<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer for 1 is Option 4 and for 2 is Option 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For 1:</u>

From the given options:

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction in which a compound breaks down into two or more smaller compounds.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance is increased.

Neutralization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

From the above information, the correct answer is Option 4.

  • <u>For 2:</u>

Reducing agent is defined as the agent which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. It undergoes oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent is defined as the agent which oxidizes the other substance and itself gets reduced. It undergoes reduction reaction.

The reaction of sodium and oxygen follows the equation:

4Na(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Na_2O(s)

<u>On reactant side:</u>

Oxidation state of sodium = 0

Oxidation state of oxygen = 0

<u>On product side:</u>

Oxidation state of sodium = +1

Oxidation state of oxygen = -2

As, the oxidation state of sodium is increasing from 0 to +1, it is undergoing an oxidation reaction and thus is a reducing agent. While the oxidation state of oxygen is reducing from 0 to -2, it is undergoing an reduction reaction and thus is a oxidizing agent.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

What is/are converted into carbon dioxide , water, and energy in aerobic respiration
Lana71 [14]

Cellular respiration involves breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide and water in presence of oxygen, releasing energy. ... ATP molecule is converted into ADP molecule, whenever energy is needed for any metabolic reaction or activity. The energy stored in it is released to be used in metabolic reaction.

Hope this helps! So sorry if I'm wrong

Answer:

Option 4 ) 1-butyne

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, you should use IUPAC convention in order to name an organic compound. First of all, you should identify the lenght of the organic chain, for this case, you have 5 C atoms, but in fact, you have a triple bond (which would be a substitute: ethynil-) as a substitute, so the main skeleton would have 4 C atoms (a butane)

Then, you start by numbering carbon N° 1 as the one that has the substitute (triple bound)-starting from the right, it would be the second C):

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C≡CH

Which will finally leads us to 1-butyne

How to determine Km and Vm from a graph
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

From the graph find the maximum velocity and half it i.e. Vmax/2. Draw a horizontal line from this point till you find the point on the graph that corresponds to it and read off the substrate concentration at that point. This will give the value of Km.

What is the oxidation number for as in as2o3?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Ok so O3 has a greater electronegativity and is taken into account first, -2*3=-6, so As has to equal 6/2=3, so As has a +3 oxidation number here
