Answer:

N2H2(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) ----------> N2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 2e

Explanation:

Hydrazine is mostly used in thermal engineering as an anticorrosive agent. Hydrazine can be oxidized in aqueous solution as shown in the equation above. Oxidation has to do with loss of electrons and increase in oxidation number.

The oxidation number of nitrogen in the equation increased from -1 in hydrazine on the lefthand side of the reaction equation to zero in nitrogen on the right hand side of the reaction equation. Two electrons were lost in the process as shown.

If 75.0 g of a liquid has a volume of 62.4 mL ,calculate the liquid’s density

Galina-37 [17]

<span>To calculate the density of a liquid, you have to first know that density is the amount of substance per unit of volume. In this specific question, density will be found with units of g/mL. Now, the density can be found by dividing the amount of liquid, 75.0g, by the volume, 62.4mL. Doing this we get: 75.0g/62.4mL= 1.2 g/mL as the density of the liquid.</span>
