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)

Which answer is an isotope of 40/20x? <br><br> Question Pictured here:
Nesterboy [21]

An isotope of ₂₀⁴⁰X  ⇒₂₀⁴⁴X

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons.

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)

In the following element notation,

\large {{{A} \atop {Z}} \right X}

X = symbol of elemental atom

A = mass number

  = number of protons + number of neutrons

Z = atomic number

   = number of protons = number of electrons, on neutral elements

For symbol of isotope X :

₂₀X⁴⁰ : atomic number = 20, mass number = 40

A. ₄₀²⁰X : atomic number = 40, mass number = 20, neutrons=20

B. ₂₀⁴⁰X²⁺ : atomic number = 20, mass number = 40, neutrons=20

C. ₂₁⁴⁰X : atomic number = 21, mass number = 40, neutrons=19

D. ₂₀⁴⁴X : atomic number = 20, mass number = 44, neutrons=22

The movement of these tectonic plates is likely caused by convection currents in the molten rock in Earth's mantle below the crust. Earthquakes and volcanoes are the short-term results of this tectonicmovement. The long-term result of plate tectonics is the movement of entire continents over millions of years
