Answer: only Br2.
Justification.
In a chemical reaction the element that gains electrons experiments a reduction in its oxidation state, that is why it is said that it is reduced.
So, to know what element is being reduced you need to calculate the oxidation states of the elements involved.
Here I indicate the oxidation states of each element if the reaction putting them inside parenthesis:
Reactants side Products side
K (0) K (1+)
Br (0) Br(1-)
So, K lost one electron, increasing its oxidation statefrom 0 to 1+, meaning that it is being oxidized.
And, each atom of Br gained one electron, reducing its oxidation state from 0 to 1-, meaning it is being reduced.
Therefore, the answer is that Br2 is the substance being reduced.
Hey there! The answer to your first question is SILICON, Nickle has 28 protons, silicon has 14, 14+14=28. Its the only element thats adds up. I dont know about the 2nd one myself.
Answer:
It would have 23 chromosomes.
Explanation:
A Diploid is a cell or organism that has paired chromosomes, one from each parent.
In humans, cells other than sex cells, a diploid will have 23 pairs of chromosomes.
Answer:
All of these are true
Explanation:
A buffer solution in chemistry is a solution that resists changes in pH when an acid or base is added to it. It is a solution that contains a weak acid and its conjugate base (anion) or a weak base and its conjugate acid.
A buffer is able to resist a change in pH due to the conjugate base and conjugate acid of the weak acids and bases contained in them respectively. The conjugate base/acid are present in an equilibrium quantity with their acid/base counterparts and help to neutralize or react with any additional H+ or OH- from an acid or base added to their solution.
However, when a strong acid or base is added to the buffer solution, there is only a slight change which practically does not change the pH of the solution.
Hence, all of the above options about a buffered solution is true.
