<u>Answer:</u> The electrons are transferred during a redox reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

Electrons are transferred from one atom to another in this type of reaction.

If I have one mole of sulfur, how many atoms would that be?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Atoms of sulfur = 9.60⋅g32.06⋅g⋅mol−1×6.022×1023⋅mol−1

Explanation:

because the units all cancel out, the answer is clearly a number, ≅2×1023 as required.

Classify the reactions as endothermic or exothermic....PLEASE HELP ASAP
elena55 [62]

1) Endothermic reactions:

a) The reaction between ammonium nitrate and water absorbs heat from the surrounding environment.

There are two types of reaction: endothermic reaction (chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases) and exothermic reaction (chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs).

b) Ammonium chloride dissolved in a beaker of water makes the beaker cold.

Dissolving this salt absorbs heat from beaker.

c) Water separates on hydrogen and oxygen when an electric current is run through it.

Electrolysis of water is the decomposition reaction (heat is required), because from one molecule (water) two molecules (hydrogen and oxygen) are produced. Water is separated into two molecules.

2) Exothermic reactions:

a) Three drops of concetrated sulfuric acid added to 100 milliliters in a beaker makes the beaker hot.

Energy is released, beaker absorbs that heat.

b) Uranium atoms are split to produce nuclear energy.

Nuclear energy is released.

c) Methane and oxygen are combined to produce methanol and heat.

Balanced chemical reaction: 2CH₄ + O₂ → 2CH₃OH + heat.
