Answer: It loses electrons to another element.
Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.
Reduction is the process in which an element gains electrons and there is a decrease in the oxidation state.
Answer:
The uranium in the sample of the compound is radioactive
Explanation:
Some atoms can split on their own. Some split when bombarded by energetic particles. Such atoms are said to be radioactive.
Radioactivity is borne out of the drive of an atom to reach stabillity. Every atom have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures stability of the nucleus. A nucleus with a stability ratio different from that which makes it stable will become unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with emissons of energetic particles.
Note: neutrons and protons dictates the mass of an atom. They are located in the nucleus which is the site for nuclear radioactive reactions.
Answer:
Host
Explanation:
Viruses are not alive. They need a living host cell to reproduce.
2 SO₃ --> 2 SO₂ + O₂
I 12 0 0
C -2x +2x +x
---------------------------------------------
E 12-2x 2x x
Since the moles of SO₂ at equilibrium is 3 mol, 2x = 3. Then, x = 1.5 mol. So, the amounts at equilibrium is:
SO₃: 12 - 2(1.5) = 9
SO₂: 2(1.5) = 3
O₂: 1.5
The formula for K basing on the stoichiometric reaction is:
K = [SO₂]²[O₂]/[SO₃]²
where the unit used is conc in mol/L.
K = [3 mol/3 L]²[1.5 mol/3 L]/[9 mol/3 L]²
<em>K = 0.0556</em>
M CH₃COOH: 12u×2 + 1u×4 + 16u×2 =<u> 60u</u>
m 9CH₃COOH: 60u×9 = <u>540u</u>
<em>(1u ≈ 1,66·10⁻²⁴g)</em>
-----------------------------
1u ------- <span>1,66·10⁻²⁴g
