Answer: The half-reaction correctly shows the oxidation of iron $Fe\rightarrow Fe^{2+}+2e^-$

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

The oxidation of iron is represented as:

$Fe\rightarrow Fe^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

The reduction of iron is represented as:

$Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

An experiment was conducted to see which metal pot would be better for cooking food quickly. The table below shows how quickly s

KengaRu [80]

Answer : It is a conclusion.

Explanation:

Conclusion: It is a judgement or decision which can be attained by reasoning.

From the observation table given we can conclude that :

Aluminum ,bronze and steel took 27,45 and 80 seconds to melt small piece of wax respectively which means that more time will be required by them to transfer heat to the food while cooking. Hence, food will take more time to cook in them.

Copper took less time of 15 seconds to melt the small piece of wax in comparison to other metal pots which means that it is a good conductor of heat in comparison to other. Hence, copper pot would be better for cooking food quickly.

After analyzing the observations and results in an experiment conclusion was made that copper pots are best for cooking foods.

what is the balanced equation when copper metal is placed in a solution when platnium ii chloride is placed. what is the equatio

koban [17]

Answer:

$Cu~+~PtCl_2->Pt~+~CuCl_2$

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the formula of Platinum (II) Chloride. The cation is the atom at the left of the name (in this case $Pt^+^2$ ) and the anion is the atom at the right of the name (in this case $Cl^-$ ). With this in mind, the formula would be $PtCl_2$ .

Now, if we used metallic copper we have to put in the reaction only the copper atom symbol $Cu$ . So, we have as reagents:

$Cu~+~PtCl_2->$

The question now is: What would be the products? To answer this, we have to remember "single displacement reactions". With a general reaction:

$A~+~BC->AB~+~C$

With this in mind, the reaction would be:

$Cu~+~PtCl_2->Pt~+~CuCl_2$

I hope it helps!

svlad2 [7]

A second order reaction varies with the square of the concentration of the reactant. Therefore, halving the concentration will reduce the rate of reaction by a factor of 4.
The answer is E.
