Answer:

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

Explanation:

The balanced oxidation half equation is;

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

A redox reaction is actually an acronym for oxidation-reducation reaction. Since the both reactions are complementary, there can't be oxidation without reduction and there can't be reduction without oxidation.

The main characteristic of redox reactions is that electrons are transferred in the process. The number of electrons transferred is usually deduced from the balanced reaction equation. For this reaction, the balanced overall reaction equation is;

Cr2O7^2–(aq) + 6Fe^2+(aq) +14H^+(aq)→ 2Cr^3+(aq) + 6Fe^3+ (aq) + 7H2O(l)

It is clear from the equation above that six electrons were transferred. Thus six Fe^2+ ions lost one electron each in the oxidation half equation as shown in the balanced oxidation half equation above.

Consider a balloon with volume V. It contains n moles of gas and has an internal pressure of P. The temperature of the gas is T.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.6 V.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n is constant, and have different values of P, V and T:

<em>(P₁V₁T₂) = (P₂V₂T₁).</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = V, P₁ = P, T₁ = T.

V₂ = ??? V, ​P₂ = 1.25 P, T₂ = 0.75 T.

<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁T₂)/(P₂T₁) =</em> (P)(V)(0.75 T)/(1.25 P)(T)<em> = 0.6 V.</em>

Which postmortem parameter reaches a maximum at 12 hours and is gone within 36 to 48 hours?1.rigor mortis2.cloudiness of the eye
Olenka [21]
The cloudiness of the eyes increases to a maximum and then decreases. This is because initially, after death, all the muscles relax, dilating the pupil. Some time later, rigor mortis sets in, contracting the pupil. Thus, the cloudiness fades.

When an acid reacts with a base, salt and water is formed! Why??​
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

When n acid reacts with a base , salt and water is formed because when acid reacts with base, it loses its acidic property and base loses its basic property to form a neutral substance like salt and water..
