Answer 1. Since all the volcanic ash blocks out the sun's rays and is composed of many toxic chemicals including heavy amounts of anti-oxygen chemicals it will make the atmosphere around the volcano full of chemicals that make it hard for life to exist.

Answer 2. Photosynthesis is the process of converting water, Co^2, and sunlight into glucose and oxygen. Sunlight will be blocked out making it difficult for the plants to photosynthesize. Nearby waters will be contaminated too because of all the ash. The amount of C0^2 will be too overwhelming for most plants thereby killing many of them.

Answer 3. People can bring plants indoors and see that the plants are treated with care and properly. An alternative is to grow newer plants or gardens locally if possible. This will be ill-advised if you see lava coming straight towards your town.

Answer 4. Other events that can block out the sun are storms. If powerful enough they can block out the sun. Since the sun is our prime source of energy, we would seriously take a major hit population wise. Some plants might live if we use flashlights or other light alternatives. Animal's will die off and people eventually. Ends pretty bad and more complex.

Answer:

Hello There!!

Explanation:

The temperature stays the same when a solid is melting or a liquid is boiling (changing state) during a change of state, even though heat energy is being absorbed.

hope this helps,have a great day!!

Complete and balance the following redox equation using the set of smallest whole– number coefficients. Now sum the coefficients
Elena L [17]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation in a acidic solution is,

BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)

The sum of the coefficients is, 17

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in acidic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.

Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.

Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.

If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the less number of oxygen are present.

If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydrogen ion (H^+) at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.

Now balance the charge.

The given chemical reaction is,

BrO_3^-(aq)+Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+Sb^{5+}(aq)

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}

Reduction : BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-

  • First balance the main element in the reaction.

Oxidation : Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}

Reduction : BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-

  • Now balance oxygen atom on both side.

Oxidation : Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}

Reduction : BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O

  • Now balance hydrogen atom on both side.

Oxidation : Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}

Reduction : BrO_3^-+6H^+\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O

  • Now balance the charge.

Oxidation : Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}+2e^-

Reduction : BrO_3^-+6H^++6e^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O

The charges are not balanced. Now multiplying oxidation reaction by 3 and then adding both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation : 3Sb^{3+}\rightarrow 3Sb^{5+}+6e^-

Reduction : BrO_3^-+6H^++6e^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O

The balanced chemical equation in acidic medium will be,

BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)

The sum of the coefficients = 1 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 3

The sum of the coefficients = 17
