Answer:
Redox type
Explanation:
The reaction is:
2Cr + 3Fe(NO₃)₂ → 2Fe + 2Cr(NO₃)₃
2 moles of chromium can react to 3 moles of iron (II) nitrate in order to produce 2 moles of iron and 2 moles of chromium nitrate.
If we see oxidation state, we see that chromium changes from 0 to +3
Iron changed the oxidation state from +2 to 0
Remember that elements at ground state has 0, as oxidation state.
Iron is being reduced while chromium is oxidized. Then, the half reactions are:
Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇄ Fe (Reduction)
Cr ⇄ Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻ (Oxidation)
When an element is being reduced, while another is being oxidized, we are in prescence of a redox reaction.
U can show him that Earth isn't getting smaller, because things WOULD be getting smaller, and our houses would be getting smaller, IF everything shrunk WITH Earth.
Because elemental mercury is a liquid at a room temperature
