Answer:

C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.

Explanation:

Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.

Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.

For example

Cl + e- → Cl⁻

The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.

Explanation:

Copper, because it is the only metal out of all of them.

Therefore copper is the only element that can loose electrons to have a positive charge, it is the most likely to become a cation.

If the reduction reaction has a reduction potential of 0.1 V, and the oxidation reaction has a reduction potential of -0.4V, and

aleksley [76]

Answer : The value of ΔG expressed in terms of F is, -1 F

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

or,

$E^o=E^o_{reduction}-E^o_{oxidation}$

$E^o=(0.1V)-(-0.4V)=+0.5V$

Now we have to calculate the standard cell potential.

Formula used :

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons = 2

F = Faraday constant

$E^o$ = standard e.m.f of cell = +0.5 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

$\Delta G^o=-(2\times F\times 0.5)$

$\Delta G^o=-1F$

Therefore, the value of ΔG expressed in terms of F is, -1 F

for the given reaction, what volume of o2 would be required to react with 4.8 l of co , measured at the same temperature and pre

SVEN [57.7K]

We can see that 2 moles of The no react with 1 mole of O2 using this equation. 4.8 L NO x 1 L O2 / 2 L NO = 2.4 L of O2 are needed at constant pressure and temperature.

What is an example of pressure?

One can see a simple illustration of pressure by using a knife against a few fruit. If you press the flat side of the knife against the fruit, the top won't be cut. The force is spread more than a wide area (low pressure).

What are different types of pressure?

The physical pressure exerted to an object is referred to as pressure. Per unit area, a parallel force is applied to the surface of the objects. F/A (Force per Area) is the basic formula for pressure.

Bauxite is an ore that contains the element aluminum. If you obtained 108 grams of aluminum from an ore sample that initially we

Stels [109]

Answer:

53% aluminium is present.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of aluminium in bauxite = 108 g

Total mass of sample = 204 g

Percentage of aluminium = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percentage = Mass of aluminium / total mass of sample× 100

Now we will put the values in formula:

Percentage = 108 g/204 × 100

Percentage = 0.53 × 100

Percentage = 53%

So in given 204 g of bauxite there is 53% aluminium is present.
