Inside a volcano how do the slanted layers of hardened lava get there

1 answer:

8 0

This is a build up of lava which came out of the volcano in previous eruptions, once this lava came out of the volcano it cooled and hardened, over many eruptions layers of hardened volcanic rock will form. The layers are slanted as gravity acts on the lava so it flows down and a little further from the cone.

Identify the oxidized substance, the reduced substance, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent in the redox reaction. Cu(s)

spin [16.1K]

Answer: Copper is getting oxidized and is a reducing agent. Silver is getting reduced and is oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the atom increases.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the atom decreases.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

For the given chemical reaction:

$Cu(s)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq.)$

The half reactions for the above reaction are:

Oxidation half reaction: $Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $2Ag^+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(s)$

From the above reactions, copper is loosing its electrons. Thus, it is getting oxidized and is considered as a reducing agent.

Silver is gaining electrons and thus is getting reduced and is considered as an oxidizing agent.

Please calculate the mixed volume (Vmix) when 0.300 mol of ethanol and 0.200 mol of water are mixed. Hint: The partial molar vol

Grace [21]

Answer:

If we assume the molar volumes of water and ethanol 17.0 and 57.0 cm³/mol, respectively, Vmix = 20.5 cm³.

Explanation:

The molar volume of a substance is the ratio between the volume and the number of moles of the substance. It represents the volume that 1 mol of it occupies. Because we don't have access to page 24, let's assume the molar volumes of water and ethanol 17.0 and 57.0 cm³/mol, respectively.

The volume of mixture (Vmix) is the sum of the volume of each substance, which is the number of moles multiplied by molar volume, so:

Vmix = 0.300*57 + 0.200*17

Vmix = 17.1 + 3.4

Vmix = 20.5 cm³
