Taking into account the rule of three, the volume of air that you inhale (and exhale) in 12.0 hours is 4,384.8 liters.

<h3>Rule of three</h3>

In first place, the rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.

That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three.  

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other) , the direct rule of three must be applied.

To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed, being a, b and c known data and x the variable to be calculated:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x=\frac{cxb}{a}

<h3 /><h3>Volume of air inhaled and exhaled</h3>

To calculated the volume of air inhaled and exhaled in 12 hours, you know that each breath has a volume of 0.435 liters, and that you are breathing 14 times a minute.

The you can apply the following rule of three: If each breath has a volume of 0.435 liters, 14 breaths have how much volume?

volume=\frac{14 breathsx0.435 liters}{1 breath}

<u><em>volume= 6.09 liters</em></u>

So, 14 breaths a minute have a volume of 6.09 liters, this means that in 1 minute you inhale and exhale 6.09 liters.

Now, knowing that 1 hour has 60 minutes, 12 hours has 720 minutes. So you can apply the following rule of three: in 1 minute you inhale and exhale 6.09 liters, in 720 minutes you inhale and exhale how much volume?

volume=\frac{720 minutesx6.09 liters}{1 minute}

<u><em>volume= 4,384.8 liters</em></u>

In summary, the volume of air that you inhale (and exhale) in 12.0 hours is 4,384.8 liters.

Be sure to answer all parts. The sulfate ion can be represented with four S―O bonds or with two S―O and two S═O bonds. (a) Which
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

a) Representation - (in attachment)

b) Tetrahedral geometry and

c) sp^{3} hybrid orbitals invovle sigma bonding.

\pi orbitals are formed by the overlapping of d-orbitals of sulfur with p-orbitals of oxygen.

Explanation:

a)

Representation in attachment.

The overall charge in the both structures are -2. The structure (b) is favored by the resonance structures since the formal charge with in the species are remained.

Therefore, structure (b) is the better representation of sulfate ion.

b)

In sulfate ion, sulfur atom is attached with four different oxygen atoms. According to the VSEPR theory , the sufate ion has tetrahedral geometry.

There is four sigma bonds and zero lone pairs present on the central metal atom.

Hence, the hybridization of the sulfur atom is sp^{3}

c)

The s and p orbitals of sulfur invovles hybridization and form sigma bonds.The orbitals of sulfur involves \pi bonding.

Therefore, \pi bonds are formed by the overlapping of d-orbitals of sulfur with  p-orbitals of oxygen.

Describe how oxidation and reduction involve electrons, change oxidation numbers, and combine in oxidation-reduction reactions.
photoshop1234 [79]
The process of oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom or ion and reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state. The oxidation number is the total number of electrons that an atom gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom. Redox reactions are electron transfer processes and include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed.
