Answer : The balanced oxidation-reduction reaction is,

2HNO_3+S\rightarrow 2NO+H_2SO_4

In this reaction, the 'S' atom shows oxidation and 'N' atom of HNO_3 shows reduction.

Explanation:

Redox reaction : It is a type of reaction in which an oxidation and reduction reaction takes palace simultaneously.

Oxidation : The loss of electrons and gain of oxygen or increase in the oxidation number is an oxidation.

Reduction : The gain of electrons and loss of oxygen or decrease in the oxidation number is a reduction.

The balanced redox reaction will be,

2HNO_3+S\rightarrow 2NO+H_2SO_4

From this we conclude that, the 'S' atom is oxidized due to increase in the oxidation number from 0 to (+6) and 'N' atom of HNO_3 is reduced due to decrease in the oxidation number from (+5) to (+2).  So, 'S' atom shows oxidation and 'N' atom shows reduction.

Why can a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Molecules in a liquid have less force of attraction as compared to solids. But liquid molecules have more force of attraction as compared to gases.

Since molecules of a gas are held together by weak Vander waal forces, therefore, they expand to fill the container whereas molecules in a liquid are not expanded in a container like gases because of more force of attraction within molecules of liquids as compared to gases.

Hence, a liquid can take the shape of container in which it is kept.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself because the particles of a liquid are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand.

Automobile bodies contain significant amounts of iron. The iron is protected by the addition of zinc. This is called galvanizati
Oksana_A [137]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Galvanization is defined as the process in which a protective layer of zinc is applied to iron or steel to prevent the metal from rusting.

Zinc prevents the oxidation of iron and acts as a reducing agent in the process.

The half reaction for the process follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe

Net chemical equation:  Zn+Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Fe

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.

If 287 mL of a 1.6 M glucose solution is diluted to 412 mL , what is the molarity of the diluted solution
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.11 M

Explanation:

Data

volume 1 = 287 ml

concentration 1 = 1.6 M

volume 2= 412 ml

concentration 2 = ?

Formula

               Volume 1 x concentration 1 = Volume 2 x concentration 2

Solve for concentration 2

          concentration 2 = (volume 1 x concentration 1) / volume 2

Substitution

          concentration 2 = (287 x 1.6) / 412

Simplification

          concentration 2 = 459.2 / 412

Result

           concentration 2 = 1.11 M
