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.

1. Stirring increases the rate of solution
Blababa [14]

Answer:

1) <em>The correct answer is A. Collision</em>

2) A hot solvent helps a solid dissolve faster because an increase in <u><em>kinetic energy</em></u> that also increases the rate of collisions

Explanation:

When a solute is added into a solvent and stirred, the solute particles get distributed to all parts of the solvent as a result of stirring.

More collisions occur between the solute and the solvent due to stirring. This increases the rate of dissolving.

<em>When a solvent is heated, then the kinetic energy would increase and the atoms will collide with a much greater force. As a result, ore solute will be able to dissolve in the solvent. </em>

During which step in the Can Crush Lab did water vapor force air from the can?
irina [24]
When you heated the can with the bit of water inside and you boiled it over a flame, the water turned to vapor (gas) and the pressure in the inside of the can is different from the pressure on the outside of the can. When you placed the can into a ice water beaker or a container, the can shrunk it's size, decreasing it's mass and density. The can shrunk as a result of the inside pressure being equalized with the outside pressure.
The part where you placed it in the ice bath or container was when the water vapor was forced out of the can.
