Oxidation is the Loss of Electrons, and Reduction is the Gain of Electrons
(Remember oil rig - Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain)

Since water loses an electron, it gets oxidised, and since carbon dioxide gains an electron, it gets reduced. 
Since both oxidation and reduction occurs, it is called a Redox reaction

G. Amount of charge required to reduce
Nady [450]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{c) 4 F}}

Explanation:

1. Write the skeleton equation for the half-reaction

NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O

2. Balance all atoms other than H and O

2NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O

3. Balance O by adding H₂O molecules to the deficient side.

2NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O

4. Balance H by adding H⁺ ions to the deficient side.

2NO₃⁻ + 10H⁺ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O

5. Balance charge by adding electrons to the deficient side.

2NO₃⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8e⁻ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O

The amount of charge required to reduce 2 mol of NO₃⁻ is 8 F

\text{The amount of charge required to reduce 1 mol of NO$_{3}^{-}$ is \boxed{\textbf{4 F}}}

When 250 ml of water is added to 35 ml of 0.2 M HCl
Paladinen [302]
Assuming that you’re looking for the concentration of water in the solution, then it would be 0.028 M.

You would have to use the formula:
c1v1 = c2v2, where c =concentration and
v = volume

C1 = ?
V1 = 250 mL
C2 = 0.2 M
V2 = 35 mL

C1 x 250 mL = 0.2 M x 35 mL

C1 = (0.2 M x 35 mL) / 250 mL

C1 = 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl

Therefore, there is 0.028 M of water added to 35mL of 0.2M HCl

The rate of geologic processes can happen quickly or take a long time.
erik [133]

Answer:

Take a long time

Explanation:

Geology is defined as a science mostly concerned with the study of the history of the earth as recorded in different rocks formations.

Geologic processes are events that occur on a geological timescale which may span across many centuries.

The four major geologic process are known to include; impact cratering, volcanism, tectonics, and erosion.

Aluminum and oxygen react according to the following equation: 4Al + 3O2 -> 2Al2O3 In a certain experiment, 4.6g Al was react
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Percent yield: 78.2%

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

<em>4 moles of Al produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃</em>

<em />

To find percent yield we need to find theoretical yield (Assuming a yield of 100%) and using:

(Actual yield (6.8g) / Theoretical yield) × 100

Moles of 4.6g of Al (Molar mass: 26.98g/mol) are:

4.6g Al × (1mol / 26.98g) = 0.1705 moles of Al.

As 4 moles of Al produce 2 moles of Al₂O₃, theoretical moles of Al₂O₃ obtained from 0.1705 moles of Al are:

0.17505 moles Al × (2 moles Al₂O₃ / 4 moles Al) = <em>0.0852 moles of Al₂O₃</em>,

In grams (Molar mass Al₂O₃ = 101.96g/mol):

0.0852 moles of Al₂O₃ × (101.96g / mol) =

<h3>8.7g of Al₂O₃ can be produced (Theoretical yield)</h3>

Thus, Percent yield is:

(6.8g / 8.7g) × 100 =

<h3>78.2% </h3>
