Answer: The element Na (Sodium) is getting oxidized and Hydrogen is getting reduced.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which addition of oxygen takes place.

Reduction reactions are the reactions in which loss of oxygen takes place.

For a given reaction:

$2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2(g)+2NaOH(aq.)$

Sodium is getting oxidized because there is an addition of reaction with that element.

Hydrogen is getting reduced because there is a removal of oxygen with that element.

What is in an inorganic molecule?

valentinak56 [21]

Inorganic molecules are composed of other elements. They can contain hydrogen or carbon, but if they have both, they are organic.

You are given a solution that is 518 mM lactose. You need to make up 4.5 L of 16.7 mM solution. What volume do you need to trans

OLga [1]

Answer:

The volume you need to transfer from the stock solution is 0.145 l

Explanation:

Since the number of moles of lactose in the volume of stock solution that you transfer will be the same as the number of moles of lactose in the final solution, you can use this expression:

number of moles in volume to transfer = number of moles in the final solution

Since number of moles = concentration * volume (if the concentration is expressed in molarity), then:

Ci * Vi = Cf * Vf

where:

Ci = concentration of the stock solution.

Vi = volume of the stock solution to be transferred.

Cf = concentration of the final solution

Vf = volume of the final solution

Then, replacing with the data:

518 mM * Vi = 16.7 mM * 4.5 l

Vi = 16.7 mM * 4.5 l / 518 mM

Notice that any concentration unit can be used, as long as the units of the concentration of the stock and final solution are the same.

Consider the nuclear equation below. 222/66Rn-->218/?Po+4/2He Which is the missing value that will balance the equation? 84 8

erastovalidia [21]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The nuclear equation shows the decay of Radon-222 by emitting an alpha particle to form polonium-218.
When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha-decay, the mass number is decreased by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
Therefore, the complete nuclear equation is;

²²²₈₆Rn → ²¹⁸₈₄Po + ⁴₂He

The atomic number of Radon-222 decreases from 86 to 84 while the mass number decreases from 222 to 218, forming polonium-218.
