Answer:

Explanation:

Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu

Magnesium is oxidized because its oxidation state increased from 0 to +2 while Cu is reduced because its oxidation state decreased from +2 to 0.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

If 4.70 L of CO2 gas at 22 ∘C at 789 mmHg is used, what is the final volume, in liters, of the gas at 37 ∘C and a pressure of 75

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Final Volume = 5.18 Liters

Explanation:

Initial Condition:

P1 = 789 mm Hg x (1/760) atm /mm Hg = 1.038 atm

T1 = 22° C = 273 + 22 = 295 K

V1 = 4.7 L

Final Condition:

P2 = 755 mm Hg x (1/760) atm /mm Hg = 0.99 atm

T2 = 37° C = 273 + 37 = 310 K

V2 = ?

Since, (P1 x V1) / T1 = (P2 x V2) / T2,

Therefore,

⇒ (1.038)(4.7) / 295 = (0.99)(V2) / 310

⇒ V2 = 5.18 L (Final Volume)

The chart below lists data on four different projects designed to restore a wetlands habitat destroyed by human activity and a r

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Project 3.

Explanation:

Project 3's anticipated cost is 12 to 17 million dollars. It is a lower anticipated cost than Project 2 and Project 4, but higher than Project 1 by one million dollars at maximum cost anticipation. Additionally, the percentage of wildlife to benefit is 70-80%, which is second to the most wildlife to benefit which is Project 4 at 75-80%.

And finally, for community support for Project 3 - the chart lists it as high. This outclasses Project 2 and Project 4, but balances with Project 1. However, Project 1 costs 13 to 16 million dollars and only benefits 15-25% of wildlife.

Is carbon dioxide a reactant

Harman [31]

Answer: No

Explanation: Reactants are the substances present at the beginning of a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, for example, methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants in the chemical reaction. Products are the substances formed by a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the products formed by the reaction.

For the reaction where Δn=−1Δn=−1 , what happens after in increase in volume? ????KQ>K so the reaction shifts toward reactant

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

In general, an increase in pressure (decrease in volume) favors the net reaction that decreases the total number of moles of gases, and a decrease in pressure (increase in volume) favors the net reaction that increases the total number of moles of gases.

Δn= b - a

Δn= moles of gaseous products - moles of gaseous reactants

Therefore, after the increase in volume:

If Δn= −1 ⇒ there are more moles of gaseous reactants than gaseous products. The equilibrium will be shifted towards the products, that is, from left to right, and K>Q.
If Δn= 0 ⇒ there is the same amount of gaseous moles, both in products and reactants. The system is at equilibrium and K=Q.
Δn= +1 ⇒ there are more moles of gaseous products than gaseous reactants. The equilibrium will be shifted towards the reactants, that is, from right to left, and K<Q.

With no difference in temperatures and 100% humidity, will it rain? Why or Why not?

Artyom0805 [142]

Not necessarily, rain needs some mechanism such as instability of vertical air movement..
