The following are the steps  to complete and balnce the equation for the given reaction

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given, NO2– is oxidized to NO3– and Ag is reduced to Ag

NO2– + Ag+ -----> NO3– + Ag(s)

Step 1) Assign the oxidation state to each element reaction

NO2– + Ag+ -----> NO3– + Ag(s)

N= +3                           N = +5                        

O = -2                            O = -2

Ag = +1                         Ag = 0

NO2– -----> NO3– ………oxidation half reaction

Ag+ -----> Ag(s) ……….reduction half reaction

Step 2) Balance the element other than O and H

     NO2– -----> NO3–

     Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 3) Balance the O by adding 1 H2O for 1 O

     NO2– + H2O -----> NO3–

     Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 4) Balance the H by adding H+

    NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+

     Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 5) Balance the charge by adding electron

    NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+ + 2e-

     Ag+ + 1e------> Ag(s)

Step 6) Balance the electron in both half reaction

    NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+ + 2e-

     2 Ag+ + 2e------> 2 Ag(s)

Characteristics of matter that cannot be changed are called
olchik [2.2K]
It is called Mass.

Among the physical characteristics of a matter which includes Weight, Mass, Volume, and Density the only characteristic that does not change is the mass. The mass of an object never change from place to place. All the objects have a mass and that is why there is a weight but it changes depends on the gravity. Mass don't.

What is the speed of light?can a object move in speed of light?​
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The speed of light is the speed at which light travels. No, an object cannot move at the speed of light.  

Explanation:

The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. An object with mass cannot move at the speed of light since it would take an infinite amount of energy to achieve that velocity, since only massless particles can travel at the speed of light. Also, you would have to factor in air friction, meaning even if an object were to reach such high speeds, it would instantly disintegrate.

Why is studying light and electrons important for chemistry and understanding the universe?
Brut [27]

Explanation :

The study of light and electrons are important for chemistry & universe.

   As we know, everything is made up of particles even light & universe also. The particles are made of atoms and that atoms are made up of electrons, protons & neutrons.

   An electron is one of the most important type of subatomic particles. Electrons combine with the proton to form atom. These electrons, protons & neutrons play a vital role in chemistry and universe.

   The importance of an electron is that when two atoms react with each other or approach each other, their outermost shells come into contact first and these outermost shells electrons are involved in the chemical reaction.

    Also important for chemical reactions, creating bonds, for electricity and the understanding of electrons has allowed for the better understanding of some forces which are in our universe such as electromagnetic force.

    We know that the light is act as particle nature and it is a part of universe. As we know that chemists are only responsible for the chemical's study. Chemists cannot study the whole universe that is why they study light and the light is important because nothing would be able to survive.

    The studying of light is important for the photoelectric effect, absorption, bio-molecules synthesis, vitamin D synthesis, vision, colors, drying & evaporation, sterilization, solar energy, spectroscopy, signal system and also for electron excitation.
