Answer:

Oxygen is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced.

Explanation:

Let's consider the redox reaction during the electrolysis of water in an electrolytic cell.

2 H₂O ⇒ 2 H₂ + O₂

The corresponding half-reactions are:

2 e⁻ + 2 H₂O ⇒ H₂ + 2 OH⁻

2 H₂O ⇒ O₂ + 4 H⁺ + 4 e⁻

Oxygen is oxidized since its oxidation number increases from -2 to 0.

Hydrogen is reduced since its oxidation number decreases from +1 to 0.

What is the ratio between the coefficients of any two substances in a balanced equation?
ICE Princess25 [194]
In a balanced chemical equation, we have two numbers that indicate two different factors. The definitions of these numbers are as follows:

1- Molar ratio: This ratio represents the ratio between the number of moles of any two substances in the balanced equation

2- The coefficients in the balanced chemical equation: These numbers represent the numbers of particles of each of the substances taking place in this chemical equation.

A solid reactant is placed into a beaker of a warm water. The liquid vigorously bubbles as the solid dissolves into the solution
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Fewer bubbles will be produced because of fewer collisions of reactant molecules

Explanation:

As the solid dissolves into the solution after the liquid has been vigorously bubbled, if the temperature of the liquid is reduced a little, what will happen is that fewer bubbles will be produced as a result of lesser amount of collisions occurring between the reactant molecules

If the same amount of heat is added to 25.0 g of each of the metals, which are all at the same initial temperature, which metal
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The bismuth sample.

Explanation:

The specific heat c of a substance (might not be a metal) is the amount of heat required for heating a unit mass of this substance by unit temperature (e.g., \rm 1\; ^{\circ}C.) The formula for specific heat is:

\displaystyle c = \frac{Q}{m \cdot \Delta T},

where

  • Q is the amount of heat supplied.
  • m is the mass of the sample.
  • \Delta T is the increase in temperature.

In this question, the value of Q (amount of heat supplied to the metal) and m (mass of the metal sample) are the same for all four metals. To find \Delta T (change in temperature,) rearrange the equation:

\displaystyle c \cdot \Delta T = \frac{Q}{m},

\displaystyle \Delta T = \frac{Q}{c \cdot m}.

In other words, the change in temperature of the sample, \Delta T can be expressed as a fraction. Additionally, the specific heat of sample, c, is in the denominator of that fraction. Hence, the value of the fraction would be the largest for sample with the smallest specific heat.

Make sure that all the specific heat values are in the same unit. Find the one with the smallest specific heat: bismuth (\rm 0.123 \; J \cdot g\cdot \,^{\circ}C^{-1}.) That sample would have the greatest increase in temperature. Since all six samples started at the same temperature, the bismuth sample would also have the highest final temperature.

What evidence supports a conservation law? 6 CO2 → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 CO2 6 H2O light → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 H2O light → C6H12O6 6 O2 6 CO
docker41 [41]

The law of conservation has been stated that the mass and energy has neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

The law of conservation has been evident when there has been an equal number of atoms of each element in the chemical reaction.

<h3>Conservation law</h3><h3 />

The given equation has been assessed as follows:

  • \rm 6\;CO_2\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The reactant has absence of hydrogen, while hydrogen has been present in the product. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;+\;6\;CO_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Light\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The number of atoms of each reactant has been different on the product and the reactant side. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;6\;H_2O\;+\;Light\;\rightarrow\;C_6H_1_2O_6

The reactant has the presence of carbon, while it has been absent in the reactant. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.

  • \rm 6\;O_2\;+\;6\;CO_2\;\rightarrow\;3\;C_6H_1_2O_6\;+\;3\;O_2

The product has the presence of hydrogen, while it has been absent in the reactant. Thus, the reaction will not follow the law of conservation.
