Answer:

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized

Which is the larger atom S or Mg

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If one were comparing just the neutral atoms Mg and S, the S atom would be smaller as both elements are in the same period and sulfur is more to the right

In a car engine gasoline is burning to create mechanical energy which of the following statements is true? A. Some energy is los

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Some energy is lost as heat

Explanation:

It is correct to say that as the gasoline is converted to mechanical energy in the automobile engine, some of the energy is lost as heat.

Heat energy is on of the ways energy is lost in any system. The movement of mechanical parts and even the combustion of the gasoline produces heat energy.

These energy are usually lost to the environment.

why is it much easier for group 14 elements to become stable by sharing instead of transferring electrons9

Effectus [21]

Because they are closer to the farther end of the periodic table. Since they are closer to the farther end they don't want to give away their electrons because it would be easier for them to just steal them from other atoms.

The reaction is proceeding at a rate of 0.0080 Ms-1 in 50.0 mL of solution in a system with unknown concentrations of A and B. W

Leokris [45]

Answer:

0.0010 mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

Explanation:

Assume the rate law is

rate = k[A][B]²

If you are comparing two rates,

$\dfrac{\text{rate}_{2}}{\text{rate}_{1}} = \dfrac{k_{2}\text{[A]}_2[\text{B]}_{2}^{2}}{k_{1}\text{[A]}_1[\text{B]}_{1}^{2}}= \left (\dfrac{\text{[A]}_{2}}{\text{[A]}_{1}}\right ) \left (\dfrac{\text{[B]}_{2}}{\text{[B]}_{1}}\right )^{2}$

You are cutting each concentration in half, so

$\dfrac{\text{[A]}_{2}}{\text{[A]}_{1}} = \dfrac{1}{2}\text{ and }\dfrac{\text{[B]}_{2}}{\text{[B]}_{1}}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

Then,

$\dfrac{\text{rate}_{2}}{\text{rate}_{1}} = \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right ) \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right )^{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\text{rate}_{2} = \dfrac{1}{8}\times \text{rate}_{1}= \dfrac{1}{8}\times \text{0.0080 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$} = \textbf{0.0010 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$}\\\\\text{The new rate is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.0010 mol$\cdot$L$^\mathbf{{-1}}$s$^{\mathbf{-1}}$}}$}$

If a horse is at a stop and the. Starts running is the horse accelerating or decelerating?

Feliz [49]

Accelerating, because it’s going from standing still to running, so the speed increases
