What happens when a metal is reduced. Give an example of a metal being reduced

Chemistry
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The oxidation number of the metal decreases

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

The metal element iron, is reduced from Fe⁺³ in Fe₂O₃ to Fe⁺² in FeO

Explanation:

When an element gains electron, the element becomes reduced, hence when a metal is reduced, the metal gains electrons, which reduces the oxidation number of the metal

An example of a metal being reduced is;

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

In the above reaction, the iron (III) oxide is reduced to iron (II) oxide by aluminium metal.

At high pressures how does the volume of a real gas compare with the volume of an ideal gas under the same conditions and why
malfutka [58]
Answer: No, a<span>t high pressures, volume of a real gas does not  compare with the volume of an ideal gas under the same conditions.

Reason: 
For an ideal gas, there should not be any intermolecular forces of interaction. However, for real gases there are intermolecular forces of interaction like dipole-dipole and dipole-induced dipole. Further, at high pressures, molecules are close by. Hence, extend of these intermolecular forces is expected to be high. This results in decreases in volume of real gas. Thus, </span>volume of a real gas does not  compare with the volume of an ideal gas under the same conditions.

What describes Rutherford’s model of the atom?
HACTEHA [7]
Rutherford's model shows that an atom is mostly empty space, with electrons orbiting a fixed, positively charged nucleus in set, predictable paths. ... It was after this that Rutherford began developing his model of the atom.

What is the complete balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) is heated?
Fed [463]
When heating lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), it will dissociate to Li2O and Co2. So the balanced chemical equation of this reaction is Li2CO3 = Li2O + CO2.
