Answer:

A disproportionation reaction is when a multiatomic species whose pertinent element has a specific oxidation state gets oxidized and reduced in two separate half-reactions, yielding two other products containing the same pertinent element. A convenient example is Mn2O3 becoming Mn2+ and MnO2 .

Examples. Hydrogen peroxide converting into water and oxygen is a disproportionation reaction. Water dissociating into H3O+ and OH- is an example of a disproportionation reaction that is not a redox reaction.

A solution is made by dissolving 100. g of cobalt(III)chloride in 250. g of water. to make a solution that has a density of 1.25

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Option A) (I) 2.42 m (II) 2.16 M

Explanation:

Let's determine some information.

Solute = CoCl₃ (molar mass = 165.29 g/m); mass of 100 g

Solvent = Water, mass of 250 g

Solution mass = mass of CoCl₃ + mass of water

250 g + 100 g = 350 g of solution

If we want to reach molarity (mol/L), let's determine solution volume with density:

Solution density = solution mass / solution volume

1.25 g/mL = 350 g / solution volume

Solution volume = 350 g / 1.25 g/mL = 280 mL

Let's convert the volume to L → 280 mL = 0.280L

Let's convert the mass of solute to moles = 100 g / 165.29 g/m →0.605 mol

Mol/L = 0.605 moles / 0.280 L = 2.16 M

Now let's calculate molalilty (mol/kg of solvet)

We must convert solvent mass to kg → 250g = 0.250 kg

Then, 0.605 moles / 0.250 kg =2.42 m

Discuss electrochemical principle about rusting of iron

Levart [38]

Answer:

The electrochemical phenomenon of rusting of iron can be described as : At Anode: Fe (s) undergoes oxidation to releases electrons. Electrons released at anode move to another metal and reduce oxygen in presence of H+. It is available from H2CO3 formed from the dissolution of CO2 from air into water.

Give the formulas of the compounds in each set (a) lead(l|) oxide and lead(lV) oxide; (b) lithium nitride, lithium nitrite, and

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

For a: The formula of lead (II) oxide and lead (IV) oxide is $PbO\text{ and }PbO_2$ respectively.

For b: The formula of lithium nitride, lithium nitrite and lithium nitrate is $Li_3N,LiNO_2\text{ and }LiNO_3$ respectively.

For c: The formula of Strontium hydride and strontium hydroxide is $SrH_2\text{ and }Sr(OH)_2$ respectively.

For d: The formula of magnesium oxide and manganese (II) oxide is $MgO\text{ and }MnO$ respectively.

Explanation:

All the given compounds are ionic compounds. This means that between the atoms complete sharing of electrons takes place.

For a:

Lead is the 82th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^2$ .

To form $Pb^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons and to form $Pb^{4+}$ ion, this element will loose 4 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for lead (II) oxide is PbO and for lead (IV) oxide is $PbO_2$

Thus, the formula of lead (II) oxide and lead (IV) oxide is $PbO\text{ and }PbO_2$ respectively.

For b:

Lithium is the 3rd element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^1$ .

To form $Li^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$ .

To form $N^{3-}$ ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

Nitrite ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $NO_2^{-}$

Nitrate ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $NO_3^{-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for lithium nitride is $Li_3N$ , for lithium nitrite is $LiNO_2$ and for lithium nitrate is $LiNO_3$

Thus, the formula of lithium nitride, lithium nitrite and lithium nitrate is $Li_3N,LiNO_2\text{ and }LiNO_3$ respectively.

For c:

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^2$ .

To form $Sr^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Hydrogen is the 1st element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^1$ .

To form $H^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron and is named as hydride ion.

Hydroxide ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $OH^{-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium hydride is $SrH_2$ and for strontium hydroxide is $Sr(OH)_2$

Thus, the formula of Strontium hydride and strontium hydroxide is $SrH_2\text{ and }Sr(OH)_2$ respectively.

For d:

Magnesium is the 12th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^2$ .

To form $Mg^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Manganese is the 25th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]3d^54s^2$

To form $Mn^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for magnesium oxide is MgO and for manganese (II) oxide is MnO.

Thus, the formula of magnesium oxide and manganese (II) oxide is $MgO\text{ and }MnO$ respectively.

Compare and contrast cytokines in animal and plant cells

GarryVolchara [31]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Cytokinesis in animal cells occur by cleavage while in plants it occurs through the formation of a cell plate.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Cytokinesis refers to the process through which the cytoplasm divide in animal and plant cells.
It occurs after the division of the nucleus.
Cytokinesis in animal cells differs from that in plant cells in that, in animal cells it occurs by cleavage while in plant cells cytokinesis occurs through the formation of a cell plate.
In animal cells, cleavage occurs as a result of the activity of actin and myosin which results to dividing of cytoplasm in to two.
In plant cells, cell plate is formed by the fusion of golgi bodies on the equator which will generate cell wall and the plasma membrane between daughter cells.
