Oxidation reaction
In ---> In³⁺ + 3e ---1)
reduction reaction
Cd²⁺ + 2e ---> Cd ---2)
when balancing the reactions, electrons have to be balanced. to balance the electrons multiple 1st reaction by 2 and 2nd reaction by 3
1) x 2
2) x 3
2In ---> 2In³⁺ + 6e
3Cd²⁺ + 6e ---> 3Cd
add the 2 equations to obtain the overall reaction
2In + 3Cd²⁺ ---> 2In³⁺ + 3Cd
Answer:
They are more stable than alkanes
Explanation:
- <em><u>Alkenes</u></em><em><u> are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons </u></em>which means they have a<u> double bond</u> in their structure, or lack maximum number of hydrogen atoms on each carbon.
- Alkenes have a general formula of CnH2n. They are called <u>unsaturated hydrocarbons</u> since they have a double bond. They are therefore less stable compared to alkanes and also are readily reactive.
Ice floats after it crystallizes because ITS DENSITY IS LESS THAN THAT OF WATER.
When a quantity of water is cools down by reducing its temperature, the molecules of the water lose kinetic energy and slow down in their movement. As the water is cooling down, it is volume is expanding. When the temperature reaches zero degree Celsius, the water becomes ice. At this point, the ice can float on water because its density is less than that of water; this is as a result of the spaces that now exist in the ice structure.
