Answer:
The oxidizing agent is the MnO₄⁻
Explanation:
This is the redox reaction:
10 I⁻ (aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻ (aq) + 16 H⁺ (aq) → 5 I₂ (s) + 2 Mn²⁺ (aq) + 8 H2O (l)
Let's determine the oxidation and the reduction.
I⁻ acts with -1 in oxidation state and changes to 0, at I₂.
All elements in ground state has 0 as oxidation state.
As the oxidation state has increased, this is the oxidation, so the iodide is the reducing agent.
In the permanganate (MnO₄⁻), Mn acts with +7 in oxidation state and decreased to Mn²⁺. As the oxidation state is lower, we talk about the reduction. Therefore, the permanganate is the oxidizing agent because it oxidizes iodide to iodine
But nitrogen is inert at room temperature whereas chlorine is highly reactive, the reason is: Nitrogen exists as N triple bond N at room temperature while chlorine exists as Cl single bond Cl at room temperature. Since the bond dissociation energy of triple bond is larger than that of single bond.
The suggested answers are for K=298 degrees and the nearest correct answer seems to be increase the room temperature by 22 degrees Fahrenheit. But by calculation, for 300 K, then convert 300k to degrees Celsius = 300-273.15=26.85 degrees celsius. Then convert the 26.85 to degrees F, so F=9/5C + 32= 48.33+32=80.33-55F (present room temperature)=25.33 degrees F to increase the room temperature by.
Zinc's most abundant isotope : Zinc-65
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.
So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)
Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes
In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu
Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%
To decide zinc's most abundant isotope, then choose the closest mass number
or we can check the difference with the average mass number, if the value is the smallest, then that isotope has the largest abundant
The closest = Zinc-65(the smallest)
Answer 1
The sample will dissolve in more than 1 minute.
Explanation :-
Generally Solubility and rate of solubility of substances increase with the increase in temperature. So lower the temperature less fast will it dissolve in the same amount of water.
Since at 50 C it takes 1 minute to dissolve, at 20 C which is lower temperature it will take more time to dissolve.
Answer 2
Transition metals
Explanation:-
Hardness depends on the extent of metallic bonding for metals. More the number of electrons more the metallic bonding.
Alkali metals with just 1 valence electron have weak metallic bonding. Alkaline earth metals have just 2 valence electrons. Transition elements has more electrons in penultimate shell and valence shell than lanthanides. Transition metals with most metallic bonding are the hardest
