Which of the following represents the balanced reduction half-reaction from the redox reaction? (2 points)

1 answer:

5 0

In general oxidation is defined as gain of oxygen or loss of electron or hydrogen by an atom. Reduction is defined as gain of electron or hydrogen or loss of oxygen by an atom.

In a balanced redox reaction we have two half reactions

a) reduction half reaction : the oxidation number of element decreases

b) oxidation half reaction : the oxidation number of element increases

$Pb(s) + Pd(NO_{3} )_{2}(aq)---> Pb(NO_{3} )_{2}(aq)+ Pd(s)$

The element undergoing reduction is Pd.

the oxidation number of Pd decreases from +2 to 0

Thus the reduction half reaction will be

$Pd^{+2} + 2e- --->Pd(s)$

The Pd (II) ion will take two electrons and will give Pd (0)

Answer is $Pd^{+2} + 2e- --->Pd(s)$

What controls flowering in many<br> plants?

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

All flowering is regulated by the integration of environmental cues into an internal sequence of processes. These processes regulate the ability of plant organs to produce and respond to an array of signals. The numerous regulatory switches permit precise control over the time of flowering.

Chlorine has two isotopes, 35Cl and 37Cl; 75.77 % of chlorine is 35Cl and 24.23 % is 37Cl. The atomic mass of 35Cl is 34.969 amu

storchak [24]

Answer:

35.4528731 amu

Explanation:

To appropriately get the atomic mass unit of chlorine, we can get the answer using the masses from the isotopes. This can be obtained as follows. What we do is that we multiply the percentage compositions by the masses.

Now let’s do this.

[75.77/100 * 34.969] + [24.23/100 * 36.966]

= 26.4960113 + 8.9568618 = 35.4528731

1. Most of the chemicals included in your General Chemistry Lab kit can be discarded down a drain. Describe a situation in which

Tju [1.3M]

Answer: Chemicals like acids and bases are harmful and must be neutralized before draining.

Explanation:

A strong acid or strong base is required to be diluted or neutralized before it is discarded in the drain as if is discarded without diluting and neutralization it can spill and splash from sink or drain and can harm people in chemistry lab, moreover the fumes of the discarded chemical on spilling can cause respiratory tract burning and can even cause fire hazard so it must be converted into less harmful form and then must be drained.
