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⁻

The thing that the discovered is a "partially molten state"<br> What would that be considered as
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

liquid and solid

Explanation:

Research scientists of scotland discovered a new state of the matter which consists of both liquid and solid. Scientifically there are  three states of matter i.e Solid, Liquid and Gas, but now there are chances of one more state of matter which which consists of more than one state of the existing three states of the matter which have both liquid and solid state.  

This discovery took place with the help of artificial intelligence of today's world which is transforming the world  day by day.

The State is considered to be true as it is thermodynamically stable state of the matter.

A blood sample of 4.01 milliliters is collected from a patient to be analyzed for a platelet count. Human blood should have arou
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Given :

Human blood should have around 1.04 kg/L platelets.

A blood sample of 4.01 milliliters is collected from a patient to be analyzed for a platelet count.

To Find :

The expected mass in grams of platelets in the blood sample.

Solution :

1 L of human blood contains 1.04 kg of platelets.

So, amount of platelets is 1 ml blood is :

=\dfrac{1.04}{1000}\ kg\\\\= \dfrac{1.04\times 1000}{1000}\ gram\\\\= 1.04 \ gram

Mass of platelets in 4.01 ml blood is :

m = 1.04\times 4.01\ gram\\\\m = 4.1704\ gram

Hence, this is the required solution.

Do ionic compounds or covalent compounds conduct electricity
Liula [17]

None because Covalent compounds don’t conduct electricity because they are formed between the non metal atoms by sharing of electrons. The Covalent compounds haves no free electrons and also no ions and hence they do not conduct electricity. That is why they do not conduct electricity.
