Land will warm faster/quicker
Answer: N (the Nitrogen)
Explanation:
Reduction refers to a decrease in oxidation number/state due to the gaining of electrons. As such the species that is being reduced will show a decrease in oxidation state.
Based on the redox rules,
Zn(s) has oxidation number of 0 [<em>rule 1: the oxidation number of an element in its free (uncombined) state is zero</em>]
Zn²⁺ has oxidation number of +2 [<em>rule 2: The oxidation number of a monatomic (one-atom) ion is the same as the charge on the ion</em>]
Now, since Nitrogen is enbedded in a polyatomic ion in both cases, you have to do a bit a calculation to obtain the oxidation state.
For NO₃⁻ : N + (-2 × 3) = -1
N - 6 = -1
N = 5
<em>[Rule 3: The sum of all oxidation numbers in a polyatomic (many-atom) ion is equal to the charge on the ion; Rule 6: The oxidation state of hydrogen in a compound is usually +1]</em>
<em />
For NH₄⁺ :
N + (4 x 1) = 1
N + 4 = 1
N = -3
[<em>Rule 3: The sum of all oxidation numbers in a polyatomic (many-atom) ion is equal to the charge on the ion; Rule 5: The oxidation number of oxygen in a compound is usually –2]</em>
Therefore, Zn moves from oxidation state of 0 to +2 (oxidation), while N moves from +5 to -3 (reduction).
The atomic number of an atom (Z) is equal to the number of protons.
The mass number of an atom (A) is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons (N), i.e. A = Z + N
Therefore, N = A - Z = 7 - 3 = 4.
So, this neutral lithium atom has 4 neutrons.
Answer: 4.
Answer:An isotonic solution refers to two solutions having the same osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane. This state allows for the free movement of water across the membrane without changing the concentration of solutes on either side. i hope this helps :) .
