Answer:

The statement is false

Explanation:

Interstellar clouds are not primarily composed of nitrogen and oxygen. Interstellar clouds are generally an made up of gas, plasma, and dust in our and other galaxies.

Answer: False

Explanation:

An interstellar cloud can be defined as the accumulation of gas, plasma and dust in our galaxy or other galaxy.

The composition of interstellar clouds are determined by studying the electromagnetic radiation that is received by radio waves, gamma rays on the electromagnetic spectrum.

When The electromagnetic radiations was studied then organic compounds like vinyl chloride and methanol which was not expected.

Balancing the reaction by oxidation number method k2cr2o7+sncl2+hcl

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + 14 HCl (aq) + 3 SnCl_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2 CrCl_3 (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 SnCl_4 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq)$

Explanation:

The products of this reaction are given by:

$K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + SnCl_2 (aq) + HCl (aq)\rightarrow KCl (aq) + SnCl_4 (aq) + CrCl_3 (aq) + H_2O (l)$

Firstly, dichromate anion becomes chromium(III) cation, let's write this change:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+} (aq)$

The following steps should be taken:

balance the main element, chromium: multiply the right side by 2 to get 2 chromium species on both side:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq)$

balance oxygen atoms by adding 7 water molecules on the right:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

balance the hydrogen atoms by adding 14 protons on the left:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

balance the charge (the total net charge on the left is 12+, on the right we have 6+, so 6 electrons are needed on the left):

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 6e^-\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

Similarly, tin(II) cation becomes tin(IV) cation:

$Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+} (aq) + 2e^-$

Now that we have the two half-equations, multiply the second one by 3, so that it also has 6 electrons that will be cancelled out upon addition of the two half-equations:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 6e^-\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

$3 Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow 3 Sn^{4+} (aq) + 6e^-$

Add them together:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 3 Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 Sn^{4+} (aq)$

Adding the ions spectators:

$K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + 14 HCl (aq) + 3 SnCl_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2 CrCl_3 (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 SnCl_4 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq)$

For the following reactions, write a balanced equation using half-reactions and calculate the voltage to be expected.

Iteru [2.4K]

a) $2Na(s) +2H_2O(I)$ → $2Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)+ H_2(g)$

b) $2Ag (s) +2H^(aq)$ → $2 Ag^+ (aq) +H_2(g)$

<h3>What are half-reactions?</h3>

The half-reaction method is a way to balance redox reactions. It involves breaking the overall equation down into an oxidation part and a reduction part.

$2Na(s) +2H_2O(I)$ → $2Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq)+ H_2(g)$

$E^0 cell = E^0 (reduction) - E^0 (oxidation)$

= $E^0(\frac{H_2O}{H_2}, OH^-) -E^0(Na^+/Na)$

= -0.83 - (-2.71) =1.88V

$2Ag (s) +2H^(aq)$ → $2 Ag^+ (aq) +H_2(g)$

$E^0cell$ = $E^0(H^+/H_2) -E^0(Ag^+/Ag)$

$E^0cell$ =-0. - (0.8) =-0.8V

Who uses holmium? I need to know for a science project.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Holmium can absorb neutrons, so it is used in nuclear reactors to keep a chain reaction under control. Its alloys are used in some magnets. Holmium has no known biological role, and is non-toxic. Holmium is found as a minor component of the minerals monazite and bastnaesite.

Explanation:

this is basically used in industries
