Explanation:

(a)   The given reaction equation is as follows.

        Cr(s) + NO^{-}_{3}(aq) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + NO(g) (acidic)

So, here the reduction and oxidation-half reactions will be as follows.

Oxidation-half reaction: Cr(s) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-}

Reduction-half-reaction: NO^{-}_{3} + 3e^{-}(aq) \rightarrow NO(g)

As total charge present on reactant side is -1 and total charge present on product side is +3. And, since it is present in aqueous medium. Hence, we will balance the charge for this reaction equation as follows.

      Cr(s) + NO^{-}_{3}(aq) + 4H^{+}(aq) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + NO(g) + 2H_{2}O(l) (acidic)

(b)   The given reaction equation is as follows.

        HCO^{-}_{3}(aq) + Ag(s) + NH_{3}(aq) \rightarrow H_{2}CO(aq) + Ag(NH_{3})^{+}_{2}(aq) (basic)

So, here the reduction and oxidation-half reactions will be as follows.

Reduction-half reaction: HCO^{-}_{3}(aq) + 4e^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}CO(aq)

Oxidation-half reaction: Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag(NH_{3})^{+}_{2}(aq) + 1e^{-}

Hence, to balance the number of electrons in this equation we multiply it by 4 as follows.

      4Ag(s) \rightarrow 4Ag(NH_{3})^{+}_{2}(aq) + 4e^{-}

Therefore, balancing the whole reaction equation in the basic medium as follows.

      H_{2}CO(aq) + 4Ag(NH_{3})^{+}_{2}(aq) + 5OH^{-}(aq) \rightarrow HCO^{-}_{3}(aq) + 4Ag(s) + 8NH_{3}(aq) + 3H_{2}O(l)

How many chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion and why??
antiseptic1488 [7]
3 Chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion.

In ionic bonds, metals atoms loses all its outermost shell electrons to form a cation. While, non metal atoms gains however many electrons in order to make its outermost electron shell be 8 (or 2 if there's only one shell).

Therefore, form the periodic table, we can see that aluminum has a atomic number of 13, which makes its electron arrangement be 2,8,3. So, in order to form a aluminum ion, an Al atom must lose 3 electrons. On the other hand, Chlorine has a atomic number of 17, which means it has the electron configuration of 2,8,7. It has to gain only 1 electron to have 8 outermost shell electron.

Thereofre, 3 Chlorine atom are required to gain all 3 electrons given out by just 1 aluminum ion.

Which metal will more easily lose an electron sodium or potassium?
sergey [27]
<span>The metal that would more easily lose an electron would be potassium. It is more reactive than sodium. Also, looking on the periodic table, </span><span>from top to bottom for groups 1 and 2, reactivity increases. So, it should be potassium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

I don’t understand this question
zhannawk [14.2K]
Since they both have the same momentum, the object with the larger mass has a small velocity. (Remember that mass and velocity are inversely proportional with
p=mv.) Therefore, the smaller object will have the larger KE. (KE = 1/2 ^2)

Calcium phosphate reacts with sulfuric acid to form calcium sulfate and phosphoric acid. What is the coefficient for sulfuric ac
gregori [183]

The coefficient for sulfuric acid wen reaction between calcium phosphate and phosphoric acid  occurs is

three (3)

<h2>explanation</h2>

write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction

that is

Ca3(PO4)2 + 3 H2SO4 →2 H3PO4 + 3CaSO4

since coefficient is number in front of a chemical formula  the coefficient of H2SO4 is 3
