupied by a two dimensional shape or object. The SI unit of area is square metre (m²).

<u>The area of a rectangle</u> (A) =  length (l) × width (w)

Given dimensions of the rectangle: Length (l) = 5.0 inch, Width (w) = 3.0 inch

Since, 1 inch = 25.4 millimetres (mm)

Therefore, l = 5 × 25.4 = 127 mm, and w = 3 × 25.4 = 76.2 mm

Therefore, <u>the area of the given rectangular index card</u> = A= l × w = 127 mm × 76.2 mm = <u>9677.4 mm²</u>

For a particular redox reaction, Cr is oxidized to CrO 2 − 4 and Ag + is reduced to Ag . Complete and balance the equation for t
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

6Ag⁺ + Cr + 8OH⁻ → 6Ag + CrO₄²⁻ + 4H₂O

Explanation:

We can balance the redox reaction of Cr and Ag⁺, in terms of two half-reactions, one for Ag⁺ and other for Cr:

Ag⁺   →   Ag      

In the above equation we need to balance the number of electrons, we know that the Ag⁺ is being reduced to Ag, so the reaction is:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ →  Ag   (1)

Now, we need to balance the half-reaction of Cr:

Cr   →  CrO₄²⁻  

From above, we know that the Cr is being oxidated to CrO₄²⁻, so we need to balance the number of electrons and the number of oxygen atoms. The Cr⁰ is being oxidated to Cr⁶⁺, so for the electron balance, we need to add 6e⁻ to the right side of the equation. Since the reaction is in a basic medium, the oxygen atoms will be balanced with OH⁻ ions as follows:          

Cr + OH⁻ →  CrO₄²⁻ + 6e⁻  

The hydrogen atoms will be balanced using H₂O molecules:  

Cr + OH⁻ →  CrO₄²⁻ + 6e⁻ + H₂O    

The balanced equation is:

Cr + 8OH⁻ →  CrO₄²⁻ + 6e⁻ + 4H₂O   (2)

Since the reaction (1) involves 1 electron and the reaction (2) involves 6 electrons, by increasing the reaction (1) six times and by the addition of the two reactions (1 and 2) we can have the net redox reaction:

6*(Ag⁺ + e⁻ →  Ag)  

<u>Cr + 8OH⁻ →  CrO₄²⁻ + 6e⁻ + 4H₂O</u>

6Ag⁺ + Cr + 8OH⁻ → 6Ag + CrO₄²⁻ + 4H₂O                  

Therefore, the net equation is: 6Ag⁺ + Cr + 8OH⁻ → 6Ag + CrO₄²⁻ + 4H₂O.

I hope it helps you!

Contrast aluminum and nitrogen. Show why aluminum is a metal and nitrogen is not.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Nitrogen: Non- metal = they are poor conductors of heat and electricity, they are brittle solids, not ductile in their solid state - they cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets. They are usually dull and therefore show no metallic luster and they do not reflect light. They also have a low density.

Aluminium: Metal= Offers a rare combination of valuable properties. It is one of the lightest metals in the world: it's almost three times lighter than iron but it's also very strong, extremely flexible and corrosion resistant because its surface is always covered in an extremely thin and yet very strong layer of oxide film. It doesn't magnetise, it's a great electricity conductor and forms alloys with practically all other metals.

Pure metals tend to be weaker and more reactive than an alloy which is a
Alex17521 [72]
Alloys are supposed to give greater strength to metals, which is why gold is mixed with others to make it harder. They have greater strength and are more resistant to erosion.

Which of the following statements is true?
dybincka [34]
The correct answer is C. Atoms are incredibly small and can bearly be seen with the most powerful electron microscopes. The nucleas of an atom contains protons and neutrons with electrons in orbitals around the nucleas. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
