Hi my name is Jaleesa The answer = -1
..........The answer is B
Answer:
C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.
Explanation:
Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.
Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.
For example
Cl + e- → Cl⁻
The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.
Answer:
- Third choice:<em> energy present in the glucose and oxygen that is not needed for the formation of carbon dioxide and water is released to form energy/ATP.</em>
Explanation:
<u>1) Chemical equation (given):</u>
- C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ --> 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + energy
<u>2) Chemical potential energy:</u>
Each compound stores chemical potential energy. This energy is stored in the chemical bonds.
Due to every substance has its own unique chemical potential energy, when a chemical reaction takes plase, yielding to the change of some substances, some energy is absorbed (when bonds are formed) and some energy is released (when bonds are broken).
<u>3) Conservation of energy:</u>
Then, if the sum of the bond energies of the final products is less than the sum of the bond energies of the reactants, the<em> law of conservation of energy</em> rules that the difference between the total energies of the products and reactants must be released to the surroundings.
That is what is happening in the given reaction:
- C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ --> 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + energy
The term energy in the product side means that energy is conserved because it is being released due to the the glucose and oxygen (reactant side) have more energy stored in their bonds than the energy needed for the formation of carbon dioxide and water, so that excess of energy is released to form energy/ATP.
<u>Summarizing:</u>
- The energy on the product side added to the energy of carbon dioxide and water equals the energy of the glucose and oxygen and the final balance is:
- ∑ Energy of the reactants = ∑energy of the products + released energy, supporting the law of conservation of energy.
OK, its deff not the last one b/c all that trash just goes into the air, overwater farm land would kill crops (no help there), Ive never heard of heating water to kill excess bacteria. There is ,however, a new technique called Bioremediation which is the use of living organism to clean up a medium i.e. air,soil, water. It would seem the 2nd answer is correct.
