sveta [45]

Answer:

E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g)

Explanation:

Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction?

A) PbCO₃(s) + 2 HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

B) Na₂O(s) + H₂O(l) ⇒ 2 NaOH(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

C) SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂SO₄(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

D) CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂CO₃(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g). YES. <u>C is reduced</u> and <u>H is oxidized</u>.

Write the full ground state electron configuration of f+.
ANTONII [103]

Answer:- 1s^22s^22p^4 .

Explanation:- Atomic number for fluorine(F) is 9 and it's electron configuration is 1s^22s^22p^5 . F^+ is formed when F loses one electron from it's valence shell.

F\rightarrow F^++1e^-

Second shell is the valence shell for fluorine and so it loses one electron from 2p to form  F^+  and the electron configuration of the ion becomes 1s^22s^22p^4 .

Which of the following chemical formulas show three molecules of a compound that has one
mr_godi [17]

The chemical formula : 3HgBr₂(Mercury(II) bromide)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The chemical formulas of Mercury and Bromine

Required

The appropriate chemical formula

Solution

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

The number of molecules is determined by the coefficient in front of the compound

the number of atoms is determined by the subscript after the atom and the coefficient

Three molecules⇒ coefficient = 3

one atom of Mercury ⇒Hg

two atoms of Bromine ⇒ Br₂

The chemical formula : 3HgBr₂
