The best answer for the question above would be the chloroflourocarbons or the CFCs. These chloroflourocarbons or CFCs are the ones responsible for the depletion of the ozone - which leads to leaving a hole in its layer. These gases eat out the ozone layer and allows harmful UV rays of the sun to come in the Earth.
Answer:
Some of the physical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by scratching it with other metals in order to find the hardness of it. Trying to deform it in order to find the malleability, and to heat it and measure the temperature in order to find the melting point.
Some of the chemical changes used by the industrial chemist in order to identify it is by inserting it in water to observe that whether it reacts with it or not, if the reaction is violent, then the metal belongs to either group I or group II. The other method is to insert it in acids of distinct strength and to observe its reaction. The metals belonging to the second group react briskly with acids. The other metals react gradually with acids and others are almost inert.
Answer:
1.05 V
Explanation:
Since;
E°cell= E°cathode- E°anode
E°cathode= -0.40 V
E°anode= -1.45 V
E°cell= -0.40-(-1.45) = 1.05 V
Equation of the process;
2Zr(s) + 4Cd^2+(aq) ---->2Zr^4+(aq) + 4Cd(s)
n= 8 electrons transferred
From Nernst's equation;
Ecell = E°cell - 0.0592/n log Q
Ecell= E°cell - 0.0592/8 log [0.5]/[0.5]
Since log 1=0
Ecell= E°cell= 1.05 V
Answer:
C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.
Explanation:
Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.
Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.
For example
Cl + e- → Cl⁻
The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.
Answer:
A combination reaction
Explanation:
The chemical reaction between ammonia and hydrochloric acid as shown below:
NH₃ + HCl → NH₄Cl
is a combination reaction.
In a combination reaction, two compounds combines together to give one compound.
A combination reaction is also known as a synthesis reaction.
A single product forms from tow or more reactants.
The driving force for such reaction is the large and negative heat of formation of the product.
