Answer:-

Oxygen gains electrons and is reduced.

Explanation:-

For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is

4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3

When Oxygen is present as oxygen gas, the oxidation number of O is Zero since it is the only element present in Oxygen gas.

Similarly Iron is present in Fe with oxidation number Zero.

In the case of Fe2O3, Oxygen has the oxidation number -2 while Iron has +3.

So the oxidation number of Oxygen goes from Zero to -2.

Since the oxidation number decreases Oxygen is reduced.

Since reduction involves gain of electrons, Oxygen gains electrons.

The value of the equilibrium constant for the following chemical equation is Kr 40 at 25°C. Calculate the solubility of Al(OH)s(
dedylja [7]

Answer:

0,040 M

Explanation:

The global reaction of the problem is:

Al(OH) (s) + OH⁻ ⇄ Al(OH)₂⁻(aq) K= 40

The equation of equilibrium is:

K = \frac{[Al(OH)_{2} ^-]}{[Al(OH)][OH^-]}

The concentration of OH⁻ is:

pOH = 14 - pH = <em>3</em>

pOH = -log [OH⁻]

[OH⁻] = 1x10⁻³

Thus:

40 = \frac{[Al(OH)_{2} ^-]}{[Al(OH)][1x10^{-3}]}

<em>0,04M =  \frac{[Al(OH)_{2} ^-]}{[Al(OH)]}</em>

This means that 0,04 M are the number of moles that the solvent can dissolve in 1L, in other words, solubility.

I hope it helps!

A 0.25-mol sample of a weak acid with an unknown Pka was combined with 10.0-mL of 3.00 M KOH, and the resulting solution was dil
Masteriza [31]

Answer : The value of pK_a of the weak acid is, 4.72

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of KOH.

\text{Moles of }KOH=\text{Concentration of }KOH\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }KOH=3.00M\times 10.0mL=30mmol=0.03mol

Now we have to calculate the value of pK_a of the weak acid.

The equilibrium chemical reaction is:

                          HA+KOH\rightleftharpoons HK+H_2O

Initial moles     0.25     0.03        0

At eqm.    (0.25-0.03)   0.03      0.03

                     = 0.22

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}

pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[HK]}{[HA]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

3.85=pK_a+\log (\frac{0.03}{0.22})

pK_a=4.72

Therefore, the value of pK_a of the weak acid is, 4.72

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is Glycolysis.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is a catabolic process that deals with the breakdown of glucose by 10 enzyme catalyzed steps to generate the end product pyruvate.

      Glycolysis take place in the cytosol of an eukaryotic cell because the concentration of glucose and enzymes that catalyzes the break down of glucose remain significantly high in the cytosol.
