Answer:

B. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number decreases.

Explanation:

Reduction is the <em>gain of electrons</em>.

Oxidation number is the charge that an atom <em>appears</em> to have when we count its electrons in a specific way.

Electrons have a negative charge so, if an atom gains electrons, its charge (oxidation number) becomes more negative. The oxidation number decreases.

If electrons are given off, the atom is being oxidized. Loss of electrons is <em>oxidation</em>.

How much heat is released when 10.0 grams of a substance cools 15 degrees? The specific
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Q = 525 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 10 grams

The change in temperature, \Delta T=15^{\circ} C

The specific heat of the substance is 3.5 J/g °C

We need to find the amount of heat released in the process. It can be given by the formula as follow :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=10\ g\times 3.5\ J/g^{\circ} C\times 15^{\circ} C\\Q=525\ J

Hence, 525 J of heat is released.

Predict whether the equilibria I) CH4(g) + H2O(g) ⇀↽ CO(g) + 3 H2(g), ∆H◦ = +206 kJ II) 2 SO2(g) + O2 ⇀↽ 2 SO3(g), ∆H◦ = −198 kJ
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

1. I shifts toward products and II shifts toward reactants.

Explanation:

Hello,

In his case, since the reaction I) is endothermic (positive ∆H°) and the reaction II) is exothermic (negative ∆H°):

- In the first case, the energy is understood as a reactant, so if the temperature increases, heat is added so the reaction will shift rightwards (towards products).

- In the second case, the energy is understood as a product, so if the temperature increases, heat is added so the reaction will shift leftwards (towards reactants).

Therefore, the answer is:

1. I shifts toward products and II shifts toward reactants.

Best regards.
