The 28 is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the element silicon.
ALL silicon atoms have 14 protons in the nucleus, so we can turn this into an equation:
#protons + #neutrons = 28
14 + #neutrons = 28
#neutrons = 14
#protons = 14
the oxidation states of the elements before and after the reaction is;
Pb oxidation state changes from 0 to +2
SO₄²⁻ ion there's no change in the oxidation state during the reaction
Au oxidation state changes from +3 to 0
reduction reactions are when there's a decrease in the oxidation state of the species
oxidation reactions are when theres an increase in the oxidation state of the species
the element where there's a decrease in oxidation state is Au.
Therefore Au gets reduced.
answer is B) Au
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A solution whose constituent particles are uniformly distributed in the solution is known as a homogeneous solution.
In a homogeneous solution, particles of one solute completely dissolves in the solvent. This solution is also known a true solution.
When sand and water are mixed together then after a certain interval of time sand particles will settle at the bottom. Therefore, they do not dissolve in water. So, it is not a homogeneous solution.
When salt and water are mixed together then the salt particles will dissolve in water. Therefore, it is a homogeneous solution.
Salad dressing is not a homogeneous solution as it contains different solutions like oil, lemon juice etc which does not dissolve when mixed together.
On the other hand, soil is also not a homogeneous solution because we can visualize the distinct layers present in a soil. These layers when mixed in a solution does not dissolve so they did not form a homogeneous solution.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, salt and water is a homogeneous mixture.
We are going to use table salt, NaCl as an example.
(s) = solid, eg the salt you put on your food is a crystalline solid.
(l) = liquid, if you melt salt it take on a liquid form
(g) = gaseous, if you put enough energy in the salt will turn into a gas.
(aq) = aqueous, meaning in water or another solvent. If you put some table salt in water and stir it, it will dissolve, the NaCl molecules dont get destroyed but they dissolve becoming part of the liquid.
Electrons - they are the particles that determine the chemical properties of an element
