Answer:

A redox reaction in which a change of oxidation number of the reacting species occurs either by oxidation or by reduction which occur simultaneously and to the same extent during the reaction.

Silver atoms are oxidized while oxygen atoms are reduced by a loss of electrons and a gain of electrons respectively.

Explanation:

A redox reaction in which a change of oxidation number of the reacting species occurs either by oxidation or by reduction which occur simultaneously and to the same extent during the reaction.

In a redox reaction,the two reactions occurring simultaneously can be divided into two half reactions; an oxidation half-reaction and a reduction half-reaction.

The oxidation half-reaction involves losing electrons and thus an increase in oxidation number of the species being oxidized. Whereas, the reduction half reaction involves gaining electrons and thus, a reduction innthe oxidation number of the species being reduced.

The species which oxidizes another species is known as an oxidizing agent and isnitself reduced due to its accepting electrons from the species being oxidized. Th reducing agent reduces another species and is itself oxidized as it loses electrons to the oxidized agent.

In the given reaction as shown below:

4 Ag (s) + 2 H₂S (g) + O₂ (g) ---> 2 Ag₂S (s) + 2 H₂0 (g)

The reaction is a redox reaction as a change innthe oxidation number of the reacting species; both oxidation and reduction occurs simultaneously and to the same extent.

The metallic silver atoms, have an oxidation number of zero initially. However, each of the four moles of atoms give up one mole of a electrons each to become oxidized to silver (i) ions, Ag+.

On the other hand, molecular oxygen gas also having oxidation number of zero becomes reduced to oxygen ion, O²-. Each of the two moles of atom in the oxygen gas molecule accept two electrons each donated by the metallic silver atoms to become reduced to oxygen ion, O²-.

The oxidation numbers of hydrogen ion and sulfide ion do not change.

How does the electron configuration of elements within the same group compare? (A.) They all have their valence electrons in the
lesya [120]

Answer:

B.They all have their valence electrons in the same type of subshell

Explanation:

  • The electron configurations of elements in the same group (column) of the periodic table have them in the same type of subshell.
  • But the subshells may be of different shells. Thus , the energies of them need not be the same.
  • For example , The Alkalai Metals are found in the first column of the periodic table Group IA. This set of elements all have valence electrons in only the 's' orbital and because they are in the first column they all have s^{1} configuration. i.e,
  1. H 1s^1
  2. Li 1s^2 2s^1
  3. Na 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1
  4. K 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^64s^1

Is the reaction mg²⁺(aq) + h₂o(l) → mgo(s) + 2h⁺(aq) endothermic or exothermic?
aliya0001 [1]
<span>If energy is released, the reaction is exothermic. If energy is absorbed, the reaction is endothermic. Since heat is being absorbed in this reaction (to break down H2O into H2 and O), the reaction is endothermic.</span>

The modern periodic table is arranged by increasing
Lilit [14]

The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods.

Explain the process of groundwater
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Limestone is easily eroded from above and below.

Explanation:

The Florida bedrock is largely made of limestone. Because limestone is a rock that is easily eroded, the landscape of a great part of Florida is classified as karstic.

Karstic landscapes are dotted by sinkholes, underground rivers, caves, and springs. The more acidic the groundwater or rainwater, the faster and more easily the limestone will succumb to erosion.

In this way, underground rivers, streams, runoff, rain, and underground water pooled in caves have all carved out gaps and caverns in the weak limestone bedrock.
