Answer:

When the following redox equation is balanced with smallest whole number coefficients, the coefficient for the iodide ion will be __6__.

Explanation:

From the redox equation, we can see that NO₃⁻ is reduced to NO (from oxidation state +5 to +2), whereas I⁻ is oxidized to I₂ (from oxidation state -1 to 0). The half reactions are balanced with H⁺ (acidic solution), as follows:

Reduction :        2 x (NO₃⁻(aq) + 3 e-  + 4 H⁺ → NO(g) + 2 H₂O)

Oxidation :                                   3 x (2 I⁻(aq) → I₂(s) + 2 e-)

                       ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Total equation: 6 I⁻(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq)+ 8 H⁺ → 3 I₂(s) + 2 NO(g) + 4 H₂O

That is the redox equation with the smallest whole number coefficients.

Accordin to this, the coefficient for the iodide ion (I⁻) is: 6.

Why do reactivity increases on moving from top to bottom in group 2 of modern periodic table?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

that's because....

group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.

they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.

as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.

so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.

so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim

but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.

as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)

as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.

Tried solving this multiple ways, but keep getting the wrong answer. So, I would appreciate the help. Thank you.​
Aliun [14]

Answer:

I can give you the definition ... That might help cause I honestly don't kno the answer either ;-;

Explanation:

When used as a diacritic mark, the term dot is usually reserved for the interpunct, or to the glyphs 'combining dot above' and 'combining dot below' which may be combined with some letters of the extended Latin alphabets in use in Central European languages and Vietnamese.

Here is an example:

The dot product between a unit vector and itself is also simple to compute. In this case, the angle is zero and cosθ=1. Given that the vectors are all of length one, the dot products are i⋅i=j⋅j=k⋅k=1.

What is atomic number of sodium​
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal. Sodium is an alkali metal, being in group 1 of the periodic table. Its only stable isotope is ²³Na. The free metal does not occur in nature, and must be prepared from compounds.

A gold nugget has a volume of 20.0 cm3 and its density is 19.3 g/cm3. What is the mass of the gold nugget?
salantis [7]
Density * Volume = Mass

Now we substitute the values in.

19.3 g/cm^3 + 20 cm^3 = 386 g

Mass = 386 g
