Answer: 3
Explanation:
An oxide-reduction reaction or, simply, redox reaction, is a <u>chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reactants</u>, causing a change in their oxidation states, which is the hypothetical electric charge that the atom would have if all its links with different elements were 100% ionic.
For there to be a reduction-oxidation reaction, in the system there must be an element that yields electrons and another that accepts them:
-
The oxidizing agent picks up electrons and remains with a state of oxidation inferior to that which it had, that is, it is reduced.
- The reducing agent supplies electrons from its chemical structure to the medium, increasing its oxidation state, ie, being oxidized.
To balance a redox equation you must <u>identify the elements that are oxidized and reduced and the amount of electrons that they release or capture, respectively.
</u>
In the reaction that arises in the question the silver (Ag) is reduced <u>because it decreases its oxidation state from +1 to 0</u> and the aluminum (Al) is oxidized because <u>its oxidation state increases from 0 to +3</u>, releasing 3 electrons (e⁻). Then we can raise two half-reactions:
Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag⁰
Al⁰ → Al⁺³ + 3e⁻
In order to obtain the balanced equation, we must multiply the first half-reaction by 3 so that, when both half-reactions are added, the electrons are canceled. In this way:
(Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag⁰ ) x3
Al⁰ → Al⁺³ + 3e⁻ +
-------------------------------------
3Ag⁺ + Al⁰ → 3Ag⁰ + Al⁺³
So, the coefficient of silver in the final balanced equation is 3.
Answer:
6.096799125kg
Explanation:
According to the question, three different samples weighed using different types of balance had masses: 0.6160959 kg, 3.225 mg, and 5480.7 g.
Based on observation, the mass units in the three measurements are different but must be uniform in order to find the total mass. Hence, we need to convert to the standard unit (S.I unit of mass), which is kilograms (kg)
Since 1kg equals 1,000,000mg
Hence, 3.225mg will be 3.225/1000000
= 0.000003225kg
Also, 1kg equals 1000g
Hence, 5480.7g will be 5480.7/1000
= 5.4087kg
Hence, the total mass of the three samples (now in the same unit) are:
5.4807kg + 0.000003225kg + 0.6160959 kg
= 6.096799125kg
