Answer:
Explanation:
a. Oxidation : 2O + 4e^- ------> 2O^2-
b. Reduction: 2Sr - 4e- -------> Sr^2+
c. Balanced redox reaction
2Sr + O2 ------------> 2Sr O
Oxidation and reduction can be defined by various means, addition of oxygen, removal of hydrogen, removal of electrons. For this reaction, this definition is used, oxidation is the loss of electrons while reduction is the gaining of electrons.
In (a) oxidation half reaction, the valency of oxygen is zero and then moves into lossing two electrons resulting into -2 valency.
In (b) reduction half reaction, the valency of Sr is zero and gains electrons resulting into valency of 2.
In the overall redox reaction, Sr and O2 with valency of 0 each reacts together and form SrO with valency of 2 and -2 respectively, which gives 0 and then balances the equation.
CH4+2O2–>CO2+2H2O
4Fe+3O2–>2Fe2O3
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since we have a problem about volume-pressure relationship, the idea here is to use the Boyle's law to calculate the final volume as shown below:

Then, we plug in the initial and final pressures and the initial volume to obtain:

Answer:
Elements that fall between those on the left and right sides of the periodic table
Explanation:
Transition metals:
These are present at the center of periodic table.
These are d-block elements.
They include the elements of group 3 to 12 in periodic table.
They have large charge to radius ratio.
They mostly form paramagnetic compounds.
They shoes more than one oxidation state.
They form colored compounds.
They all have high melting and boiling point.
They have high densities.
They form stable complexes.
The elements of f-block are also transition but they are called inner transition.These are consist of two series lanthanide and actinides.
Answer:
0.26 moles
Explanation:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Mass of SiO2 = 15.5g
Molar mass of SiO2 = 60.08g/mol
Number of moles = 15.5g/60.08g/mol
=0.257
= 0.26 moles
