How does the oxidation state of O change in the following reaction?

Answer:

Oxygen Doesn't change

However, Li is oxidized (0 to +1), Na is reduced (+1 to 0)

Explanation:

On reactant side, Oxygen has -2 oxidation charge because we know common oxidation states such as oxygen -2, hydrogen +1 etc.

So NaOH, O is -2, H is +1, so Na has to be +1 to equal total charge of compound

In product side, LiOH, again O has to be -2, H is +1, so Li +1 as well..

We see that oxygen oxidation state doesn't change. However, for Li it becomes oxidized going from 0 to +1 whereas, Na is reduced going from +1 to 0.

We get 1700 Tonnes of Ammonia every day. How many tonnes of 63% Nitric acid we can get?

jeyben [28]

There are 3 equations involved in manufacturing Nitric Acid from Ammonia.

First the ammonia is oxidized:
4NH3 + 5O2 = 4NO + 6H2O

Then for the absorption of the nitrogen oxides.
2NO + O2 = N2O4

Lastly, the N2O4 is further oxidized into Nitric acid.
3N2O4 + 2H2O = 4HNO3 + 2NO

Then run stoichiometry through these equations.
The first equation produces roughly 271,722,938 grams of NO
The second equation produces roughly 416,606,944 grams of N2O4
The last equation produces roughly 380,412,294 grams of HNO3 (nitric acid)

Convert the exact number back into tons, and your answer is: <span>419.332775 tons.
</span>
Rounded, I'm going to say that's 419.33 tons.
Hope this helps! :)

Also, it seems that commercially, Nitric Acid is commonly made by bubbling NO2 into water, rather than using ammonia.

What is the total probability of finding a particle in a one-dimensional box in level n = 4 between x = 0 and x = L/8?

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

P = 1/8

Explanation:

The wave function of a particle in a one-dimensional box is given by:

$\psi = \sqrt \frac{2}{L} sin(\frac{n \pi x}{L})$

Hence, the probability of finding the particle in the one-dimensional box is:

$P = \int_{x_{1}}^{x_{2}} \psi^{2} dx$

$P = \int_{x_{1}}^{x_{2}} (\sqrt \frac{2}{L} sin(\frac{n \pi x}{L}))^{2} dx$

$P = \frac{2}{L} \int_{x_{1}}^{x_{2}} (sin^{2}(\frac{n \pi x}{L}) dx$

Evaluating the above integral from x₁ = 0 to x₂ = L/8 and solving it, we have:

$P = \frac{2}{L} [\frac{L}{16} (1 - 4\frac{sin(\frac{n \pi}{4})}{n \pi})]$

$P = \frac{1}{8} (1 - 4\frac{sin(\frac{n \pi}{4})}{n \pi})$

Solving for n=4:

$P = \frac{1}{8} (1 - 4\frac{sin(\frac{4 \pi}{4})}{4 \pi})$

$P = \frac{1}{8} (1 - \frac{sin (\pi)}{\pi})$

$P = \frac{1}{8}$

I hope it helps you!

Which type of relationship exists between Alaskan brown bears and salmon? A. predation B. mutualism C. competition D. commensali

aksik [14]

Answer:

A. predation.

Explanation:

Predation is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism which is known as predator feeds upon another organism thereby killing it. The organism which is killed by predator is known as prey. In such interaction one organism is benefited while another one is harmed.

Brown bears of Alaska feed upon salmon. In order to so they have developed many ways which include waiting at the bottom of falls from where salmons pass by or standing at the bottom of the falls.
