what modifications to either or both of the half-cell reactions would kim need to make if she wanted to use them to produce equa

kompoz [17]

We have to add the both half cell equations and eliminate the number of electrons lost/gained.

<h3>What modification must Kim make to the equations?</h3>

The term redox reaction is a type of reaction that occurs when an electron is lost or gained in a reaction system. We can see that in this reaction, zinc looses two electron which are gained by copper.

If we want to obtain the equation 4.9 which is the overall equation of the redox reaction from the various half cell equations then we have to add the both half cell equations and eliminate the number of electrons lost/gained.

What solid contains two types of bonds?

Dafna1 [17]

I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option B. Silicon oxide is the solid that contains two types of bonds because you have Si-Si bonds and Si-O bonds. That is two different covalent bonds. Hope this answers your question.

Based on periodic trends of electronegativity, what statement regarding the halogens is MOST accurate?

8090 [49]

Answer:

C) Fluorine has the strongest tendency to attract electrons.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the tendency of the atom in a covalent bond to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself.

Down the group, size increases which means that the nucleus become far from the valence electrons and thus decreased electronegativity as there will be less tendency to attract the shared electrons.

Fluorine and iodine are in the same group and thus fluorine has higher tendency to attract electrons and thus has the highest electronegativity.

The table shows the amount of radioactive element remaining in a sample over a period of time.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

1. The half-life is 22 years.

2. 132 years

Explanation:

1. Determination of the the half-life.

The half-life of an element is the time taken for half the element to decay.

From the table given above, the original amount of the element 45 g. If we divide 45 by 2, we'll have 22.5 g as half the original amount of element.

Now, the time taken to obtain 22.5 g as shown from the table is 22 years.

Thus, the half-life the element is 22 years.

2. Determination of the time.

Original amount (N₀) = 308 g

Amount remaining (N) = 4.8125 g

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 308 g

Amount remaining (N) = 4.8125 g

Number of half-lives (n) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

4.8125 = 1/2ⁿ × 308

Cross multiply

4.8125 × 2ⁿ = 308

Divide both side by 4.8125

2ⁿ = 308 / 4.8125

2ⁿ = 64

Express 64 in index form with 2 as the base.

2ⁿ = 2⁶

n = 6

Thus, 6 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of half-lives (n) = 6

Half-life (t½) = 22 years

Time (t) =?

n = t / t½

6= t / 22 years

Cross multiply

t = 6 ×22

t = 132 years.

Thus, the time taken is 132 years.
