Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

A tritium is produced.

Explanation:

Combining two additional neutrons to the nucleus of the hydrogen atom makes it a tritium, Hydrogen-3.

   neutron is designated  ¹₀n; this shows a mass number of 1 and no atomic number

  Hydrogen-1 is designated as ₁¹H; a mass number of 1 and atomic number of 1. This particle is actually more like a proton.

        Combining both:

                  ₁¹H + 2¹₀n → ³₁H

This is a nuclear reaction and in balancing such reaction equation, mass numbers and atomic numbers must be conserved.

If you have 2.1 liters of hydrogen gas (at STP), what mass of hydrogen gas would you have?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.19 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Volume of hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure (STP): 2.1 L

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 2.1 L of hydrogen  at STP

At STP (273.15 K and 1 atm), 1 mole of hydrogen has a volume of 22.4 L if we treat it as an ideal gas.

2.1 L × 1 mol/22.4 L = 0.094 mol

Step 3: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.094 moles of hydrogen

The molar mass of hydrogen is 2.02 g/mol.

0.094 mol × 2.02 g/mol = 0.19 g

Write and balance the half-reaction for the oxidation of white phosphorous P4 to the phosphate ion PO3^−4 in a basic solution.
aalyn [17]

Since the half-reaction is occurring in a basic solution, add 32OH− to each side of the equation to eliminate the H+ ions.

P₄ +16H₂O + 32OH⁻ ⟶ 4PO₃⁻⁴ + 32H⁺ +32OH⁻

Final reaction :

P₄ + 32OH⁻ ⟶ 4PO₃⁻⁴ + 16H₂O + 20e⁻

A half reaction is either the oxidation or reduction reaction component of a redox reaction. A half reaction is obtained by considering the change in oxidation states of individual substances involved in the redox reaction.

The concept of half-reactions is used to describe what occurs in an electrochemical cell, such as a Galvanic cell battery. Half-reactions can be written to describe both the metal undergoing oxidation (known as the anode) and the metal undergoing reduction (known as the cathode).

Half-reactions are often used as a method of balancing redox reactions. For oxidation-reduction reactions in acidic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, one will need to add H+ ions to balance the hydrogen ions in the half reaction.

For oxidation-reduction reactions in basic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, first treat it as an acidic solution and then add OH- ions to balance the H+ ions in the half reactions (which would give H2O).

This is a measure of mass per unit volume.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Density

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume. It is the ratio between the mass and the volume of a substance. It does not matter how large or small a sample of matter is, the same substance will always have the same density, because of this. The ratio between the mass and volume remains the same.
