<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.

Why might an idea or hypothesis be discarded? A. If another scientist doesn't like it. B. If evidence also supports another hypo
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

C. If it is tested and the evidence does not support it.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is more less a scientific guess. Before such a guess or prediction is made, empirical observations and deductions are first made. It is from the result of the observations that a hypothesis statement is made.

For a hypothesis to become widely adopted and accepted, it must be testable within the limits of the experiment as described by the proposer. When subjected to test and it agrees, the status of a hypothesis can be upgraded.

If the hypothesis is tested and evidence contrasts the result being sort for, a hypothesis will be discarded.

Can someone help me please??
Xelga [282]

41) Answer is: the average atomic mass of chromium is 52.056.

Ar(⁵⁰Cr) = 50.

ω(⁵⁰Cr) = 4.34% ÷ 100%.

ω(⁵⁰Cr) = 0.0434; relative abundance of chromium-50.

Average mass can calculate by summary of percentege of each isotope.

Ar(Cr) = Ar(⁵⁰Cr) · ω(⁵⁰Cr) + Ar(⁵²Cr) · ω(⁵²Cr) + Ar(⁵³Cr) · ω(⁵³Cr) + Ar(⁵⁴Cr) · ω(⁵⁴Cr).

Ar(Cr)= 50 · 0.0434 + 52 · 0.8379 + 53 · 0.095 + 54 · 0.0237.

Ar(Cr) = 2.17 + 43.571 + 5.035 + 1.280

Ar(Cr) = 52.056.

42) Chlorine has atomic number 17, it means it has 17 protons and 17 electrons.

Electron configuration of chlorine atom: ₁₇Cl 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.

Chloride is negative ion of chlorine. Chloride is formed when chlorine gain one lectron.

Chloride anion has 17 protons and 18 electrons (like argon-noble gas).

The electron configuration for the chloride ion: ₁₇Cl⁻ 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶.

43) Anwser is: the percent by mass of hydrogen in aspirin is 4.48%.

% calculate by atomic mass of element multiply number of that element in molecule divided by molecular mass of molecule.

Ar(H) = 1.008; the relative atomic mass of hydrogen atom.

Mr(C₉H₈O₄) = 9 · Ar(C) + 8 · Ar(H) + 4 · Ar(O).

Mr(C₉H₈O₄) = 180.157.

ω(H)= 8 · Ar(H) ÷ Mr(C₉H₈O₄) · 100%.

ω(H) = 8 · 1.008 ÷ 180.157 · 100%.

ω(H) = 4.48 %.

44) Balanced chemical reaction:

Cd(NO₃)₂ + 2NH₄Cl → CdCl₂ + 2NH₄NO₃.

This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations (Cd²⁺ and NH₄⁺) and anions (NO₃⁻ and Cl⁻) of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.

Cd(NO₃)₂ is cadmium nitrate.

NH₄Cl is amonium chloride.

CdCl₂ is cadmium chloride.

NH₄NO₃ is ammonium nitrate.

A. How many protons, electrons, and neutrons make up an atom
mestny [16]

Answer:

45 neutrons

Explanation:

Bromine has 35 protons and a mass number of 80. a) How many neutrons does the atom of bromine have? The mass number = protons + neutrons. Bromine has a mass number of 80 and 35 protons so 80-35 = 45 neutrons.
