Answer: 3
Explanation:
An oxide-reduction reaction or, simply, redox reaction, is a <u>chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reactants</u>, causing a change in their oxidation states, which is the hypothetical electric charge that the atom would have if all its links with different elements were 100% ionic.
For there to be a reduction-oxidation reaction, in the system there must be an element that yields electrons and another that accepts them:
-
The oxidizing agent picks up electrons and remains with a state of oxidation inferior to that which it had, that is, it is reduced.
- The reducing agent supplies electrons from its chemical structure to the medium, increasing its oxidation state, ie, being oxidized.
To balance a redox equation you must <u>identify the elements that are oxidized and reduced and the amount of electrons that they release or capture, respectively.
</u>
In the reaction that arises in the question the silver (Ag) is reduced <u>because it decreases its oxidation state from +1 to 0</u> and the aluminum (Al) is oxidized because <u>its oxidation state increases from 0 to +3</u>, releasing 3 electrons (e⁻). Then we can raise two half-reactions:
Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag⁰
Al⁰ → Al⁺³ + 3e⁻
In order to obtain the balanced equation, we must multiply the first half-reaction by 3 so that, when both half-reactions are added, the electrons are canceled. In this way:
(Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag⁰ ) x3
Al⁰ → Al⁺³ + 3e⁻ +
-------------------------------------
3Ag⁺ + Al⁰ → 3Ag⁰ + Al⁺³
So, the coefficient of silver in the final balanced equation is 3.

They put five crickets in each of three identical containers. They s ... to 15°C, one to 20°C, and one to 25°C. Then they count the number of cricket chirps in each container
Answer:
Axel: Much of the water is in the air around us.
Explanation:
When a puddle of water forms on the ground, it indicates that much of the ground around it is saturated with water and as such, the water would not readily soak into the ground. Also, since the puddle was found in a park, it is not likely that the water has gone into a stream, river, pond, lake, or ocean.
Since, the day was a sunny, it means that the heat from the sun has caused the evaporation of the water molecules. However, the water vapor molecules do not just immediately rise up to the atmosphere to form clouds nor do they cease to exist, rather it is dispersed in the air around the surroundings and beyond. Formation of clouds by water vapor takes days to happen.
Also, the water has not changed to fog either as they form usually at cooler temperatures.
Answer:
it's a precipitation reaction.
Explanation:
since a solid is produced, one of the elements are insoluble with one another–making a precipitate.
