Answer:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Explanation:

Let us consider the complete redox reaction:

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.

  • Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
  • Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
  • An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.

Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2

And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.

Therefore, for this reaction;

Oxidation Half equation is:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Reduction Half equation is:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)

Which would be most suitable for measuring 2.7 mL of ethanol for addition to a reaction with acidified dichromate?
pochemuha

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 10-mL volumeric pipet.

Explanation :

Graduated cylinder : It is a measuring cylinder that is used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape. The marked line drawn on the graduated cylinder shows the amount of liquid that has been measured.

Pipet : It is a type of laboratory equipment that is used to measure the volume of a liquid. It is small glass tube and the marked line drawn on the pipet. It is used to accurately measure and transfer of volume of liquid from one container to another.

Volumetric flask : It is a type of laboratory tool that is also used for measuring the volume of liquid. It is used to make up a solution to a known volume. It measure volumes much more precisely than beakers.

Beaker : It is a type of laboratory equipment that has cylindrical shape and it is used for the mixing, stirring, and heating of chemicals.

As per question, we conclude that the pipet is most precise than other devices because in pipet the marking lines are more accurate. Thus, it can be used to measure volume to precision.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) 10-mL volumeric pipet.

(a) Calculate the total volume (in liters) of air an adult breathes in a day. (b) In a city with heavy traffic, the air contains
Furkat [3]

Answer:

a) V air/day = 8640 L air  an adult breaths / day

b) 0.0181 L CO intake a person / day

Explanation:

a) one average person has 12 breaths for min:

  • P = 12 breath/min

in each breath it take an average  of 500 mL on air.

  • 1 breath ≅ 500 mL air

⇒ 12 breath / min * 500mL air / breath = 6000 mL air / min

the average air volume per day of a person is:

⇒ Vair/day = 6000 mL air / min * (60 min / h) * ( 24 h / day ) = 8640000 mLair / day * ( L / 1000 mL)

⇒ V air / day = 8640 L / day

b) 2.1 E-6 L CO / L air * 8640 L air / day = 0.0181 L CO / day
