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.

Explanation:

Foods produced from or using GM organisms are often referred to as GM foods.

GM foods are developed and marketed because there is some advantage either to the producer or consumer of these GM foods. GM seed developers wanted their products to be accepted by producers and have concentrated on innovations that bring direct benefit to farmers and generally the food industry.

One objective for developing plants based on GM organisms is to improve crop protection. The GM crops currently on the market are mainly aimed at an increased level of crop protection through the introduction of resistance against plant diseases caused by insects or viruses or through increased tolerance towards herbicides.

Resistance against insects is achieved by incorporating into the food plant the gene for toxin production from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. GM crops that inherently produce this toxin have been shown to require lower quantities of insecticides in specific situations, where pest pressure is high.

Determine the mole fractions and partial pressures of CO2, CH4, and He in a sample of gas that contains 1.20 moles of CO2, 1.79
BARSIC [14]

Answer :  The mole fraction and partial pressure of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases are, 0.267, 0.179, 0.554 and 1.54, 1.03 and 3.20 atm respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of CH_4 = 1.79 mole

Moles of CO_2 = 1.20 mole

Moles of He = 3.71 mole

Now we have to calculate the mole fraction of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases.

\text{Mole fraction of }CH_4=\frac{\text{Moles of }CH_4}{\text{Moles of }CH_4+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }He}

\text{Mole fraction of }CH_4=\frac{1.79}{1.79+1.20+3.71}=0.267

and,

\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }CO_2}{\text{Moles of }CH_4+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }He}

\text{Mole fraction of }CO_2=\frac{1.20}{1.79+1.20+3.71}=0.179

and,

\text{Mole fraction of }He=\frac{\text{Moles of }He}{\text{Moles of }CH_4+\text{Moles of }CO_2+\text{Moles of }He}

\text{Mole fraction of }He=\frac{3.71}{1.79+1.20+3.71}=0.554

Thus, the mole fraction of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases are, 0.267, 0.179 and 0.554 respectively.

Now we have to calculate the partial pressure of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases.

According to the Raoult's law,

p_i=X_i\times p_T

where,

p_i = partial pressure of gas

p_T = total pressure of gas  = 5.78 atm

X_i = mole fraction of gas

p_{CH_4}=X_{CH_4}\times p_T

p_{CH_4}=0.267\times 5.78atm=1.54atm

and,

p_{CO_2}=X_{CO_2}\times p_T

p_{CO_2}=0.179\times 5.78atm=1.03atm

and,

p_{He}=X_{He}\times p_T

p_{He}=0.554\times 5.78atm=3.20atm

Thus, the partial pressure of CH_4,CO_2 and He gases are, 1.54, 1.03 and 3.20 atm respectively.

Explain the importance of carbon's ability to form covalent bonds in straight chains, branched chains, or rings.
viktelen [127]
Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.
