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).

How does atomic hydrogen torch function for cutting and welding purposes​
lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

atomic hydrogen torch utilizes an electric arc whereby two closely - but not touching electrodes - result in the release of powerful electric spark as the current tries to flow through the gap. The gap is filled with hydrogen gas in an atomic hydrogen torch rather than air. The electric arch is split the hydrogen gas molecules into hydrogen atoms (some in plasma form). When the hydrogen atoms land on cooler objects like the metal being welded or cut, they region back to H₂ molecules releasing enormous amounts of heat on the surface. Surface temperatures can reach   4000 °C. The use of hydrogen gas protects the metal being welded from oxidation. Oxidation may compromise the quality of the weld.

What term describes a carbon atom that has four different groups bonded to it?
oee [108]
A carbon which is attached to four different atoms or group of atoms with different environment is called as Chiral Carbon or Asymmetric Carbon.

Non-<span>superimposable:
</span>                                     The mirror image (molecule) of chiral carbon cotaining compounds are Non.Superimposable on each other. They are called enantiomers of each other.

Polarized Light and Chiral Carbon:
                                                       When a polarized light is allowed to fall on either enantiomer of chiral compound, it is rotated other clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Examples:
                Below are three axamples of compounds containing chiral carbon.

2. Calculate the mass of 3.47x1023 gold atoms.
lapo4ka [179]

3.47 x 10^{23} atoms of gold have mass of 113.44 grams.

Explanation:

Data given:

number of atoms of gold = 3.47 x 10^{23}

mass of the gold in given number of atoms = ?

atomic mass of gold =196.96 grams/mole

Avagadro's number = 6.022 X 10^{23}

from the relation,

1 mole of element contains 6.022 x 10^{23} atoms.

so no of moles of gold given = \frac{3.47 X 10^{23}  }{6.022 X 10^{23} }

0.57 moles of gold.

from the relation:

number of moles = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

rearranging the equation,

mass = number of moles x atomic mass

mass = 0.57 x 196.96

mass = 113.44 grams

thus, 3.47 x 10^{23} atoms of gold have mass of 113.44 grams
