Lerok [7]

Answer : The balanced redox reaction will be,

4Ag(s)+8CN^-(aq)+O_2(g)+4H^+(aq)\rightarrow 4Ag(CN)_2^-(aq)+2H_2O(l)

Explanation :

The given chemical equation is,

Ag(s)+CN^-(aq)+O_2(g)\rightarrow Ag(CN)_2^-(aq)

In the half reaction method, the number of atoms in each half reaction and number of electrons must be balanced.

The half reactions in the acidic medium are :

Reduction : O_2(g)+4H^+(aq)+4e^-\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)   ......(1)

Oxidation : Ag(s)+2CN^-(aq)\rightarrow Ag(CN)_2^-(aq)+1e^-  .......(2)

Now multiply the equation (2) by 4 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Thus, the balanced redox reaction will be,

4Ag(s)+8CN^-(aq)+O_2(g)+4H^+(aq)\rightarrow 4Ag(CN)_2^-(aq)+2H_2O(l)

It is thought that Vitamin C might be an effective preventative
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

IF the fruit juice contains a high level of vitamin C, THEN the preventative effectiveness against common cold increases.

Explanation:

The hypothesis is a testable explanation of a scientific investigation. It aims at predicting the outcome of the experiment. One feature of the hypothesis is that it must be testable. The hypothesis is usually written in an "IF, THEN" format.

This question is regarding an experiment to test the amount of vitamin C in fruit juice. The vitamin C is thought to be an effective preventative against common cold. Hence, the hypothesis connects the effect on common cold (dependent variable) with the amount of vitamin C (independent variable). The hypothesis can be written as:

IF the fruit juice contains a high level of vitamin C, THEN the preventative effectiveness against common cold increases.

A cell with normal tonicity is placed in a 200 mm nacl solution. This solution is ________ and the cell will ________.
const2013 [10]

The concentration of a cell is generally 0.15 M  (0.9 % NaCl)

As given the solution has concentration = 200mm = 0.02 M

This concentration of solution is less than the concentration of cell

Hence solution is hypotonic (less concentration) and cell will be hypertonic
