First find the oxidation states of the various atoms:
<span>in Cr2O2 2- Cr @ +1; In NH3 N @ +3; in CrO3 Cr @ +3, N2 N @ 0 </span>
<span>Note that N gained electrons, ie, was reduced; Cr was oxidized </span>
<span>Now there is a problem, because B has NH4+ which the problem did not, and is not balanced, showing e- in/out </span>
<span>B.NH4+ → N2 </span>

<span>Which of the following is an oxidation half-reaction? </span>
<span>A.Sn 2+ →Sn 4+ + 2e- </span>
<span>Sn lost electrons so it got oxidized</span>

How many gallons of gasoline that is 5% ethanol must be added to 2,000 gallons of gasoline with no ethanol to get a mixture that

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$V_1= 3000 gal$

Explanation:

We have 3 solutions:

Solution 1 (with ethanol)
Solution 2 (no ethanol)
Final solution

$V_f=V_1 + V_2$

and for the ethanol:

$V_f*0.03=V_1*0.05 + V_2*0$

$V_f=V_1 \frac{5}{3}$

Combining:

$V_1 \frac{5}{3}=V_1 + V_2$

$V_1 \frac{2}{3}= V_2$

$V_1= \frac{3}{2} V_2$

If V2=2000 gal:

$V_1= \frac{3}{2} 2000 gal$

$V_1= 3000 gal$
