Answer:
Option (A) Each Zn atom loses 2 electrons, and each Co2+ ion gains 2
Explanation:
To know the right answer to the question, let us observe the changes in the oxidation number of Zn and Co. This is illustrated below:
Zn(s) + Co2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Co(s)
The oxidation number of Zn changes from 0 to +2 indicating that Zn has lose 2 electrons.
The oxidation number of Co changes from +2 to 0 indicating that Co has gain 2 electrons.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
Answer:
X liters of 10% + (30 - x) liters of 22% = 30...
The correct answer is option c, that is, nucleus.
A usual atom comprises three subatomic particles, that is, the neutrons, protons, and electrons. According to Bohr's model, the majority of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus, that is, a small, dense region at the center of each atom, comprising nucleons.
The nucleons incorporate neutrons and protons. All the positive charge of an atom is found in the nucleus and arises from the protons, the neutrons are neutrally-charged, and the electrons are the negatively charged particles found outside of the nucleus.
Answer:
(a) Iron is being oxidized.
(d) Sulfur is being reduced.
Explanation:
Let's consider the following redox reaction.
8 Fe(s) + S₈(s) → 8 FeS(s)
Iron is being oxidized according to the following oxidation half-reaction:
Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(s) + 2 e⁻
Sulfur is being reduced according to the following reduction half-reaction:
S₈(s) + 16 e⁻ → 8 S²⁻(s)
Answer: the number of circles in the electronic configuration of an element is represented in the periodic table as the period number that element is situated in. the number of electrons in the outermost shell of an element is represented in the periodic table as the group number that element is situated in.
