Answer:
½O 2 + 2e - + H 2O → 2OH.
Explanation:
Redox reactions - Higher
In terms of electrons:
oxidation is loss of electrons
reduction is gain of electrons
Rusting is a complex process. The example below show why both water and oxygen are needed for rusting to occur. They are interesting examples of oxidation, reduction and the use of half equations:
iron loses electrons and is oxidised to iron(II) ions: Fe → Fe2+ + 2e-
oxygen gains electrons in the presence of water and is reduced: ½O2 + 2e- + H2O → 2OH-
iron(II) ions lose electrons and are oxidised to iron(III) ions by oxygen: 2Fe2+ + ½O2 → 2Fe3+ + O2-
Answer:
This is the typical route of alcohol metabolism, where in the liver it is first transformed to acetaldehyde and then to acetate.
Explanation:
Ethanol is not digested but absorbed and follows its metabolic pathway in the liver, producing in the first instance acetaldehyde, which is the main substance that causes the hangover and then this compound is transformed into the final product, which is acetate Later acetate is metabolized to Acetyl-CoA. The enzyme responsible for the metabolism of ethanol is alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver, and for the cytochrome P-450 dependent system and for catalase in the liver.
Sodium phosphate has a chemical formula
Na2PO4
Calculating the concentration of sodium phosphate given a concentration of sodium ions can be done using dimensional analysis
0.60 moles/L Na+ (1 mole Na2PO4 / 2 moles Na+) = 0.30 moles/L Na2PO4
= .030 M Na2PO4
