vfiekz [6]
I believe the answer is salt. because it is a compound of two distinct elements that can be broken down without changing the properties of substance.
A pure substance is a substance that are made up of only one type of an atom or one type of a molecule. Pure substances may be further broken down into elements and compounds.

What is the oxidation half-reaction for this unbalanced redox equation? cr2o72– + fe2+ → cr3+ + fe3+ cr3+ → cr2o72– cr2o72– → cr
KatRina [158]

Answer:

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

Explanation:

The balanced oxidation half equation is;

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

A redox reaction is actually an acronym for oxidation-reducation reaction. Since the both reactions are complementary, there can't be oxidation without reduction and there can't be reduction without oxidation.

The main characteristic of redox reactions is that electrons are transferred in the process. The number of electrons transferred is usually deduced from the balanced reaction equation. For this reaction, the balanced overall reaction equation is;

Cr2O7^2–(aq) + 6Fe^2+(aq) +14H^+(aq)→ 2Cr^3+(aq) + 6Fe^3+ (aq) + 7H2O(l)

It is clear from the equation above that six electrons were transferred. Thus six Fe^2+ ions lost one electron each in the oxidation half equation as shown in the balanced oxidation half equation above.

[Given] 25.0 g Au

[Solve] moles Au

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of Au - 196.97 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                     \displaystyle 25.0 \ g \ Au(\frac{1 \ mol \ Au}{196.97 \ g \ Au})
  2. [DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units:                                                          \displaystyle 0.126923 \ mol \ Au

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

0.126923 mol Au ≈ 0.127 mol Au
