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>.

A mixture of CrBr3 and inert material is analyzed to determine the Cr content. First the mixture is dissolved in water. Then all
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Mass% Cr = 85.5%

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of CrBr3 sample = 0.8409 g

Mass of the AgBr precipitate = 1.0638 g

<u>To determine:</u>

The mass percent of Cr in the sample

<u>Calculation:</u>

The reaction of CrBr3 with silver nitrate results in the precipitation of the bromide ion as silver chloride (AgBr) and Cr as soluble Cr(NO3)2

CrBr3(aq) + 3AgNO3(aq)→ 3AgBr(s) + Cr(NO3)3(aq)

Molecular weight of AgBr =187.77 g/mol

Moles of AgBr precipitated is:

Moles(AgBr)=\frac{Mass(AgBr)}{Mol.wt(AgBr)}=\frac{0.8409g}{187.77g/mol}=0.004478moles

Since 1 mole of AgBr contains 1 mole of Cl, therefore:

# moles of Cl = 0.004478 moles

At wt of Cl = 35.45 g/mol

Mass(Chloride)=moles*at.wt = .004478moles*34.45g/mol=0.1543

Mass%(chloride)=\frac{mass(chloride)}{mass(sample)}*100=\frac{0.1543}{1.0638}*100 = 14.50%

Mass%(Cr) = 100 - 14.50=85.5%

Which gas law has assumptions of a fixed amount and temperature of a gas
romanna [79]
The answer is Boyle's law. Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at a constant absolute temperature.
That is; V α 1/P , at constant temperature and a fixed amount of the gas. 
Such that V= k/P where k is a constant
