Explanation:
Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3 (aq)
Overall, balanced molecular equation
Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3(aq) --> Mg(C2H3O2)3(aq) + Cr(s)
To identify if an element has been reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number is observed in both the reactant and product phase.
An increase in oxidation number denotes that the element has been oxidized.
A decrease in oxidation number denotes that the element has been reduced.
Oxidation number of Mg:
Reactant - 0
Product - +3
Oxidation number of Cr:
Reactant - +3
Product - 0
Note: C2H3O2 is actually acetate ion; CH3COO- The oxidatioon number of C, H and O do not change.
Oxidized : Mg
Reduced : Cr
The balanced equation
6CO₂ + 6H₂O = C₆H₁₂O₁₆ + O₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
CO2 + _H2O = _C6H12O16 + _O2
Required
Balanced equation
Solution
Give a coefficient
aCO₂ + bH₂O = C₆H₁₂O₁₆ + cO₂
Make an equation
C, left = a, right = 6⇒a=6
H, left = 2b, right = 12⇒2b=12⇒b=6
O, left=2a+b, right = 16+2c⇒2a+b=16+2c⇒2.6+6=16+2c⇒2c=2⇒c=1
The equation becomes :
<em>6CO₂ + 6H₂O = C₆H₁₂O₁₆ + O₂</em>
Answer: D) protons.
The other option that would make the most sense would be electrons, however the mass of an electron is so small that is basically negligible, so it's not included in the atomic mass.
Only when there is no product that is when a chemical reaction has not occured
Answer:
An area around a molecule that describes a region of space where the electrons that are shared between bonded atoms can reside
Explanation:
A molecular orbital is an area around a molecule that describes a region of space where the electrons that are shared between bonded atoms can reside.
Molecular orbitals are formed by linear combination of atomic orbitals of about the same energy. The number of atomic orbitals that are combined to give molecular orbitals is the same as the number of molecular orbitals formed. The build up of electrons in molecular orbitals also follow the Aufbau principle, Hund's rule and Pauli exclusion principle.
