Answer:It might have 10 neutrons

Reason: This is because an isotope of the same element must have the same number of electrons and protons so it can be assumed that the amount of neutrons can be changed.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.
Masses of atoms are the sum of protons and neutrons. Therefore when the number of neutrons change but protons are the same, then the masses of the atoms change.
isotope 1 has 8 protons , 8 electrons and 8 neutrons.
isotope 2 has 8 protons, 8 electrons and 10 neutrons

mass of isotope 1 is 16
and mass of isotope 2 is 18

Identify the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following electron transfe
Vesna [10]

Answer:

In the given chemical reaction:

Species Oxidized: I⁻

Species Reduced: Fe³⁺

Oxidizing agent: Fe³⁺

Reducing agent: I⁻

As the reaction proceeds, electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺

Explanation:

Redox reaction is a chemical reaction involving the simultaneous movement of electrons thereby causing oxidation of one species and reduction of the other species.

The chemical species that <u><em>gets reduced by gaining electrons </em></u><u>is called an </u><u><em>oxidizing agent</em></u>. Whereas, the chemical species that <u><em>gets oxidized by losing electrons </em></u><u>is called a </u><u><em>reducing agent</em></u><u>.</u>

Given redox reaction: 2Fe³⁺ + 2I⁻ → 2Fe²⁺ + I₂

<u>Oxidation half-reaction</u>: 2 I⁻ +  → I₂ + 2 e⁻                 ....(1)

<u>Reduction half-reaction</u>: [ Fe³⁺ + 1 e⁻ → Fe²⁺ ] × 2

                                   ⇒  2 Fe³⁺ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺       ....(2)

In the given redox reaction, <u>Fe³⁺ (oxidation state +3) accepts electrons and gets reduced to Fe²⁺ (oxidation state +2) and I⁻ (oxidation state -1) loses electrons and gets oxidized to I₂ (oxidation state 0).</u>

<u>Therefore, Fe³⁺ is the oxidizing agent and I⁻ is the reducing agent and the electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺.</u>

If a material mixes readily with water it is identified as
Rama09 [41]
If a material mixes readily with water it is describe as HYDROPHILIC. Hydrophilic substances are water loving molecules, there reaction with water is favorable in term of thermodynamics. This type of substance are usually charged and often have ability to get involve in hydrogen bonding.

How does ur body maintain constant tempature on a hot day?
Lina20 [59]

It knows that when water evaporates, it carries heat energy away with it. 
So your body puts some water out on your skin, and hopes that it will
evaporate.  We call that "perspiring" or "sweating".
