Answer:

Filtration, Sifting and Decanting

Explanation:

Heterogenous mixtures can be seperated by filtration and sifting (Also known as sieving). Sifting is the process of parting a mixture using a sieve. Sifting is used to separate solid mixtures that contain molecules of varying sizes. Filtration is the process of separating a liquid from an insoluble solid. A common example is using a funnel and a coffee filiter to seperate the liquide from the insoluable solid. Although there are many other methods for filtration. You can also separate mixtures by decantation. Decantation is the process of separating a liquid from a solid/liquid by removing the liquid layer at the top from the layer of solid/liquid below.

Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following reactions: (i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l

shusha [124]

Answer:

(i) Oxidizing Agent: NO2 / Reducing Agent NH3-

(ii) Oxidizing Agent AgNO3 / Reducing Agent Zn

Explanation:

(i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l)

In this reaction, both two reactants contain nitrogen with a different oxidation number and produce only one product which contains nitrogen with a unique oxidation state. So, nitrogen is oxidized and reduced in the same reaction.

Nitrogen Undergoes a change in oxidation state from 4+ in NO2 to 0 in N2. It is reduced because it gains electrons (decrease its oxidation state). NO2 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor).

Nitrogen Changes from an oxidation state of 3- in NH3 to 0 in N2. It is oxidized because it loses electrons (increase its oxidation state). NH3 is the reducing agent (electron donor)

(ii) Zn(s) +AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

Ag changes oxidation state from 1+ to 0 in Ag(s).

Ag is reduced because it gains electrons and for this reason and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor)

Zn Changes from an oxidation state of 0 in Zn(s) to 2+ in Zn(NO3)2. It is oxidized and for this reason Zn is the reducing agent (electron donor).

Balanced equation:

Zn(s) +2AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

Which cell structure most resembles the human nervous system?

vlada-n [284]

The endomembrane system is the cell structure that most resembles the human nervous system. The reason for that is because it consists of a group of cell membranes and organelles that are interconnected in order to accomplish their function, similarly to those in the nervous system.

Calculate the wavelength, in nanometers, of the light emitted by a hydrogen atom when its electron fallsfrom the n = 7 to the n

Helga [31]

Answer:

λ=2167.6 nm

The wavelength of light emitted is 2167.6 nm.

Explanation:

We recall that Eₙ= $\frac{-2.18*10^{-18} J}{n^{2} }$

since there was transition from n7 to n=4 we will first calculate the change in the energy i.e ΔE

ΔE=E₄-E₇

ΔE= $-2.18*10^{-18} J(\frac{1}{4^{2} } -\frac{1}{7^{2} } )$

ΔE=-9.1760*10^-20 J

Now:

|ΔE|=Energy of photon=h*v=h*c/λ

λ=h*c/|ΔE|

λ= $\frac{6.63*10^{-34}J.s*3.00*10^{8}m/s }{9.1760*10^{-20} J }$

λ=2.1676*10^-6 m

λ=2167.6*10^-9 m

λ=2167.6 nm

The wavelength of light emitted is 2167.6 nm.

What is the correct reaction for the dissociation (ionization) for a weak acid?

slava [35]

Answer: HA + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + H- (option #4)

Explanation: Since the acid is weak you have to use a ⇌ (equilibrium) sign. Equilibrium is denoted in a chemical equation by the ⇌ symbol. Also, when any acid dissolves into water, it produces hydronium (H3O+ or H+). Therefore, the fourth chemical reaction is your answer.
