Answer:

CaSO₄ (calcium suflate) is the precipitate formed

Explanation:

We can think the reactants:

BeSO₄ → Beryllium sulfate

Ca(OH)₂ → Calcium hydroxide

The reaction is:

Be₂SO₄ + Ca(OH)₂ → CaSO₄ ↓ + Be(OH)₂

We call it as a double-replacement reaction because two ions exchange places from 2 compounds to form two new compounds.

Sulfates can always make precipitate with the elements from group 2, Ca, Ba and Mg.

Hydroxides from group 2 are solubles, so we complete states:

BeSO₄ (aq) + Ca(OH)₂ (aq) → CaSO₄ ↓ (s) + Be(OH)₂ (aq)

HNO3 + S --> H2SO4 + NO Now identify the element oxidized and the element reduced. Which element is oxidized? Which element i

OleMash [197]

Answer: S is getting oxidized, N is getting reduced and O and H undergo no oxidation or reduction

Explanation:

The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when oxidation number of a species increases.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when oxidation number of a species decreases.

For the given chemical reaction:

$HNO_3+S\rightarrow H_2SO_4+NO$

On the reactant side:

Oxidation number of H = +1

Oxidation number of N = +5

Oxidation number of O = -2

Oxidation number of S = 0

On the product side:

Oxidation number of H = +1

Oxidation number of N = +2

Oxidation number of O = -2

Oxidation number of S = +6

As the oxidation number of S is increasing from 0 to +6. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Similarly, the oxidation number of N is decreasing from +5 to +2. Thus, it is getting reduced.

The oxidation numbers of O and H remain the same on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are neither getting oxidized or reduced.

Hence, S is getting oxidized, N is getting reduced and O and H undergo no oxidation or reduction

What does the interquartile range represent?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer: C) middle 50 percent of the data

The interquartile range (IQR) spans from the first quartile Q1 to the third quartile Q3.

25% of the data is below Q1 and 75% of the data is below Q3. The gap between the two endpoints consists of 75-25 = 50 percent of the data, or half of the data.
