In the reaction of chlorine with calcium, explain which atom is oxidized.

Chemistry
1 answer:
romanna [79]3 years ago
5 0

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:

<em>Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂,</em>

Ca loses 2 electrons and is oxidized to Ca²⁺. (Ca <em>→</em> Ca²⁺ + 2e).

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

Llana [10]

Answer:

I'm feeling nice today so heres the answer

Explanation:

In the portion of the cell membrane shown in the diagram, the arrow indicates the process of active transport.

Explanation:

Active transport is one of the mechanisms of transmembrane transport, which involves the use of energy. The diagram (see image) shows the hydrogen (H⁺) output from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space, through an H⁺ pump —consuming ATP— which represents an active transport process.

The hydrophobic nature of the cell membrane prevents the free passage of hydrosoluble elements or ions, as H⁺, so they require the use of active transport to pass through it.

The other options presented are not correct, because

Respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria.

Diffusion is a passive transport process that does not require energy.

Cellular recognition depends on membrane proteins that act as specific receptors.

Which of the following elements has the strongest ionization energy: Mg or Cl? Define ionization
Mila [183]

Answer:

Cl

Explanation:

The element Cl will have the strongest ionization energy from the given choices. Most non-metals have higher ionization energy compared to metals.

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from the gaseous phase of an atom.

  • As you go from left to right on the periodic table, it increases progressive
  • From top to bottom, the ionization energy reduces significantly.
  • The attractive force between the protons in the nucleus and the electrons plays a very important role.
  • In metals, they have very large atomic radius, the attractive force on the outer electrons is very weak.
  • This is not the case in non-metals

A boy with pneumonia has lungs with a volume of 1.7 L that fill with 0.070 mol of air when he inhales. When he exhales, his lung
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

0.053moles

Explanation:

Hello,

To calculate the number of moles of gas remaining in his after he exhale, we'll have to use Avogadro's law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its number of moles provided that temperature and pressure are kept constant. Mathematically,

V = kN, k = V / N

V1 / N1 = V2 / N2= V3 / N3 = Vx / Nx

V1 = 1.7L

N1 = 0.070mol

V2 = 1.3L

N2 = ?

From the above equation,

V1 / N1 = V2 / N2

Make N2 the subject of formula

N2 = (N1 × V2) / V1

N2 = (0.07 × 1.3) / 1.7

N2 = 0.053mol

The number of moles of gas in his lungs when he exhale is 0.053 moles

What is the IMA of the lever pictured?<br><br><br><br> 0.18<br> 0.20<br> 0.90<br> 5
IceJOKER [234]
<span>The ideal mechanical advantage represents the number of times the input force is multiplied under ideal conditions, that is with no friction. Actual mechanical advantage on the other hand stands for the number of times the input force is multiplied. 
Hence; IMA (ideal mechanical advantage)=Le/Lr
The Lr =0.3 +1.2 = 1.5 and Le= 0.3
       = 0.3/1.5 = 1/5;
therefore the correct answer is 0.2</span>
