A refractometer is an instrument used to measure the refractive index of gases, liquids, and translucent solids like gemstones. Liquids are tested for things such as blood proteins, salinity, fluid concentrations, and specific gravity of urine.
Answer:
A disproportionation reaction is when a multiatomic species whose pertinent element has a specific oxidation state gets oxidized and reduced in two separate half-reactions, yielding two other products containing the same pertinent element. A convenient example is Mn2O3 becoming Mn2+ and MnO2 .
Answer:
Answer to A. helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, B. Elemental hydrogen (H, element 1), nitrogen (N, element 7), oxygen (O, element 8), fluorine (F, element 9), and chlorine (Cl, element 17) are all gases at room temperature, and are found as diatomic molecules (H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2). C. Elements Compounds
Ar (argon) HBr (hydrogen bromide) C 3H 8 (propane)
Kr (krypton) HI (hydrogen iodide) C 4H 10 (butane)
Xe (xenon) HCN (hydrogen cyanide)* CO (carbon monoxide)
Rn (radon) H 2S (hydrogen sulfide) CO 2 (carbon dioxide)
Explanation:
This is a reduction half-reaction. Initially, gold exists as
, and after the reaction, it has been converted to elemental gold. To make this possible, three electrons must be added to <span>
. This fits within the definition of reduction reactions, where the reactant gains electrons in the reaction.</span>
