Answer:
1) SO₄
²⁻ : (+6)
H₂S : (-2)
Explanation:
a) <u>Sulfate reducers</u> are widespread in muds and other sediments, water-logged soils, etc., environments that contain SO₄ ²⁻ and become anoxic as a result of microbial decomposition.
Sulfate (SO₄ ²⁻), the most oxidized form of sulfur (+6), <u>is reduced</u> by these
sulfate-reducing bacteria. The end product of sulfate reduction is hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, (oxidation number -2) an important natural product that participates in many biogeochemical processes. The H₂S they generate is responsible for the pungent smell (like that of rotten eggs) often encountered near coastal ecosystems. When sulfate-reducing bacteria grow, the H₂S formed from SO₄ ²⁻ reduction combines with the ferrous iron to form black, insoluble ferrous sulfide, which is not toxic. This is important for the conservation of the environment.
b) The net ionic equation under acidic conditions is:
4 H₂ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺ → HS⁻ + 4 H₂O
Global reaction: SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ → H₂S + O₂
The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and
nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:
C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22
H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25
N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22
Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:
C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5
N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
So the empirical formula is:
CHN
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Electrons are conserved in a chemical equation.
The superscript of 
indicates that each of these ions carries a charge of 
. That corresponds to the shortage of one electron for each 
ion.
Similarly, the superscript 
on each 
ion indicates a shortage of three electrons per such ion.
Assume that the coefficient of (among the reactants) is 
, and that the coefficient of (among the reactants) is 
.
.
There would thus be silver (
) atoms and aluminum (
) atoms on either side of the equation. Hence, the coefficient for 
and 
would be 
and 
, respectively.
.
The ions on the left-hand side of the equation would correspond to the shortage of electrons. On the other hand, the 
ions on the right-hand side of this equation would correspond to the shortage of 
electrons.
Just like atoms, electrons are also conserved in a chemical reaction. Therefore, if the left-hand side has a shortage of electrons, the right-hand side should also be electrons short of being neutral. On the other hand, it is already shown that the right-hand side would have a shortage of electrons. These two expressions should have the same value. Therefore, 
.
The smallest integer and that could satisfy this relation are 
and 
. The equation becomes:
.
it is water energy :) this is easy
