Answer:

Option a is the right one

Explanation:

Redox reactions are defined as the reactions where one element is oxidized (so the oxidation state is increased); and another element is reduced (oxidation state decreases). These changes in the oxidations states are defined by a transference of electrons.

When the oxidation state decrease → reduction → the element gains electrons

When the oxidation state increase → oxidation → the element release electrons

What happens as a result of the kinetic energy of the particles in a liquid being comparable with the intermolecular attractions
sdas [7]

Answer : Option D) The particles move enough that they are not fixed in place, and the liquid can flow.

Explanation : The kinetic energy of the particles are allowed to move freely and are in motion when in the liquid state whereas the intermolecular particles can just flow; as the intermolecular attractions between the particles allows the liquid to flow by giving them a force to flow.

Consider the gold isotope 197Au. How many electrons, protons, and neutrons are in a neutral 197Au atom?
tangare [24]

Answer:

The 197Au isotope has 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons

Explanation:

Step 1: The isotope = 197Au

Step 2: Calculate neutrons, electrons and protons

197 = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Isotopes always have the same proton number ( is the same as the atomic number). For Gold (Au) is this 79.

The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom. Since we have 79 protons, there are also 79 electrons.

All isotopes of Au have a different number of neutrons.

The number of neutrons = 197 -79 = 118 neutrons

The 197Au isotope has 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons

Calculate the percentage of each element in acetic acid, hc2h3o2, and glucose, c6h12o6.
My name is Ann [436]
<em>Acetic acid, HC2H3O2</em>

First, calculate for the molar mass of acetic acid as shown below.
    M = 1 + 2(12) + 3(1) + 2(16) = 60 g

Then, calculating for the percentages of each element.
<em> Hydrogen:</em>
    P1 = ((4)(1)/60)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em> Carbon:</em>
   P2 = ((2)(12)/60)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen</em>
  P3 =((2)(16) / 60)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

<em>Glucose, C6H12O6</em>

The molar mass of glucose is as calculated below,
   6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16) = 180

The percentages of the elements are as follow,
 <em> Hydrogen:</em>
   P1 = (12/180)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em>Carbon:</em>
  P2 = ((6)(12) / 180)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen:</em>
  P3 = ((6)(16) / 180)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

b. Since the empirical formula of the given substances are just the same and can be written as CH2O then, the percentages of each element composing them will just be equal.
