Answer:

It is A).

Explanation:

Silver (Ag) goes from the  pure metal to Ag+ losing 1 electron so it is oxidised.

The hydrogen ion  gains electrons and is reduced.

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

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

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

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

For the given chemical reaction:

2Ag+H_2S\rightarrow Ag_2S+H_2

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction:  Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-

Reduction half reaction:  2H^{+}+2e^-\rightarrow H_2

As, silver is loosing 1 electron to form silver cation. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Hydrogen is gaining 2 electrons to form hydrogen atom. Thus, it is getting reduced.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

What happens to elements when they combine together chemically ?
lara [203]

Answer:

When two distinct elements are chemically combined—i.e., chemical bonds form between their atoms—the result is called a chemical compound. Most elements on Earth bond with other elements to form chemical compounds, such as sodium (Na) and Chloride (Cl), which combine to form table salt (NaCl).

You’ve been waiting for the bus and your hands become cold. When you get onto the bus and sit down, you put your hands under you
snow_tiger [21]

Explanation:

The <u>First Law of Thermodynamics</u> states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. In other words, energy can be converted from one form into another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed.

<u>Conduction</u> is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact. This transfer occurs when molecules hit against each other, which can take place in solids, liquids, and gases.

When you put your cold hands under your legs to warm your hands up, the heat energy from your legs is being transferred to your hands through conduction. However, since energy cannot be created, there is no extra heat energy that can instantaneously replace the heat created by your legs.

Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol has the tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the alcohol in the ________ position.
Anni [7]

Answer:

Axial

Explanation:

In the most stable conformation of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol, the tert-butyl group is at equatorial position and the alcohol group is in the axial position.

If the tert-butyl group is placed in equatorial position, repulsions are minimized. The bulkier the group, the greater the energy difference between the axial and equatorial conformers. Hence for a ring having a bulky substituent, such bulky substituent is better placed in the equatorial position.

The energy difference between the conformers of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is so high that the compound is almost "frozen" in a conformation  where the tert-butyl groups are equatorial and the -OH groups are axial. This conformer is more stable by 24 KJ/mol.

What are units used for specific gravity? its 20 points ;)
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation: Specific gravity is a dimensionless quantity; that is, it is not expressed in units. To find the sp gr of a solid or liquid, you must know its density in kilograms per meter cubed (kg/m3) or in grams per centimeter cubed (g/cm3). Then, divide this density by the density of pure water in the same units.
