The mechanical advantage of a device refers to

Chemistry
1 answer:
Savatey [412]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. The device preserves the input power and simply trades off input forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force. The model for this is the law of the lever.

Balance the following half reaction in basic conditions. Then, indicate the coefficients for H2O and OH– for the balanced half r
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The ballance half reactions are:

Mg²⁺  + 2e⁻ → Mg

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

Coefficients for H2O and OH– are 3 for H₂O (in products side) and 6 for OH⁻ (in reactants side)

Explanation:

Si (s) + Mg(OH)₂ (s) → Mg (s) + SiO₃²⁻ (aq)

Let's see the oxidations number.

As any element in ground state, we know that oxidation state is 0, so Si in reactants and Mg in products, have 0.

Mg in reactants, acts with +2, so the oxidation number has decreased.

This is the reduction, so it has gained electrons.

Si in reactants acts with 0 so in products we find it with +4. The oxidation number increased it, so this is oxidation. The element has lost electrons.

Let's take a look to half reactions:

Mg²⁺  + 2e⁻ → Mg

Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻

In basic medium, we have to add water, as the same amount of oxygen we have, IN THE SAME SIDE. We have 3 oxygens in products, so we add 3 H₂O and in the opposite site we can add OH⁻, to balance the hydrogen. The half reaciton will be:

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

If we want to ballance the main reaction we have to multiply (x2) the half reaction of oxidation. So the electrons can be ballanced.

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

Now, that they are ballanced we can sum the half reactions:

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻  + 6OH⁻ + Si  → 2Mg  +  SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

Which objects cannot be observed in detail without a microscope?
Sonbull [250]

The objects which cannot be observed in detail without a microscope

include the following:

  • Red blood cell
  • Bacterium

<h3>What is a Microscope?</h3>

A microscope is an instrument which is used to view smaller objects such as

microbe,cells, tissues etc. This instrument is used in viewing the different

cells found in the body as they can't be seen with the eye.

The remaining options which can be seen with the eyes don't require

the use of microscopes.
