C. Energy is released by the reaction

Explanation:-

An exothermic reaction is one in which during the progress of the reaction heat is evolved.

So energy is released by the reaction.

It cannot be created as energy is neither created nor destroyed as per the Law of conservation of energy. Energy is not transferred either.

The energy released during the progress of the reaction originates from the chemical bonds of the reactants as they break during their conversion into products.

Consider an atom having four distinct energy levels. If an electron is able to make transitions between any two levels, how many

Kryger [21]

Energy levels are the electron shells where electrons are found at a fixed distance from the nucleus of the atom. The atom could emit 6 different wavelengths.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

A wavelength is a distance between the adjacent crests in wave signals propagated in a system. Wavelength $(\rm \lambda )$ is in inverse relation to the frequency of the wave.

When an electron jumps from energy level 1 to 2, 1 to 3, and 1 to 4 one wavelength each is present. Hence, making the total wavelength to be 3, in transition from the first energy level.

Similarly, from energy levels, 2 to 3 and 2 to 4, a total of 2 wavelengths, and from energy levels 3 to 4 one wavelength is produced.

So the total different wavelengths of the radiation that can be emitted will be 3 + 2 + 1 = 6.

Therefore, 6 different wavelengths of radiation will be emitted by the atom.

Explain how the shorelines can affect the weather, in one to two sentences

defon

Answer:

Global warming causes sea-level rise as oceans expand, and makes storm patterns more energetic. Consequently it will affect most of the world's coastlines through inundation and increased erosion.

Only the _____ word in an organism's complete scientific name has its first letter capitalized

dimaraw [331]

Only the first word in an organism's complete scientific name has its first letter capitalized.

When writing out the organism's scientific name, it goes Genus and then species. The Genus is always capitalized and species is always lowercase. Also when writing the name, usually you either write it in italics or underline the scientific name.

If i have 8 L of 0.25 M solution, how many miles of MgCl2 are present

qaws [65]

Answer:

2 moles

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

Molarity = 0.25 M

Volume = 8L

Mole =?

Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of solution. It is represented mathematically as:

Molarity = mole of solute/Volume of solution.

With the above equation, we can easily find the number of mole of MgCl2 present in 8 L of 0.25 M MgCl2 solution as follow:

Molarity = mole of solute/Volume of solution.

0.25 = mole of MgCl2 /8

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Mole of MgCl2 = 0.25 x 8

Mole of MgCl2 = 2 moles

Therefore, 2 moles of MgCl2 are present in 8 L of 0.25 M MgCl2 solution

Under standard-state conditions, which of the following species is the best reducing agent? a. Ag+ b. Pb c. H2 d. Ag e. Mg2+

eimsori [14]

Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which help the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. They undergo oxidation reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

For determination of reducing agents, we will look at the oxidation potentials of the substance. Oxidation potentials can be determined by reversing the standard reduction potentials.

For the given options:

Option a: $Ag^+$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +1 is the most stable oxidation state of silver.

Option b: $Pb$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Pb^{2+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.13 V

$Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{(Pb/Pb^{2+})}=+0.13V$

Option c: $H_2$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $H^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.0 V

$H_2\rightarrow 2H^++2e^-;E^o_{(H_2/H^{+})}=0.0V$

Option d: $Ag$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Ag^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is -0.80 V

$Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-;E^o_{(Ag/Ag^{+})}=-0.80V$

Option e: $Mg^{2+}$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +2 is the most stable oxidation state of magnesium.

By looking at the standard oxidation potential of the substances, the substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get oxidized and will undergo oxidation reaction. Thus, considered as strong reducing agent.

From the above values, the correct answer is Option b.
