The type of chemical bond depends on the substances taking part in it. If the substances are metal and non-metal, then the bond between them is ionic. If two substances are metal, then the bond between them is metallic. If two substances are non-metal, then the bond is covalent.

So basically put this:

Metal + Nonmetal = Ionic

Metal + Metal = Metallic

Nonmetal + Nonmetal = Covalent

How can I balance this equation? TELL ME HOW you did it and all the steps and you will be the brainliest.

lianna [129]

Answer:

3 CH3CH2OH + 4 H2CrO4 + 6 H2SO4 --> 3 CH3COOH + 2 Cr2(SO4)3 + 13 H2O

Explanation:

To balance, start of with the groups that are common on both sides of the reaction equation;

In this case, these are the SO4 groups treating them as single units;

There are 3 on the right side and 1 on the left side, so we put 3 in front of the H2SO4 to balance this first;

Next, deal with the Cr, there are 2 Cr on the right side and 1 on the other side, so we put a 2 in front of the H2CrO4 to balance that;

Thirdly, we notice the C are already balanced as there are 2 on each side so this is fine;

Lastly, we can deal with the O and H;

Bearing in mind the numbers that are in front of the molecules now from prior balancing, there are 9 O and 16 H on the left side and 3 O and 5 H on the right;

7 H2O on the right side would balance the O, but gives us 18 H, which is 2 too many H;

If we were to put 2 in front of the two organic molecules (the ones with C) on either side, we would balance the O by having 6 H2O, but this gives 2 fewer H than necessary;

In order for the H to balance, we need to have 13/2 (or 6.5) H2O, which means we need 3/2 (or 1.5) in front of each organic molecule;

Since, it is not sensible to have 13/2 water molecules or 3/2 organic molecules, we can just multiply everything by 2;

Thus we end up with:

3 CH3CH2OH + 4 H2CrO4 + 6 H2SO4 --> 3 CH3COOH + 2 Cr2(SO4)3 + 13 H2O

Rules of thumb:

- When there are common chemical groups (e.g. SO4) on both sides of a reaction equation, treat them as single units

- Start of with balancing these common groups

- Thereafter, balance the atoms that appear in only one reactant and one product

- Proceed to balance the atoms that appear in more than one reactant or product

- Typically, you should deal with the O and H last

If an oxygen isotope has 8 protons and 10 neutrons in its nucleus, what is its atomic mass?

Galina-37 [17]

Atomic mass = number of protons + number of neutrons
= 10 + 8 = 18

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

What is oxidized in a galvanic cell with aluminum and gold electrodes ?

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Aluminum metal

Explanation:

In order to properly answer this or a similar question, we need to know some basic rules about galvanic cells and standard reduction potentials.

First of all, your strategy would be to find a trusted source or the table of standard reduction potentials. You would then need to find the half-equations for aluminum and gold reduction:

$Al^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Al; E^o=-1.66 V$

$Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V$

Since we have a galvanic cell, the overall reaction is spontaneous. A spontaneous reaction indicates that the overall cell potential should be positive.

Since one half-equation should be an oxidation reaction (oxidation is loss of electrons) and one should be a reduction reaction (reduction is gain of electrons), one of these should be reversed.

Thinking simply, if the overall cell potential would be obtained by adding the two potentials, in order to acquite a positive number in the sum of potentials, we may only reverse the half-equation of aluminum (this would change the sign of E to positive): $Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-; E^o=1.66 V\\Au^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Au; E^o=1.50 V$

Notice that the overall cell potential upon summing is:

$E_{cell}=1.66 V + 1.50 V=3.16 V$

Meaning we obey the law of galvanic cells.

Since oxidation is loss of electrons, notice that the loss of electrons takes place in the half-equation of aluminum: solid aluminum electrode loses 3 electrons to become aluminum cation.
