Chemistry

Answer:

The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.

The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.

Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.

Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.

Using the redox reaction below determine which element is oxidized and which is reduced. 4nh3 + 3ca(clo)2 → 2n2 + 6h2o + 3cacl2
lys-0071 [83]
The oxidation number of elements in equation below are,

                         4NH₃ + 3Ca(ClO)₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O + 3CaCl₂

O.N of N in NH₃ = -3
O.N of Ca in Ca(ClO)₂ and CaCl₂ = +2
O.N of N in N₂ = 0
O.N of Cl in Ca(ClO)₂ = +1
O.N of Cl in CaCl₂ = -1

Oxidation:
               Oxidation number of Nitrogen is increasing from -3 (NH₃) to 0 (N₂).

Reduction:
               Oxidation number of Cl is decreasing from +1 [Ca(ClO)₂] to -1 (CaCl₂).

Result:
          <span>N is oxidized and Cl is reduced.</span>

Identify the limiting reactant when 1.22 g of O2 reacts with 1.05 g H2 to produce water.
kupik [55]
The reaction between oxygen, O2, and hydrogen, H2, to produce water can be expressed as,

                    2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

The masses of each of the reactants are calculated below.

          2H2 = 4(1.01 g) = 4.04 g
          O2 = 2(16 g) = 32 g

Given 1.22 grams of oxygen, we determine the mass of hydrogen needed.
        (1.22 g O2)(4.04 g H2 / 32 g O2) = 0.154 g of O2

Since there are 1.05 grams of O2 then, the limiting reactant is 1.22 grams of oxygen.


<em>Answer: 1.22 g of oxygen</em>

A bacterium is in a nasty environment. What sort of reproduction would it use in this situation? Why? How else would it protect
lana [24]

The bacteria in nasty environment undergoes multiple fission.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The bacteria is a unicellular prokaryotic organisms that are found in each and every places of the world. They can survive in extremes of temperatures and pH. They can save themselves through special processes in the extreme climates.

The bacteria undergoes multiple fission in these climates. They cover themselves up with a strong and tough capsule inside which they undergo several Binary fissions. This leads to the formation of multiple cells enclosed with a capsule.

With the return of the favourable climate, the capsule rupture and these newly formed cells come out.
