Answer:

The atom is oxidized is Ca.

Explanation:

The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).

The oxidation process is the process in which electrons are lost and produce positively charged ions.

The reduction process is the process in which electrons is gained and negatively charge ions are produced.

In the reaction of chlorine with calcium:

Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂,

Ca loses 2 electrons and is oxidized to Ca²⁺. (Ca → Ca²⁺ + 2e).

Cl is gains 2 electrons in "Cl₂, oxidation state zero" and is reduced to Cl⁻. (Cl₂ + 2e → 2Cl⁻).

Urea, CO(NH2)2, is manufactured on a large scale for use in producing urea-formaldehyde plastics and as a fertilizer. What is th

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

5.004kg

Explanation:

Combustion of carbon

C+O2=CO2

from the relationship of molar ratio

mass of carbon/molar mass of carbon=volume of CO2 produced\molar vol(22.4 dm3)

mass of carbon =1000kg

atomic mass of carbon =12

volume of CO2 produced=1000×22.4/12

volume of CO2 produced =1866.6dm3

from the combustion reaction equation provided

CO2 (g) + 2NH3 (g) ⟶ CO (NH2 )2 (s) + H2 O(l)

applying the same relationship of molar ratio

no of mole of CO2=no of mole of urea

therefore

vol of CO2\22.4=mass of urea/molar mass of urea

molar mass of urea=60.06g/mol

from the first calculation

vol of CO2=1866.6dm3

mass of urea=1866.6×60.06/22.4

mass of urea=5004.82kg

Reaction is

-Dominant- [34]

According to the task, you are proveded with patial pressure of CO2 and graphite, and here is complete solution for the task :
At first you have to find n1 =moles of CO2 and n2 which are moles of C
The you go :
 $CO2(g) + C(s) \ \textless \ =\ \textgreater \ 2CO(g)$

n1 n2 0
-x -x +2x
$n1-x n2-x 2x Kp=P^2 (CO)/Pco2$
After that you have to use the formula $PV=nRT$
$Kp=(2x)^2/n1-x$
Then you have to solve x, and for that you have to use RT/V
And to find total values: $P(total)=n(total)*R*T/V$
I am absolutely sure that this would be helpful for you.

How can the idea that different minerals are formed in different environments provide evidence for energy and matter cycling?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The importance of crystal structure. The graphite-diamond mineral pair is an extreme example of the importance of crystal structure. These two very different minerals have exactly the same chemical formula (C), but the crystal structure of the two minerals is very different. In graphite, carbon atoms are bonded together along a flat plane, as shown in Figure 3.
