Answer:

Compound.

Explanation:

A compound is a made up of two or more than two different elements. It can be broken down into smaller molecules.Elements are combined to form a compound by chemical bonding like ionic bonding and covalent bonding.

Different compounds of different elements can be broken down into the chemical reaction called decomposition reaction. For example:

Using electrolysis, we can break down water into its elements hydrogen and oxygen.

The answer is a compound because it is only a compound that can be broken to elements. for eg. H2o is a compound and be broken to element of 2 molecules of hydrogen and oxygen

What is the balanced form of the following equation? Br 2 + S 2 O 3 2– + H 2 O → Br 1– + SO 4 2– + H +
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

Explanation:

Br₂ +  S₂O₃²⁻  + H₂O  → Br⁻ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺

This is a redox reaction:

Br₂ changes the oxidation state from 0 to -1, so it was reduced

In the S₂O₃⁻² anion S changes the oxidation state from +2 to +6 in sulfate anion. (S₂O₃⁻², it is called thiosulfate)

We have protons in the main equation, so we assume we are in acidic medium:

Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻         Reduction

We balanced the bromide with 2, so the bromine has gained 2 electrons.

<u>5H₂O</u> + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + <u>10H⁺</u> + <em>8e</em>-  Oxidation

First of all, we add 2 to the sulfate anion in the product side, in order to balance the S.

As we have 8 O in right side, and 3 O in left side, we must add 5 O. We add 5 water in the place where the O are lower (reactant side).

Now, we have 10 H, in the reactant side, so we balance the product side with protons (10 H⁺).

Sulfur changed the oxidation state from +2 to +6, so it released 4 electrons, but, if you see thiosulfate anion you have 2 sulfurs so finally it has released 8 electrons.

Electrons are unbalanced so we multiply reduction x4, and oxidation x1.

(Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻) . 4 = 4Br₂ + 8e⁻ → 8Br⁻

(5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>-) . 1 = STAYS THE SAME.

We sum both half reactions, to cancel the elecetrons:

4Br₂ + 8e⁻ + 5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻  → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + <em>8e</em>- + 8Br⁻

Finally the balanced reaction is: 4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

Write a 125 word summary of what you have learned in "Introducing the Microscope". Be sure to include steps on how to focus, how
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Introduction to Basic Microscopy. Microscopes are specialized optical instruments designed to produce magnified visual or photographic (including digital) images of objects or specimens that are too small to be seen with the naked eye.

Microscope are the important tools which are used by scientist. For example, in material science, medicine, mineralogy and microbiology.

Light microscope is able to send light. Light is being focused in a tight breath whereby that light passes through a sample which later it is able to create an image. This image passes to different lenses which magnifies it until it reaches the camera.

There are different types of microscope for example, Compound light microscope, Simple light microscope, and monocular microscope.

In simple light microscope only one lens which which is being used to magnify an object and it is not able to reach to a higher magnification.

In compound light microscope it uses two lenses to produce image. For example eyepiece lens and objective lens.

Greater than ___________ mcg/dl is considered a high level of morning cortisol.
Natalija [7]

Greater than 23mcg/dl is considered a high level of morning cortisol.

Normally, cortisol levels rise during the early morning hours and are highest about 7AM. They drop very low in the evening and during the early phase of sleep. If you do not have this daily change (diurnal rhythm) in cortisol levels, you may have overactive adrenal glands. This condition is called Cushing's syndrome.
