<u>Answer:</u> Aluminium is getting oxidized in the given chemical reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

For the given chemical reaction:

2Al(s)+3FeSO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq.)+3Fe(s)

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe

As, aluminium is loosing 3 electrons to form aluminium cation. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Iron is gaining 2 electrons to form iron anion. Thus, it is getting reduced.

Hence, the oxidized species of the given reaction is aluminium.

An ideal gas is in a sealed rigid container. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules depends most on An ideal gas is in
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The temperature of the gas.

Explanation:

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the molecules of a substance are in constant random motion.

If an ideal gas is contained is a sealed rigid container, the average velocity of the gas molecules is dependent of the temperature of the gas.

Recall that temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body.

Calculate the equilibrium constant at 25 ∘C for the reaction Fe(s)+2Ag+(aq)→Fe2+(aq)+2Ag(s)
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

1.7 × 10 ^42

Explanation:

Using Nernst equation

E°cell = RT/nF Inq

at equilibrium

Q=K

E°cell  = 0.0257 /n Ink= 0.0592/n log K

Fe2+(aq)+2e−→Fe(s)     E∘= −0.45 V

Ag+aq)+e−→Ag(s)         E∘= 0.80 V

Fe(s)+2Ag+(aq)→Fe2+(aq)+2Ag(s)

balance the reaction

Fe → Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻  reversing for oxidation E° = 0.45 v

2 Ag⁺ +2e⁻ → 2Ag

n = 2 moles  and K = equilibrium constant

E° cell = 0.80 + 0.45 = 1.25 V

E° cell = (0.0592 / n) log K  

substitute the value into the equations and solve for K

(1.25 × 2) / 0.0592  = log K

42.23 = log K

k = 10^ 42.23

K = 1.7 × 10 ^42

Can someone help me with the questions in the images. if they are correct i will mark as brainliest

(1)

The health of coral colonies

The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

This is because corals are very sensitive to changes in the ocean's properties pH being included. Warmer oceans dissolves more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere hence making the waters slightly acidic. This will affect coral resulting in bleaching. This negatively affects the marine ecosystems since corals are usually at the bottom of the energy pyramid in these ecosystems.

(2)

Chlorofluorocarbons are very harmful to the environment when released into the atmosphere. They damage the ozone layer and therefore allow more UV rays from sunlight to reach the earth’s surface. They also have a  greenhouse effect causing the earth’s atmosphere to warm up. This ultimately leads to global warming and climate change.

(3)

It would allow storm systems to stall in an area

Jets streams are very significant in that they influence weather patterns across the world. They are responsible for the movement of pressure systems and global air cells and their accompanying weather patterns. Because they generally sit in between cold and warm air systems they are significant in moving these air masses around. When they are weak they cause an air system to linger including storms causing excessive flooding in an area.

(4)

Absorb and re-emit infrared radiation.

Produced by human activity

Greenhouse gases do not allow infrared radiation from the earth's surface to escape back to space. Infrared is the electromagnetic wave spectrum responsible for transferring heat energy. Therefore, when left to linger in the atmosphere, they cause the greenhouse effect. This is the reason for global warming.

(5)

Air temperature –, ice

Ocean temperature – ice, a chemical isotope of <em>foraminifera</em>

Carbon dioxide levels – a chemical isotope of <em>foraminifera</em>

Kind of plants – fossilized pollen grains

Rainfall- the rings

Is gasoline evaporated a chemical change
Len [333]
No. The only thing that changed was the looks of the gasoline, not the chemical components.
