Answer: only Br2.

Justification.

In  a chemical reaction the element that gains electrons experiments a reduction in its oxidation state, that is why it is said that it is reduced.

So, to know what element is being reduced you need to calculate the oxidation states of the elements involved.

Here I indicate the oxidation states of each element if the reaction putting them inside parenthesis:

Reactants side          Products side

K (0)                           K (1+)
    
Br (0)                          Br(1-)

So, K lost one electron, increasing its oxidation statefrom  0 to 1+, meaning that it is being oxidized.

And, each atom of Br gained one electron, reducing its oxidation state from 0 to 1-, meaning it is being reduced.

Therefore, the answer is that Br2 is the substance being reduced.

The following conditions exist in a bacterium and its environment. Environment: 5M NaCl; 1M glucose Inside cell: 3M NaCl; 10M gl
NARA [144]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Diffusion uses the concentration gradient that has been set up, this is a naturally occurring phenomena, and using a diffusion gradient some small particles can cross over the cell membrane. Some bigger or polar molecules require facilitated diffusion to move these molecules across the membrane.

Facilitated diffusion still uses the gradient for passive transport. This means that ATP is not used to transport molecules.

The reason that glucose will not move into the cell via passive transport is because there is a higher concentration of glucose inside the cell, meaning it needs active transport to move glucose (against the concentration gradient) into the cell.

By what mechanism does cyclohexanol react when treated in sulfuric acid and what compound results?A) E 1; methoxycyclohexane B)
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

E 1: cyclohexene

Explanation:

This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;

1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.

2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.

3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.
