Corn starch, like wood, consists of a carbohydrate complex, which is why it burns – but it will only ignite when it is dispersed in air. While it's packed in the container or in a pile on the counter it will not burst into flames due to insufficient oxygen.

Explanation:

A weak acid and a strong base will form a basic salt.

Option A is acidic, this pH would be found in salts formed from reactions between strong acids and weak bases.

B and C are neutral or close to neutral and as such will be formed from weak acids and weak bases, or strong acids and strong bases.

Balance the following redox equation in acidic solution using the smallest integers possible and select the correct coefficient

romanna [79]

Answer:

Coefficient of $H^{+}(aq)$ is more than 4

Explanation:

Oxidation: $Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Balance charge: $Sn^{2+}(aq)-2e^{-}\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$ ......(1)

Reduction: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq)$

Balance Cr: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)$
Balance O and H in acidic medium: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$
Balance charge: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)+6e^{-}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$ .......(2)
