Answer:

Explanation:

B is for photosynthesis, C and D are just energy conversions, A is all about producing energy and stored as Adenosine Triphosphate(ATP) which is respiration

Describe one experiment that could be carried out to determine which chemical reaction, decomposition, dimerization, or racemiza

mash [69]

Answer:

Thermal decomposition

Explanation:

The thermal decomposition of amino acids could be carried out at different temperatures and at fixed pressure in a reactor. The effect of temperature on products and pathway could be determined by using time as a function. The hydrothermal decomposition of amino acids takes two key paths

1. The delamination of amino acids to produce ammonia and organi acids

2. The decarboxylation to produce amines and carbonic acids.

The thermal decomposition is and effective experiment that could determine the chemical reaction rate and order of reaction, since it's working with time.

Use the changes in oxidation numbers to identify which atom is oxidized, reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent. 5

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Reaction A:

Hydrogen atoms in H₂ are oxidized.
Oxygen atoms in O₂ are reduced.
Hydrogen gas H₂ is the reducing agent.
Oxygen gas O₂ is the oxidizing agent.

Reaction B:

Oxygen atoms in KNO₃ are oxidized.
Nitrogen atoms in KNO₃ are reduced.
Potassium nitrate (V) KNO₃ is both the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.

Explanation:

When an atom is oxidized, its oxidation number increases.
When an atom is reduced, its oxidation number decreases.
The oxidizing agent contains atoms that are reduced.
The reducing agent contains atoms that are oxidized.

Here are some common rules for assigning oxidation states.

Oxidation states on all atoms in a neutral compound shall add up to 0.
The average oxidation state on an atom is zero if the compound contains only atoms of that element. (E.g., the oxidation state on O in O₂ is zero.)
The oxidation state on oxygen atoms in compounds is typically -2. (Exceptions: oxygen bonded to fluorine, and peroxides.)
The oxidation state on group one metals (Li, Na, K) in compounds is typically +1.
The oxidation state on group two metals (Mg, Ca, Ba) in compounds is typically +2.
The oxidation state on H in compounds is typically +1. (Exceptions: metal hydrides where the oxidation state on H can be -1.)

For this question, only the rule about neutral compounds, oxygen, and group one metals (K in this case) are needed.

<h3>Reaction B</h3>

Oxidation states in KNO₃:

K is a group one metal. The oxidation state on K in the compound KNO₃ shall be +1.
The oxidation state on N tend to vary a lot, from -3 all the way to +5. Leave that as $x$ for now.
There's no fluorine in KNO₃. The ion NO₃⁻ stands for nitrate. There's no peroxide in that ion. The oxidation state on O in this compound shall be -2.
Let the oxidation state on N be $x$ . The oxidation state of all five atoms in the formula KNO₃ shall add up to zero. $1\times (+1) + 1 \times (x) + {\bf 3} \times (-2) = 0\\x = +5$ . As a result, the oxidation state on N in KNO₃ will be +5.

Similarly, for KNO₂:

The oxidation state on the group one metal K in KNO₂ will still be +1.
Let the oxidation state on N be $y$ .
There's no peroxide in the nitrite ion, NO₂⁻, either. The oxidation state on O in KNO₂ will still be -2.
The oxidation state on all atoms in this formula shall add up to 0. Solve for the oxidation state on N: $1\times (+1) + 1 \times (y) + {\bf 2}\times (-2) = 0\\y = +3$ . The oxidation state on N in KNO₂ will be +3.

Oxygen is the only element in O₂. As a result,

The oxidation state on O in O₂ will be 0.

$\rm\stackrel{+1}{K}\stackrel{\bf +5}{N}\stackrel{\bf -2}{O}_3 \to \stackrel{+1}{K}\stackrel{\bf+3}{N}\stackrel{\bf -2}{O}_2 + \stackrel{\bf 0}{O}_2$ .

The oxidation state on two oxygen atoms in KNO₃ increases from -2 to 0. These oxygen atoms are oxidized. KNO₃ is also the reducing agent.

The oxidation state on the nitrogen atom in KNO₃ decreases from +5 to +3. That nitrogen atom is reduced. As a result, KNO₃ is also the oxidizing agent.

<h3>Reaction A</h3>

Apply these steps to reaction A.

H₂:

Oxidation state on H: 0.

O₂:

Oxidation state on O: 0.

H₂O:

Oxidation state on H: +1.
Oxidation state on O: -2.
Double check: ${\bf 2} \times (+1) + (-2) = 0$ .

$\rm \stackrel{}{2}\; \stackrel{\bf 0}{H}_2 + \stackrel{\bf 0}{O}_2\stackrel{}{\to} \stackrel{}{2}\;\stackrel{\bf +1}{H}_2\stackrel{\bf -2}{O}$ .

The oxidation state on oxygen atoms decreases from 0 to -2. Those oxygen atoms are reduced. O₂ is thus the oxidizing agent.

The oxidation state on hydrogen atoms increases from 0 to +1. Those hydrogen atoms are oxidized. H₂ is thus the reducing agent.

You happen to be visiting Northern California and you are driving by Suisun Bay, a notorious graveyard for old ships. You notice

eduard

Answer:

1) rusting of metal is both chemical and physical change

2) black ice is an example of a physical change

Explanation:

when metal rusts, it is due to a reaction between the atoms in the metal and the atoms in the air(oxygen) or water(oxygen). When it rusts it also physically changes the look of the metal from silver to dirty brownish maroon.

Black ice is a change in state hence it cannot be a chemical change as the original substance NO LONGER EXISTS in a chemical reaction. It is a physical change however as the ice is changing into a different state of matter.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
