What makes balancing redox reactions different from balancing other reactions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sergejj [24]3 years ago
6 0

Redox reactions are those <u>chemical reactions that involve the transfer of electrons between reactants</u>, altering the <em>oxidation state</em> of their elements.

In this type of reactions an element releases electrons that another element accepts, so there is a net transfer of charge.

When balancing redox reactions, not only must the chemical elements in the reactants and products be equalized (by the <em>law of conservation of the mass</em>), but also the charged that is transferred in the process must be balanced, since <u>the electrons that are lost in oxidation are the same as those that are gained in reduction (</u><em>law of conservation of charge:</em> <em>there is no destruction or net creation of electric charge</em>).

Zepler [3.9K]

As the concrete has cement, gravel, crushed rocks, sand, and water of different physical state and can be separated by physical methods hence it should be called as a mixture.

As the components have significant physical boundaries which clearly identify their presence, the mixture is heterogeneous and not homogeneous.

Thus this is a concrete is a heterogeneous mixture of cement, gravel, crushed rocks, sand, and water

katovenus [111]

Water combines with carbon dioxide to produce slightly acidic groundwater

that dissolves limestone and forms caves.

This is because the reaction between water and carbondioxide to form

bicarbonate ions( HCO₃⁻). The bicarbonate ions dissociate into Hydrogen

atoms thereby increasing the acidity.

The acidic environment results in the formation of acidic groundwater that

dissolves limestone and forms caves.

Which state of matter has atomic spacing that is close together and definite shape? gas liquid solid plasma none of the above
den301095 [7]

Answer: solid

Explanation:In a solid, the atoms are closely packed and hence are close together. This results in a definite pattern of packing and a definite shape. Solids have a defined shape and volume as a result of this orderly arrangement of atoms very close to each other in the solid material.
