Answer:

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

Explanation:

Let ⁿₐX be the isotope.

Thus, the equation can be written as follow:

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

Next, we shall determine the value of 'n' and 'a'. This can be obtained as follow:

222 = 4 + n

Collect like terms

222 – 4 = n

218 = n

Thus,

n = 218

86 = 2 + a

Collect like terms

86 – 2 = a

84 = a

Thus,

a = 84

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ²¹⁸₈₄Po

11C. Potassium hydrogen phthalate is a solid, monoprotic acid frequently used in the laboratory to standardize strong base solut

Llana [10]

For the reactants,

The oxidation number of hydrogen = +1
The oxidation number of oxygen = -2
The oxidation number of arsenic = +5
The oxidation number of carbon = +3

For the products,

The oxidation number of hydrogen = +1
The oxidation number of oxygen = -2
The oxidation number of arsenic = +3
The oxidation number of carbon = +4

Here, arsenic (+5 to +3) and carbon (+3 to +4) are the only oxidation numbers changing.

Note that an increase in oxidation number means electrons are lost. Thus oxidation is occurring, and a decrease in oxidation number means electrons are being gained, and thus reduction is occurring.

Also, the compound that contains the element being oxidized is the reducing agent, and the compound that contains the element being reduced is the oxidizing agent.

So, the answers are:

name of the element oxidized: Carbon

name of the element reduced: Arsenic

formula of the oxidizing agent: $\text{H}_{3}\text{AsO}_{4}$

formula of the reducing agent: $\text{H}_{2}\text{C}_{2}\text{O}_{4}$

Explain the terms physical properties of metals Malleability and ductility, and how they used in daily life situation ?

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Malleability means that metals can be hammered into sheets and foils. For example, aluminium foils are used for wrapping food stuffs, silver foils are used for decorative purposes on sweets and fruits. Ductility means that metals can be drawn into wires. Gold and silver wires are used in ornaments.

and For jewellery and ornaments, gold, platinum and silver are being used. For building purposes, iron and steel can be used. Iron and aluminium are used as utensils. The thermometer uses mercury and helps to monitor the temperature.
