Answer:

The extent of a glacier is maintained by glacier budget. It is a balance between the amount of ice accumulate or lost from the glacier by ablation. The ablation can occur because of factors like melting, sublimation and breaking of ice.

Therefore, the situation which allows a glacier's size to be maintained is the amount of snow accumulates to the amount of snow undergone with wasting or loss.

Suppose a student did not fully redissolve the Al(OH)3 that initially formed upon the addition of H2SO4. Predict and explain how

kirza4 [7]

Percent yield is the measured recovery of a substance in grams divided by the theoretical amount of substance expected in grams (times 100 to convert to %). Undissolved Aluminum trihydroxide would add mass to the Aluminum sulphate one is making here. The measured mass would be inaccurately high, increasing the percent yield calculated.

In which reaction does the oxidation number of hydrogen change? In which reaction does the oxidation number of hydrogen change?

dedylja [7]

Answer: The correct answer is $2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2NaOH(aq.)+H_2(g)$

Explanation:

Oxidation number is defined as the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. When an atom looses electron, it attains a positive oxidation state. When an atom gains electron, it attains a negative oxidation state.

Oxidation state of the atoms in their elemental state is considered as 0. Hydrogen is present as gaseous state.

For the given chemical reactions:

Reaction 1: $2HClO_4(aq.)+CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow Ca(ClO_4)_2(aq.)+H_2O(l)+CO_2 (g)$
