Answer:

O.

Explanation:

  • The element which is oxidized is the element that losses electrons and its oxidation state be more positive.
  • The element which is reduced is the element that gain electrons and its oxidation state be more negative.

<em> O goes from 0 to -2, so, it is the element that is reduced.</em>

  • It is Fluorine.

For Y:-

  • No of protons:-

\\ \sf\longmapsto 16-8=8protons

  • It is Oxygen.

Write the balanced nuclear equation for the following. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Omit states-of-matter in your answ
olga55 [171]

Answer:

_{93}^{232}\text{Np} + _{-1}^{0}\text{e} \longrightarrow _{92}^{232}\text{U}

Explanation:

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

_{93}^{232}\text{Np} + _{1}^{0}\text{e} \longrightarrow ?

It is convenient to replace the question by an atomic symbol, _{x}^{y}\text{Z}, where <em>x </em>= the atomic number, <em>y</em> = the mass number, and Z = the symbol of the element.

_{93}^{232}\text{Np} + _{1}^{0}\text{e} \longrightarrow _{x}^{y}\text{Z}

Then your equation becomes

_{93}^{232}\text{Np} + _{1}^{0}\text{e} \longrightarrow _{x}^{y}\text{Z}

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the <em>sums of the superscripts and of the subscripts</em> must be the same on each side of the equation.  

Then

93 – 1 = <em>x</em>, so <em>x</em> = 92

232 + 0 = <em>y</em>, so <em>y</em> = 232

Element 92 is uranium, so the nuclear equation becomes

_{93}^{232}\text{Np} + _{-1}^{0}\text{e} \longrightarrow _{92}^{232}\text{U}

The chemical equation below shows the burning of magnesium (Mg) with oxygen (O2) to form magnesium oxide (MgO).
Leto [7]
For every 2 mole Mg we need 1 mole O2 ( based on the equation). since there is 4 mole Mg we need 2 mole O2. one mole O2 is 32 gram so 2 mole would be 64 grams.
