Answer:

Coefficient of H^{+}(aq) is more than 4

Explanation:

Oxidation: Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)

  • Balance charge: Sn^{2+}(aq)-2e^{-}\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)......(1)

Reduction: Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq)

  • Balance Cr: Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)
  • Balance O and H in acidic medium: Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)
  • Balance charge: Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)+6e^{-}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l).......(2)

[3\times Equation-(1)]+Equation(2) gives balanced equation:

3Sn^{2+}(aq)+Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 3Sn^{4+}(aq)+2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)

So coefficient of H^{+}(aq) is more than 4

Which is a common way for a scientific calculator to show the number below? <br> 8.1 102
Elodia [21]
Answer: 8.1e+2 or 8.1E+2 (in the scientific notation mode), based on that the number given is 8.1 × 10².

Explanation


Scientific calculators use the letter e or E to show the numbers in scientific notation mode.

These are some examples of numbers that require scientific notation and how they are shown.

Number                 Scientific calculator display

6.022 × 10²³           6.022 e+23
5 × 10 -12              5 E -12

So, understanding that your question is about number 8.1 × 10², the scientific calculator could show  8e+2.

Nevertheless, since 8 .1 × 10² is 810, not a long number, if the display is not in scientific notation mode, it could just display just 810,

How much CaCO3 would have to be decomposed to produce 247 g of CaO
vovangra [49]

441 g CaCO₃ would have to be decomposed to produce 247 g of CaO

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

Decomposition of CaCO₃

CaCO₃ ⇒ CaO + CO₂

mass CaO = 247 g

mol of CaO(MW=56 g/mol) :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{247}{56}\\\\mol=4.41

From equation, mol ratio CaCO₃ : CaO = 1 : 1, so mol CaO :

\tt \dfrac{1}{1}\times 4.41=4.41

mass CaCO₃(MW=100 g/mol) :

\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=4.41\times 100\\\\mass=441~g

Please HELP, ASAP! Homework due tomorrow and I need some help.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Ions are atoms with a charge other than zero. In a neutral atom, the number of protons (positively charged particles) in the nucleus equals the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
Atoms can gain or lose electrons (not protons) resulting in a net charge other than zero. Atoms which lose electrons (usually metals) become positively charges, and atoms which gain electrons (usually nonmetals) become negatively charged.

Answer:

Cells are extremely small.

Explanation:

As Mendel describes in this story, cells are so small they cannot normally be seen with the naked eye. ... The total organism remains the same throughout this process, and (usually) has a longer time on earth than any one of its cells.

Which rule for assigning oxidation numbers is correct?
LenKa [72]
Hydrogen is usually –1. This is INCORRECT. The oxidation number for H is +1.
Oxygen is usually –2. This is CORRECT.
A pure group 1 element is +1. This is INCORRECT. It does not follow. This will depend on the other elements and the overall charge.
A monatomic ion is 0. This is INCORRECT. Diatomic ion is 0.
