The metal is being oxidized.

Metals- along with other elements- are neutral and have oxidation state of $0$ in their respective elementary states.

Metal atoms can lose electrons to electronegative elements such as oxygen on exposure. Atoms that have lost one or more negatively-charged electrons are no longer neutral and demonstrate a positive charge. Those atoms have converted to positively charged ions or cations.

Oxidation is the process of losing electrons whereas Reduction refers to the process of gaining electrons. "OIL RIG." Metal atoms here lose electrons and are thus oxidized.

The two methods in the lab for measuring the volume of a geometric solid object are weighing it on the balance and measuring it

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Measuring with a ruler and using final volume minus initial volume

Explanation:

You can measure the volume of a geometric object by measuring its sides with a ruler and calculating the volume according to the corresponding formula for each object. For example, for a rectangular prism it would be

$volume=length*width*height$

You can also measure the volume of an object by measuring how much water it displaces. To do this you have to fill a measuring cylinder with enough water for the object to be completely submerged and take note of the volume. Then, add the object and note again the volume of the water+object. The difference between both is the volume of the object.

$Volume of the object= volume of water and object - volume of water$

The advantage of the second method is that it can be used for objects with irregular shapes as long as they do not float.

The solubility of N2 in blood at 37°C and a partial pressure of 0.80 atm is 5.6 ✕ 10−4 mol·L−1. A deep-sea diver breathes compre

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

0.0126 moles are released

Explanation:

Using Henry's law, where the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid:

S = k×P

Where S is solubility (5.6x10⁻⁴molL⁻¹), k is Henry's constant and P is partial pressure (0.80atm)

Replacing:

5.6x10⁻⁴molL⁻¹ / 0.80atm = 7x10⁻⁴molL⁻¹atm⁻¹

Thus, with Henry's constant, solubility of N₂ when partial pressure is 3.8atm is:

S = 7x10⁻⁴molL⁻¹atm⁻¹ × 3.8atm

S = 2.66x10⁻³molL⁻¹

Thus, when the deepd-sea diver has a pressure of 3.8amt, moles dissolved are:

6.0L × 2.66x10⁻³molL⁻¹ = 0.01596 moles of N₂

At the surface, pressure is 0.80atm and solubility is 5.6x10⁻⁴molL⁻¹, moles dissolved are:

6.0L × 5.6x10⁻⁴molL⁻¹ = 3.36x10⁻³mol

Thus, released moles are:

0.01596mol - 3.36x10⁻³mol = 0.0126 moles are released

A. 1,5,3,4

the 3 and 4 increase the number of oxygens on the right side to 10 so you have to put a 5 in front of the oxygen of the left side to balance it out
