What element is being oxidized in the following redox reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
DIA [1.3K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The element that has been oxidized is the N

Explanation:

Zn²⁺(aq) + NH₄⁺(aq) → Zn(s) + NO₃⁻(aq)

See all the oxidation states:

Zn²⁺  → acts with +2

In ammonia, H acts with +1 and N with -3

Zn(s), acts with 0. In all the elements in ground state, the oxidation state is 0.

Zn changed from 2+ to 0. The oxidation number, has decreased.

This element has been reduced.

NO₃⁻ (aq) it's a ion, from nitric acid.

N acts with +5

O acts with -2

The global charge is -1

The N, has increased the oxidation state, so this element is the one oxidized.

In the background, you were given the reactions for the fermentation of glucose to ethanol in the production of wine from grapes
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Kombucha is a Symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY), similar to mother of vinegar, containing one or more specie each of bacteria and yeast which is added to sweet tea, which jump start two processes take place. First, alcoholic fermentation during which the yeast convert sugars to alcohol under controlled conditions. After that, the bacteria converts most of this alcohol into acetic, gluconic and glucoronic and other organic acids. during both of this processes, the yeast and bacteria, feast and multiply, yielding an end beverage that is rich in variety of micro organisms and healthy acids. Source: Health-Ade.com/blog/blog/what-is-fermentation

the products formed is more rich than those of the fermentation of grapes because it is a symbiotic fermentation of yeast and bacteria

Explanation:

Kombucha is fermented slightly alcoholic, lightly effervescent sweetend black or green tea, commonly consumed for its health benefits sometimes the beverage is called kombucha tea to distinguish it from the cultures of bacteria and yeast. Kombucha is thought to have originated in manchuria where the drink is traditionally consumed or in Russia and Eastern Europe.

The atomic symbol Superscript 206 subscript 82 upper P b. represents lead-206 (Pb-206), an isotope that has 82 protons and 124 n
Serggg [28]

Answer:

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb \right.

Explanation:

isotopes are various forms of same elements with different atomic number but different mass number.

Radioactivity is the emission of rays or particles from an atom to produce a new nuclei. There are various forms of radioactive emissions which are

  • Alpha particle emission  \left \{ {{y=4} \atop {x=2}}He \right.
  • Beta particle emission    \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=-1}}e \right.
  • gamma radiation             \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right.

in the problem the product formed after radiation was Pb-206. isotopes of lead include Pb-204, Pb-206, Pb-207, Pb-208. they all have atomic number 82. which means the radiation cannot be ∝ or β since both radiations will alter the atomic number of the parent nucleus.

Only gamma radiation with \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right. will produce a Pb-206 of atomic number 82 and mass number 206 , since gamma ray have 0 mass and has 0 atomic number.equation is shown below

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right ⇒ \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right +  \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ\right.

Thus the atomic symbol is \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right
