PLEASE HELP ME!

Chemistry
1 answer:
uysha [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

1) reduction

2) zero

Explanation:

Let us look at the definition of oxidation and reduction in a nutshell.

Oxidation is electron loss(oxidation number is increased)

Reduction is electron gain(oxidation number is decreased)

With the above definitions in mind let us look again at the equation in question 1:

Br2 + 2e- → 2Br-

We can see that the bromine molecule gained two electrons. Oxidation number decreased from zero on the left hand side of the reaction equation to -1 on the right hand side of the reaction equation hence the equation represents a reduction half equation.

For question 2, silver was displaced from its salt. On the left hand side of the reaction equation, silver had an oxidation number of +2. But remember than one of the riles for determining oxidation number of species is that the oxidation number of an uncombined element is zero. Hence, the oxidation number of silver element on the right hand side of the reaction equation is zero.

What is the change in the freezing point of water when 35.0 g of sucrose is
frez [133]

From the calculations, we can see that, the change in the freezing point is -0.634°C.

<h3>What is freezing point?</h3>

The term freezing point refers to the temperature at which a liquid is changed to solid.

Given that;

ΔT = K  m i

Number of moles sucrose = 35.0 g/ 342.30 g/mol = 0.1 moles

molality =  0.1 moles/ 300.0 * 10^-3 Kg

= 0.33 m

Thus;

ΔT = -1.86°C/mol *  0.33 m * 1

= -0.634°C

How is the periodic law demonstrated in halogens
inn [45]
Halogens is defined as the group of 7 periodic table. As, every periodic table contains 7 valence electrons and they only need 1 more to complete an outer shell, that is why they are extremely reactive. And according to the law that recurring patterns of the properties of elements arise when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. As the halogen all act very similarly with each other in chemical reaction, it is true.

Chemistry, please help! Thanks.
Ilya [14]

Answer:

d. The gold(III) ion is most easily reduced.

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are

Au³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au;   1.50 V

Hg²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg; 0.85 V

Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Zn; -0.76 V

Na⁺ + e⁻     ⟶ Na; -2.71 V

A <em>more positive voltage</em> means that there is a <em>stronger driving force</em> for the reaction.

Thus, Au³⁺ is the best acceptor of electrons.

Reduction Is Gain of electrons and, Au³⁺ is gaining electrons,  so

Au³⁺ is most easily reduced.

When an ionic compound dissolves in water: When an ionic compound dissolves in water: the solvent-solute attractive forces overc
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

each of the above (A, B, and C) occurs

Explanation:

When an ionic compound dissolves in the water, the following happens :

-- the solvent solute attractive forces tries to overcome the solute solute attractions.

-- the water dipoles' negative end attracts the positive ions

--  the water dipoles' positive end attracts the negative ions

For example,

NaCl which is an ionic compound and also a strong electrolyte, it dissociates into water on the hydrated Na cations as well as Cl anions.

In water, the oxygen has negative charge and thus attracts the positive ions of the sodium, whereas the hydrogen is of positive and it attract the ions of chlorine which is negative.
