An atom has two big parts the nucleus and the electron shell
Answer:
2HClO4 + Ca(OH)2 = Ca(ClO4)2 + 2H2O
Explanation:
Formula for aqueous perchloric acid is; HClO_4 (aq)
Formula for aqueous calcium hydroxide is; Ca(OH)_2 (aq)
Thus chemical equation is;
HClO4 + Ca(OH)2 = Ca(ClO4)2 + H2O
We have to balance it and so we now have;
2HClO4 + Ca(OH)2 = Ca(ClO4)2 + 2H2O
Answer: N (the Nitrogen)
Explanation:
Reduction refers to a decrease in oxidation number/state due to the gaining of electrons. As such the species that is being reduced will show a decrease in oxidation state.
Based on the redox rules,
Zn(s) has oxidation number of 0 [<em>rule 1: the oxidation number of an element in its free (uncombined) state is zero</em>]
Zn²⁺ has oxidation number of +2 [<em>rule 2: The oxidation number of a monatomic (one-atom) ion is the same as the charge on the ion</em>]
Now, since Nitrogen is enbedded in a polyatomic ion in both cases, you have to do a bit a calculation to obtain the oxidation state.
For NO₃⁻ : N + (-2 × 3) = -1
N - 6 = -1
N = 5
<em>[Rule 3: The sum of all oxidation numbers in a polyatomic (many-atom) ion is equal to the charge on the ion; Rule 6: The oxidation state of hydrogen in a compound is usually +1]</em>
<em />
For NH₄⁺ :
N + (4 x 1) = 1
N + 4 = 1
N = -3
[<em>Rule 3: The sum of all oxidation numbers in a polyatomic (many-atom) ion is equal to the charge on the ion; Rule 5: The oxidation number of oxygen in a compound is usually –2]</em>
Therefore, Zn moves from oxidation state of 0 to +2 (oxidation), while N moves from +5 to -3 (reduction).
An inefficient appliance costs less to operate than an efficient one, because it takes more energy to do the same job is "False".
<u>Answer:</u> Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
Energy efficiency is about utilizing less energy consuming appliances than inefficient appliance which consume more energy to do the similar job and support for avoiding high energy bills and unnecessary pollution in the process.
The choice for energy efficiency is "ENERGY STAR LABEL" makes it known to consumers or businesses that a product, home or building is more energy efficient than others on the market.
ENERGY STAR and its partners have managed to save nearly 4 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity from American families and businesses in 2017 and resulted into 3 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas reductions.
Silicate minerals comprise the most common and abundant mineral group on Earth, silicates.
