4 0

Explanation:

1st one will be cathodic reaction and reduction will occur since electrons are being gained and hydrogen goes from +1 to zero oxidation state.

2nd one will be anodix reaction and oxidation will take place because Iodide ion's oxidation number increases from -1 to 0

Balance the following equation:

Firdavs [7]

Answer: a) $2K_2CrO_4+3Na_2SO_3+10HCl\rightarrow 4KCl+3Na_2SO_4+2CrCl_3+5H_2O$

b) 1 mole of $SO_2$ is produced.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The skeletal equation is:

$K_2CrO_4+Na_2SO_3+HCl\rightarrow KCl+Na_2SO_4+CrCl_3 +H_2O$

The balanced equation will be:

$2K_2CrO_4+3Na_2SO_3+10HCl\rightarrow 4KCl+3Na_2SO_4+2CrCl_3+5H_2O$

Thus the coefficients are 2, 3 , 10 , 4 , 3 , 2 and 5.

b) Oxidation: $2I-^-\rightarrow I_2+2e-^-$

Reduction: $SO_4^{2-}+2e^-+4H^+\rightarrow SO_2+2H_2O$

Net reaction: $2I-^-+SO_4^{2-}+4H^+\rightarrow I_2+SO_2+2H_2O$

When 1 mole of $I_2$ is produced, 1 mole of $SO_2$ is produced.

andre [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) For diatomic gas: Translational motion = 3 and rotational motion = 2

∴ Total (internal energy) = 3 + 2 = 5

b) Translational + Rotational + Vibrational = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6

c) Linear molecule

i) Non linear molecule

ii) Monatomic molecule

Convert the composition of the following alloy from atom percent to weight percent (a) 44.9 at% of silver, (b) 46.3 at% of gold,

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Mass percentage of gold : 33.35%

Mass percentage of silver: 62.80%

Mass percentage of copper : 3.85%

Explanation:

$N=n\times N_A$

Where : N = Number of atoms

n = moles

$N_A=6.022\times 10^{23}$ = Avogadro number

Let the total atoms present in the alloy be 100.

Atom percentage of silver = 44.9%

Atoms of of silver = 44.9% of 100 atoms = 44.9

Atomic weight of silver = 107.87 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 silver atoms = 107.87 g/mol × 44.9 = 4,843.363 g/mol

Atom percentage of gold= 46.3%

Atoms of of gold = 46.3% of 100 atoms = 46.3

Atomic weight of gold = 196.97 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 gold atoms = 196.97 g/mol × 46.3 = 9,119.711 g/mol

Atom percentage of copper = 8.8 %

Atoms of of copper = 8.8% of 100 atoms = 8.8

Atomic weight of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 copper atoms = 63.55 g/mol × 8.8 = 559.24 g/mol

Total mass of an alloy :4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol

Mass percentage of gold :

$\frac{4,843.363 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol}\times 100=33.35 \%$

Mass percentage of silver:

$\frac{9,119.711 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol}\times 100=62.80\%$

Mass percentage of copper :

$\frac{559.24 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol + 559.24 g/mol}\times 100=3.85\%$

We can consider a chemical to be safe if:

slamgirl [31]

We can consider a chemical to be safe if it does not contain any harmful substances such as nitrogen, harmful acids, or even excessive heat. Other chemicals such as the chemicals used in food products like, for example, citric acid, is not so harmful.
Hope this helps! :D
Any questions? Just let me know! I'd be happy to help any way possible.
