Answer is: region A (from picture below).
Region A contains alkaline and earth alkaline elements (metals). This elements have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (alkaline metals one electron and earth alkaline metals two electrons). When element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The oxidation-reduction reaction or abbreviated as Redox is a chemical reaction in which there is a change in oxidation number

3 basic theories explain this Redox concept:

1. Binding/release of oxygen

The oxidation reaction is the binding of a substance with oxygen. (O₂)

For example:

2SO₂ + O₂ ----> 2SO₃

The reduction reaction is the release of oxygen from a substance.

For example:

2CuO → 2Cu + O₂

2. Electron release / binding reaction

Oxidation is an electron release event

Example:

2F ---> 2Fe³⁺ + 6e⁻

The reduction is an electron capture event

Example:

3O₂ + 6e⁻ ---> 3O²⁻

3. The reaction of addition/reduction of oxidation number

Oxidation is an increase in oxidation number, while reduction is a decrease in oxidation number.

The periodic system of elements is an arrangement of elements classified based on similar properties and their atomic number order.

The periodic system is divided into groups (vertical order) and periods (horizontal order)

Ionization energy is the energy that an atom needs in the gas phase to release its electrons

the ionization energy from one period from left to right gets bigger, which shows that the more right the elements are getting harder to release the electrons

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons

In a period from left to right, electronegativity is getting bigger, showing a tendency to attract more and more electrons

Elements that are easily subjected to oxidation, will usually be easy to release electrons, especially in elements of the Alkaline and alkaline earth groups, which will release electrons to be stable and have electron configurations such as noble gases

Apart from alkaline and alkaline earth has weak ionization energy making it easy to release electrons and also low electronegativity so that it is difficult to attract electrons

So the correct area is area A

Answer: 10.2 grams

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is :

$CaH_2(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2H_2(g)$

According to the ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = Pressure of the gas = 740 torr = 0.97 atm (760torr=1atm)

V= Volume of the gas = 12.0 L

T= Temperature of the gas = 19°C = 292 K $0^0C=273K$

R= Gas constant = 0.0821 atmL/K mol

n= moles of gas

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.97\times 12.0}{0.0821\times 292}$

$n=0.48$

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of hydrogen are generated by = 1 mole of $CaH_2$

Thus 0.48 moles of hydrogen are generated by = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.48=0.24$ moles of $CaH_2$

Mass of $CaH_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.24mol\times 42g/mol=10.2g$

Thus 10.2 grams of $CaH_2$ are needed to generate 12.0 L of hydrogen gas if the pressure of hydrogen is 740. torr at 19°C

A 75 g piece of gold (Au) at 1000 K is dropped into 200 g of H2O at 300K in an insulatedcontainer at 1 bar. Calculate the temper

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

the final temperature is T final = 308 K

Explanation:

since all heat released by gold is absorbed by water

Q gold + Q water = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

Assuming first that no evaporation of water occurs , and denoting g as gold and w as water , then

Q gold = m g*cp g* ( T final - T initial g)

Q gold = m w*cp w* ( T final - T initial w)

where

m= mass

cp = specific heat capacity

T final = final temperature

T initial g and T initial w = initial temperature of gold and water respectively

thus

Q gold + Q water = 0

m g*cp g* ( T final - T initial g) + m w*cp w* ( T final - T initial w) =0

m g*cp g* T final + m w*cp w* T final = m g*cp g* T initial g+ m w*cp w* T initial w

T final = (m g*cp g* T initial g+ m w*cp w* T initial w)/(m g*cp g+ m w*cp w)

replacing values and assuming cp w = 1 cal/gK = 4.816 J/gK and cp g = 0.129 J/gK (from tables), then

T final = (75 g*0.129 J/gK* 1000 K + 200 g * 4.816 J/gK * 300 K )/(75 g*0.129 J/gK*+ 200 g * 4.816 J/gK ) = 308 K

T final = 308 K

since T boiling water = 373 K and T final = 308 K , we confirm that water does not evaporate

therefore the final temperature is T final = 308 K

Balance this redox reaction occurring in acidic media:

Lelu [443]

Add 7 water atom to the right hand side to adjust the quantity of oxygen. Increase Cr(+3) by two to adjust the quantity of Cr. Duplicate Cl-by two to adjust the quantity of chlorine molecules.
Cr2O7[2-](aq) +2 Cl[-](aq) < - >2 Cr[3+] (aq) + Cl2(g)+7H2O
Presently adjust that charges.
you have - 4 charges on the left hand side, while +18 charges on the right hand side, there for include 14H+ the left hand side to adjust the charges
Cr2O7[2-](aq) +2 Cl[-](aq)+14H+ < - >2 Cr[3+] (aq) + Cl2(g)+7H2O
take note of that the oxidation number of hydrogen in water is +1
