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.

Consider a bent molecule, such as H2Se, in which the central atom has two lone pairs of electrons. The electronegativities of H
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Based on these values and on consideration of molecular geometry, the H-Se bond can be considered almost _____non-polar___ and the molecule is __polar_____.

Explanation:

Looking at the difference in electro negativity of the two elements; hydrogen and selenium, one may be led to the conclusion that the molecule is nonpolar since the magnitude of electronegative between the two bonding atoms is minimal.

However, electro negativity difference alone is insufficient to determine the polarity of a molecule. The structure of the molecule is also considered. Based on the structure of the molecule, it is expected to have a dipole moment. Hence the molecule is polar.

Why is the melting of ice a physical change?
yan [13]
<span>A physical change basically involves a change in physical properties. Some examples of physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, volume, mass, weight, etc. 

The water melting has changed the shape and therefore it's physical properties, but the chemical nature of the water has not been altered.
So that's why it's a physical change, and not a chemical change.</span>

Calnexin and calreticulin catalyze the removal of the final glucose residue from glycoproteins during the folding process. True
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

A) False.

Glucosidase (not calnexin nor calreticulin) helps to remove glucose residue.

Both calnexin and calreticulin rather have an affinity for last glucose residue of misfolded protein (Only misfolded proteins are marked by glycosyltransferase by attaching glucose residue). They attach with misfolded protein and with the help of other proteins like ERp57 (a type of protein disulfide isomerase) and try to fold it properly. If protein is properly folded then glucosidase removes the glucose residue thereby releasing the properly folded protein from calnexin or calreticulin. and now protein is transported to the Golgi body. If folding is still not proper then the same cycle of glycosylation -binding of calnexin/calreticulin and effort to fold it properly is repeated.

B) True.

Transketolase is a key enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway. It contains thiamine diphosphate (TPP) as a cofactor. it does transfer 2 carbon residue from a ketose to aldose. So, effectively it converts one ketose sugar to aldose with 2 carbonless and aldose to ketose with 2 carbon more.

C) True.

Theoretically, for the evolution of one molecule of oxygen, only 8 photons are required. But in practice, it is known that there are many variants like wavelength and the energy of the photon. The larger the wavelength, like the one which is used in PS1 (more than 700nM), the lesser the energy. Secondly, the energy of the photon is also wasted as heat energy. Because of these factors, more than 8 photons are needed in reality.

D) Wrong.

Fructose 2,6 bisphosphate is a key substrate and affects both the enzymes- phosphofructokinase and fructose bisphosphatase allosterically during gluconeogenesis. It strongly favors the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis by activating phosphofructokinase but it inhibits fructose bisphosphatase. Hence it activates the kinase enzyme while inhibiting the phosphatase and maintains a huge supply of glucose in the system.

E) Wrong.

The Calvin cycle shares similarity with the pentose phosphate pathway as both are involved in the synthesis of sugar (Triose and Ribose). However, it does not share similarity with enzymes of glycolysis (which is primarily focused on the breakdown of glucose) and gluconeogenesis.
