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>

<h2> <em>QUESTION</em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>how does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?</em></h2>

<h2> ANSWER:</h2><h3><em>Gases have the high kinetic energy because its particles are far apart from each other and have negligible fprce of attraction whereas liquids have high force of attraction as compared to gases so they have less kinetic energy then gases,and Solids have high force of attraction between its particles because of that its molecules are closely packed ,so solids do not have kinetic </em><em>energy.</em></h3><h2><em>HOPE</em><em> </em><em>IT </em><em>HELPS </em><em>YOU</em></h2>

Which of the following describes metallic character on the periodic table? Question 1 options: A) It increases as you move right
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Metallic character decreases as you move across a period in the periodic table from left to right. This occurs as atoms more readily accept electrons to fill a valence shell than lose them to remove the unfilled shell. Metallic character increases as you move down an element group in the periodic table. This is because electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases, where there is less attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons because of the increased distance between them.

determine the ph of a buffer that is 0.55 M HNO2 and 0.75 M KNO2. tha value of Ka for HNO2 is 6.8*10^-4
Mariana [72]

Answer:

pH = 3.3

Explanation:

Buffer solutions minimize changes in pH when quantities of acid or base are added into the mix. The typical buffer composition is a weak electrolyte (wk acid or weak base) plus the salt of the weak electrolyte. On addition of acid or base to the buffer solution, the solution chemistry functions to remove the acid or base by reacting with the components of the buffer to shift the equilibrium of the weak electrolyte left or right to remove the excess hydronium ions or hydroxide ions is a way that results in very little change in pH of the system. One should note that buffer solutions do not prevent changes in pH but minimize changes in pH. If enough acid or base is added the buffer chemistry can be destroyed.

In this problem, the weak electrolyte is HNO₂(aq) and the salt is KNO₂(aq). In equation, the buffer solution is 0.55M HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + 0.75M KNO₂⁻ . The potassium ion is a spectator ion and does not enter into determination of the pH of the solution. The object is to determine the hydronium ion concentration (H⁺) and apply to the expression pH = -log[H⁺].

Solution using the I.C.E. table:

              HNO₂ ⇄    H⁺   +   KNO₂⁻

C(i)        0.55M       0M      0.75M

ΔC            -x            +x          +x

C(eq)  0.55M - x       x     0.75M + x    b/c [HNO₂] / Ka > 100, the x can be                                    

                                                             dropped giving ...

           ≅0.55M        x       ≅0.75M        

Ka = [H⁺][NO₂⁻]/[HNO₂] => [H⁺] = Ka · [HNO₂]/[NO₂⁻]

=> [H⁺] = 6.80x010⁻⁴(0.55) / (0.75) = 4.99 x 10⁻⁴M

pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(4.99 x 10⁻⁴) -(-3.3) = 3.3

Solution using the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:

pH = pKa + log[Base]/[Acid] = -log(Ka) + log[Base]/[Acid]

= -log(6.8 x 10⁻⁴) + log[(0.75M)/(0.55M)]

= -(-3.17) + 0.14 = 3.17 + 0.14 = 3.31 ≅ 3.3

8. Bring the balloon in contact with the wall. What happens to the charges in the wall?
Ne4ueva [31]

When the charged balloon is brought near the wall, it repels some of the negatively charged electrons in that part of the wall. Therefore, that part of the wall is left repelled.

<u>Explanation</u>:  

  • Balloons don't stick to walls. However, if you rub the balloon on an appropriate piece of material such as clothing or a wall, electrons are pulled from the other material to the balloon.
  • The balloon now as more electrons than normal and therefore has an overall negative charge. Two balloons like this will repel each other.
  • The other material now has an overall positive charge. Because opposite charges attract, the balloon will now appear to stick to the other material. If you didn't rub the balloon first, it's charge would be neutral and it wouldn't stick to the wall.
