<span>Oxidation is the loss of electrons and corresponds to an increase in oxidation state. The reduction is the gain of electrons and corresponds to a decrease in oxidation state. Balancing redox reactions can be more complicated than balancing other types of reactions because both the mass and charge must be balanced. Redox reactions occurring in aqueous solutions can be balanced by using a special procedure called the half-reaction method of balancing. In this procedure, the overall equation is broken down into two half-reactions: one for oxidation and the other for reduction. The half-reactions are balanced individually and then added together so that the number of electrons generated in the oxidation half-reaction is the same as the number of electrons consumed in the reduction half-reaction.</span>

A 19.0 g piece of metal is heated to 99.0 °C and then placed in 150 mL of water at 21°C. The temperature of the water rose to 23

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

$0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}$

Explanation:

$m_m$ = Mass of metal = 19 g

$c_m$ = Specific heat of the metal

$\Delta T_m$ = Temperature difference of the metal = $99-23=76^{\circ}\text{C}$

V = Volume of water = 150 mL = $150\ \text{cm}^3$

$\rho$ = Density of water = $1\ \text{g/cm}^3$

$c_w$ = Specific heat of the water = 4.186 J/g°C

$\Delta T_w$ = Temperature difference of the water = $23-21=2^{\circ}\text{C}$

Mass of water

$m_w= \rho V\\\Rightarrow m_w=1\times 150\\\Rightarrow m_w=150\ \text{g}$

Heat lost will be equal to the heat gained so we get

$m_mc_m\Delta T_m=m_wc_w\Delta T_w\\\Rightarrow c_m=\dfrac{m_wc_w\Delta T_w}{m_m\Delta T_m}\\\Rightarrow c_m=\dfrac{150\times 4.186\times 2}{19\times 76}\\\Rightarrow c_m=0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}$

The specific heat of the metal is $0.8696\ \text{J/g}^{\circ}\text{C}$ .

Martian periodic table

denis23 [38]

<span>Chemists considered Martian Periodic Table as one of the most useful tools they’ve used whose purpose is to arrange the Martian elements according to their properties and their atomic number. On this periodic table, it was found out that the properties seem to vary. Dmitri Mendeleev, the first to arrange the periodic table according to atomic mass in a manner that the elements with the same properties were grouped together. It was Henry Moseley who later arranged the periodic table in accord to the increasing number of atoms per element. </span>

YOU DO:

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

67.1%

Explanation:

Based on the chemical equation, if we determine the moles of sodium carbonate, we can find the moles of NaHCO₃ that reacted and its mass, thus:

<em>Moles Na₂CO₃ - 105.99g/mol-:</em>

6.35g * (1mol / 105.99g) = 0.0599 moles of Na₂CO₃ are produced.

As 1 mole of sodium carbonate is produced when 2 moles of NaHCO₃ reacted, moles of NaHCO₃ that reacted are:

0.0599 moles of Na₂CO₃ * (2 moles NaHCO₃ / 1 mole Na₂CO₃) = 0.1198 moles of NaHCO₃

And the mass of NaHCO₃ in the sample (Molar mass: 84g/mol):

0.1198 moles of NaHCO₃ * (84g / mol) = 10.06g of NaHCO₃ were in the original sample.

And percent of NaHCO₃ in the sample is:

10.06g NaHCO₃ / 15g Sample * 100 =

Trans fats: Think about how the prefix trans- is used in naming alkenes.

wel

In an alkene, cis and trans isomers are possible because the double band is rigid, cannot rotate, has groups attached to the carbons of the double bond that are fixed relative to each other, and only occurs with double bonds-possibility that molecule will have different geometries; two different molecules with slightly different properties.
-Trans-2 ends of chain across the double bond.
While naming Cis-Trans isomers the prefix cis or trans are placed in front of the alkene name when there are cis-trans isomers.

Sophia was fascinated while studying the role of oceans in the hydrosphere. She decided to illustrate the features of the ocean

ANEK [815]

Answer:

The Major features of the ocean floor are:

Continental Shelf
Continental Slope
Continental Rise
Abyssal Plain
Oceanic Trench
Mid-Ocean Ridge

Explanation:

1. Continental Shelf: This refers to the part of the land on every continent that is covered with water that is not too deep. The types of animals that can be found on the continental shelf are:

Crab, Tuna, Lobster, Dungeness cod, etc. Within the Continental shelf, there are permanent rocks that house other organisms such as sponges, anemones, clams, sponges, oysters. The continental shelf also contains the route of migration for bigger animals such as sea turtles dolphins and even whales.

2. Continental Slope: This spans from the shelf break to the continental rise. It can slope up to 4 degrees. Slopes can be created by faulting, slumping of huge boulders of sediments, rifting, etc.

Some of the aquatic animals that can be found in this region include but are not limited to:

Sablefish, Dover sole rockfish, etc.

3. Continental rise

This part of the ocean floor usually has a very steep gradient or angle slope. It slopes very steeply into the abyssal plain of the ocean.

The following can help form continental rise:

Mass wasting;
deposition from contour currents and
the longitudinal settling of biogenic and clastic particles

4. Abyssal Plain.

This is the real bottom of the ocean. There is a very high probability that one would find animals such as nematodes, polychaetes, etc which are all types of worms down there. The Abyssal plain is also home to molluscs, and echinoderms.

5. Oceanic Trench

Sometimes there is a long and narrow indenture or depression along the seafloor. These are called Trenches. Trenches are sometimes formed by the boundaries between one lithospheric plate and another. The deepest trench on earth is found in the Pacific Ocean. It has been nick-named the Challenger Deep and said to be the deepest point known on earth reaching almost 11 kilometers.

6. Mid-Ocean Ridge

This is a mountain range underneath the ocean. It is formed when there is an upward push by convection currents of the mantle beneath the oceanic crust. When this happens and molten magma is ejected or created at the boundary between the plates, the result is a Mid-Oceanic Ridge.
