Answer:

NO3-

Explanation:

Given the reaction equation;

Au(s) + 3NO3-(aq) + 6H+(aq)→Au3+(aq) + 3NO2(g) + 3H2O (l).

We can consider the oxidation states of species on the left and right hand sides of the reaction equation;

Au is in zero oxidation state on the left hand side and an oxidation state of +3 on the righthand side.

NO3- is in oxidation state of +5 on the righthand side and NO2 is in + 4 oxidation state.

H+ is in + 1 oxidation state on both the left and right hand sides of the reaction equation.

Since reduction has to do with a decrease in oxidation number, it follows that NO3- was reduced in the reaction.

A 1.24g sample of a hydrocarbon, when completely burned in an excess of O2 yields 4.04g Co2 and 1.24g H20. Draw plausible struct

arsen [322]

Answer:

Plausible structure has been given below

Explanation:

Molar mass of $CO_{2}$ is 44 g/mol and molar mass of $H_{2}O$ is 18 g/mol
Number of mole = (mass/molar mass)

4.04 g of $CO_{2}$ = $\frac{4.04}{44}moles$ $CO_{2}$ = 0.0918 moles of $CO_{2}$

1 mol of $CO_{2}$ contains 1 mol of C atom

So, 0.0918 moles of $CO_{2}$ contains 0.0918 moles of C atom

1.24 g of $H_{2}O$ = $\frac{1.24}{18}moles$ $H_{2}O$ = 0.0689 moles of $H_{2}O$

1 mol of $H_{2}O$ contain 2 moles of H atom

So, 0.0689 moles of $H_{2}O$ contain $(2\times 0.0689)moles$ of $H_{2}O$ or 0.138 moles of $H_{2}O$

Moles of C : moles of H = 0.0918 : 0.138 = 2 : 3

Empirical formula of hydrocarbon is $C_{2}H_{3}$

So, molecular formula of one of it's analog is $C_{4}H_{6}$

Plausible structure of $C_{4}H_{6}$ has been given below.

What is the difference between a plain and a plateau? A. Only a plain is flat, a plateau is steep mountainside. B. Both are flat

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Both plain and plateau have flat surfaces. However, a plain is located in a low-lying area while a plateau is located on an elevated area. In essence, a plateau can be viewed as an elevated plain or a plain that is bordered by cliffs.

The correct option is B.
