Chemistry

Answer: The half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.

  • Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}
  • MnO^{-}_{4} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

Explanation:

A half-reaction where addition of electrons take place or a reaction where decrease in oxidation state of an element  takes place is called reduction-half reaction.

For example, the oxidation state of Cr in Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} is +6 which is getting converted into +3, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 3 e^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}

Similarly, oxidation state of Mn in MnO^{-}_{4} is +7 which is getting converted into +2, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.

MnO^{2-}_{4} + 5 e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

Thus, we can conclude that half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.

  • Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}
  • MnO^{-}_{4} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

What periodic trends exist for electronegativity?
Anna007 [38]
The highest electronegativity is in the elements in the top left corner of the periodic table, and the lowest in the bottom right corner. Therefore, traveling up or to the left across the periodic table will increase the electronegativity

A ball-and-stick model of a molecule of formaldehyde, ch2o, is made from the following components: what do the sticks represent?
9966 [12]

In chemistry, the ball-and-stick model is a molecular ideal of a chemical matter which is to expose both the three-dimensional position of the atoms and the bonds among them. The atoms are normally symbolise by spheres, join by rods which shows the bonds.

Formaldehyde forms formaldehyde structure bond it shares double bond with O2 atoms.

Formaldehyde also known as methanol .

Methanol is colourless.

It is flammable.

It is gas at room temperature.

Methanol having pungent odor and it is a volatile organic compounds.

It is made by the composition of Hydrogen, oxygen, and carbons.
