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.

In the reaction, A → Products, the rate constant is 3.6 × 10−4 s−1. If the initial concentration of A is 0.548 M, what will be t

Arada [10]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{0.529M}}$

Explanation:

Since the <em>rate constant</em> has units of <em>s⁻¹</em>, you can tell that the order of the reaction is 1.

Hence, the rate law is:

$r=d[A]/dt=-k[A]$

Solving that differential equation yields to the well known equation for the rates of a first order chemical reaction:

$[A]=[A]_0e^{-kt}$

You know [A]₀, k, and t, thus you can calculate [A].

$[A]=0.548M\times e^{-3.6\cdot 10^{-4}/s\times99.2s}$

$[A]=0.529M$

Why are fixed resistors’ values indicated by color bands rather than printing the numeric value on their exterior?

gladu [14]

Because there are so many different values of numbers, it would be impractical to use 1Ω, 2Ω, 3Ω... etc... Using colored bands helps make reading it a little easier to the trained eye. There are hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover every value. So you just use something called "preferred values" with their resistance values posted on them instead.
