Redox reactions can be written as two half-reactions, focusing on the gain or loss of electrons by one of the chemical substance

s. One half-reaction shows the oxidation while the other shows the reduction. When the two half-reactions are combined, the overall reaction is obtained.The half-reactions can aid in the balancing of redox equations because the number of each element must be balanced as well as the number of electrons gained and lost. What substance is added to balance the hydrogen in a half-reaction?
A. H₂O₂
B. H₂O
C. H⁺
D. H₂

Answer:

C) H⁺

Explanation:

When we are balancing the reaction<em> in an acid medium</em>, hydrogen is balanced using the <u>H⁺</u> species. This is most likely the intended answer of your question.

When the reaction takes place not in an acid medium, but in <em>an alkaline one</em>, then hydrogen is present as the OH⁻ species. However this option is not given in your question.

Thus the answer is option C).

A 10 gram sample of iron reacts with oxygen to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide. How many grams of oxygen reacted?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.2 \ grams}}

Explanation:

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants.

  • mass products = mass reactants

In this problem, the reaction is:

iron + oxygen = ferric \ oxygen

  • The reactants are iron and oxygen. We know the mass of the iron sample is 10 grams.
  • The product is ferric oxide. The mass of the ferric oxide sample is 18.2 grams.

10 \ g + oxygen=18.2 \ g

We want to find how many grams of oxygen reacted. We have to get the oxygen by itself. 10 is being added to oxygen. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation.

10 \ g - 10 \ g+ oxygen = 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g

oxygen= 18.2 \ g - 10 \ g

oxygen= 8.2 \ g \\

<u>8.2 grams of oxygen </u>reacted with 10 grams of iron to form 18.2 grams of ferric oxide.

At a pressure of 650 kpa 2.2L of hydrogen is used to fill a balloon to a final pressure of 115 kpa. What's the balloons volume?
Alborosie

Answer:

V₂ = 12.43 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial pressure = 650 KPa

Initial volume = 2.2 L

Final pressure = 115 KPa

Final volume = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boyles law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

650 KPa ×2.2 L = 115 KPa × V₂

V₂ = 1430 KPa. L/ 115 KPa

V₂ = 12.43 L

What is the barycenter of the moon and the earth​
kirill [66]

Answer:

The barycenter is the point in space around which two objects orbit. For the Moon and Earth, that point is about 1000 miles (1700 km) beneath your feet, or about three-quarters of the way from the Earth's center to its surface.

What is the smallest particle representing water?
horrorfan [7]
Water is a compound that is made up of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, therefore the smallest particle of water is water molecule. The smallest particle representing water is written as H2O. H2O is the smallest unit to which water can be split while still retaining the properties of water.

What does carbon dioxide have to do with global warming
Contact [7]
A layer of greenhouse gases – primarily water vapor, and including much smaller amounts of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide – acts as a thermal blanket for the Earth, absorbing heat and warming the surface to a life-supporting average of 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius).
