The diameter of a biscuit is approximately 51 millimeters (mm). An atom of bismuth (Bi) is approximately 320. picometers (pm) in

astraxan [27]

Answer:

1.5e+8 atoms of Bismuth.

Explanation:

We need to calculate the <em>ratio</em> of the diameter of a biscuit respect to the diameter of the atom of bismuth (Bi):

$\\ \frac{diameter\;biscuit}{diameter\;atom(Bi)}$

For this, it is necessary to know the values in meters for any of these diameters:

$\\ 1m = 10^{3}mm = 1e+3mm$

$\\ 1m = 10^{12}pm = 1e+12pm$

Having all this information, we can proceed to calculate the diameters for the biscuit and the atom in meters.

<h3>Diameter of an atom of Bismuth(Bi) in meters</h3>

1 atom of Bismuth = 320pm in diameter.

$\\ 320pm*\frac{1m}{10^{12}pm} = 3.20*10^{-10}m$

<h3>Diameter of a biscuit in meters</h3>

$\\ 51mm*\frac{1}{10^{3}mm} = 51*10^{-3}m = 5.1*10^{-2}m$

<h3>Resulting Ratio</h3>

How many times is the diameter of an atom of Bismuth contained in the diameter of the biscuit? The answer is the ratio described above, that is, the ratio of the diameter of the biscuit respect to the diameter of the atom of Bismuth:

$\\ Ratio_{\frac{biscuit}{atom}}= \frac{5.1*10^{-2}m}{3.20*10^{-10}m}$

$\\ Ratio_{\frac{biscuit}{atom}}= \frac{5.1}{3.20}\frac{10^{-2}}{10^{-10}}\frac{m}{m}$

$\\ Ratio_{\frac{biscuit}{atom}}= 1.5*10^{-2+10}$

$\\ Ratio_{\frac{biscuit}{atom}}= 1.5*10^{8}=1.5e+8$

In other words, there are 1.5e+8 diameters of atoms of Bismuth in the diameter of the biscuit in question or simply, it is needed to put 1.5e+8 atoms of Bismuth to span the diameter of a biscuit in a line.

In the oxidation reduction reaction 2FeCl2 + Cl2 = 2FeCl3 what substance is reduced? What substance is oxidized?

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Iron is oxidized while chlorine is reduced.

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reaction:

2FeCl₂ + Cl₂ → 2FeCl₃

in this reaction the oxidation state of iron is increased from +2 to +3. That's why iron get oxidized and it is reducing agent because it reduced the chlorine. The chlorine is reduced from -2 to -3 and it is oxidizing agent because it oxidized the iron.

2Fe⁺²Cl₂⁻²

2Fe⁺³Cl₃⁻³

The iron atom gives it three electrons to three atoms of chlorine and gain positive charge while chlorine atom accept the electron and form anion.
