Answer:

2H₂O (liq) + 2e⁻⇒ H₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

In reduction-oxidation reaction two reactions take place, one is oxidation and the other is reduction reaction. In an oxidation reaction, there is the loss of an electron whereas in the reduction reaction there is gain of electron occus.

Reduction reaction occurs on the cathode, in a reduction of water there is gain of 2 electrons to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution. half-reaction for the reduction of liquid water to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution-

2H₂O (liq) + 2e⁻⇒ H₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

<h2>Answer:0.5 moles,1 mole</h2>

Explanation:

$Sr(NO_{3})_{2}$ is readily soluble in water.

$Sr(NO_{3})_{2}$ dissolves in water to give $Sr^{2+}$ ions and $NO_{3}^{-}$ ions.

The reaction is

$Sr(NO_{3})_{2}$ → $Sr^{2+}$ $+2NO_{3}^{-}$

So, $1$ mole of $Sr(NO_{3})_{2}$ gives $1$ mole of $Sr^{2+}$ and $2$ moles of $NO_{3}^{-}$ .

So, $0.5$ moles of $Sr(NO_{3})_{2}$ gives $0.5$ moles of $Sr^{2+}$ and $1$ mole of $NO_{3}^{-}$ .

Find the natural abundance of Si-30.

nataly862011 [7]

<span> First you need to know how many isotopes there are of silicon, and its average atomic units (look at periodic table). Then make up a system of equations to solve for it. Theres 3 stable silicon isotopes (28, 29, 30) so you will need to have 3 equations. You must be given the percent abundance of at least one of the isotopes to solve because here I can only see 2 equations (numbered down below) set x = percent abundance of si-28 y = percent abundance of si-29 z = percent abundance of si-30 since all of silicon atoms account for 100% of all silicon: x + y + z = 100% = 1 therefore: 1) x = 1 - y - z You also have 2) 28x + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass you can substitute x so that equation becomes: 28 (1 - y - z) + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass See how you have 2 variables here? You cant go on until you know the value of one isotope already or you have given a clue which you can derive the third equation</span>

The rows of the periodic table are called groups because similar elements reside next to each other on the modern periodic table

forsale [732]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.
