Unique archaea characteristics include their ability to live in extremely hot or chemically aggressive environments, and they can be found across the Earth, wherever bacteria survive. Those archaea that live in extreme habitats such as hot springs and deep-sea vents are called extremophiles.
Answer:
Oxygen
Explanation:
In the compound tenormin, there are two highly electronegative atoms capable of accepting electrons; oxygen and nitrogen. Oxygen is more electronegative than nitrogen.
However, the oxygen atom in tenormin is bonded to carbon in a carbonyl bond. Recall that the carbonyl bond is polar and the direction of the dipole is towards the oxygen atom. Looking at the structure of tenormin, it is clear that the electron density of the bond tends towards the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group. Electron density is withdrawn from the adjacent nitrogen atom of the amine group via mesomeric and inductive mechanism towards the more electronegative oxygen atom.
On the other side of the structure, there are two oxygen atoms. These oxygen atoms are more electronegative than nitrogen thus they are more basic.
Hence the oxygen atom is the most basic atom in the compound tenormin.
Answer & Explanation:
(a)
reducing agent = Fe²⁺
Oxidizing agent = NO₃⁻
oxidation
Fe²⁺ ⇒ Fe(OH)₃
reduction
NO₃⁻ ⇒ N₂
Oxidation Half Reaction
(<em>redox reactions are balanced by adding appropriate H⁺ and H₂O atoms)</em>
Fe²⁺ ⇒ Fe(OH)₃
Balance O atoms
Fe²⁺ + 3H₂O ⇒ Fe(OH)₃
Balance H atoms
Fe² + 3H₂0 ⇒ Fe(OH)₃ + 3H⁺
balance Charge
Fe² + 3H₂0 ⇒ Fe(OH)₃ + 3H⁺ + e⁻..............(1)
reduction Half Reaction
NO₃⁻ ⇒ N₂
Balance N atoms
2NO₃⁻ ⇒N₂
Balance O atoms by adding appropriate H₂O
2NO₃⁻ ⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O
Balance H atoms
2NO₃⁻ + 12H⁺ ⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O
Balance Charge
2NO₃⁻ + 12H⁺ + 10e⁻⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O.................(2)
Combine Equation (1) and (2)
(1) × 10: 10Fe² + 30H₂0 ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃ + 30H⁺ + 10e⁻
(2) × 1: 2NO₃⁻ + 12H⁺ + 10e⁻⇒ N₂ + 6H₂O
(1) + (2): 10Fe² + <u><em>30H₂0</em></u> + 2NO₃⁻ + <u><em>12H⁺</em></u> + <u><em>10e⁻</em></u> ⇒10Fe(OH)₃ + <u><em>30H⁺</em></u><u><em> </em></u>+ <em><u>10e⁻</u></em> +
N₂ + <u><em>6H₂O</em></u>
10Fe² + 24H₂0 + 2NO₃⁻ ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃ + 18H⁺ + N₂
this is the balanced reaction
REDUCTION POTENTIAL
10Fe²⁺(aq) + 10e⁻ ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃(aq) E°ox = 10(-0.44) = -4.4V
2NO₃⁻(aq) - 2e⁻ ⇌ N₂(g) + 18H⁺ E°red = 2(+0.80) = +1.6
10Fe² + 24H₂0 + 2NO₃⁻ ⇒ 10Fe(OH)₃ + 18H⁺ + N₂ E°cell = -2.8V
E°cell = E°red + E°ox
Answer:
form the Octet Rule
Remember that the Octet Rule allows all atoms to get 8 valance electrons either by gaining or losing electrons (except for Hydrogen and Helium because of the Duet Rule who allows to get no more that 2 valance electrons)
