5 0

Answer:

oxidation numbers

Explanation:

chemical equation tells the story of a chemical reaction. Reactants are the starting substances in the reaction while products are the new substances that are formed. The large numbers in front of some of the formulae are called coefficients. These coefficients are used to balance the equation. Chemical reactions must obey the Law of Conservation of Matter. The number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation must be equal because matter cannot be created or destroyed

Write a balanced half-reaction for the oxidation of aqueous hydrazine N2H4 to gaseous nitrogen N2 in basic aqueous solution
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

N2H2(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) ----------> N2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 2e

Explanation:

Hydrazine is mostly used in thermal engineering as an anticorrosive agent. Hydrazine can be oxidized in aqueous solution as shown in the equation above. Oxidation has to do with loss of electrons and increase in oxidation number.

The oxidation number of nitrogen in the equation increased from -1 in hydrazine on the lefthand side of the reaction equation to zero in nitrogen on the right hand side of the reaction equation. Two electrons were lost in the process as shown.

How many molecules are in 1.28 mols of silicon dioxide​
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

7.71x10^23 molecules

Explanation:

Avogadro's # = 6.022x10^23

1.28 mol SiO2 x 6.022x10^23/ 1 mol SiO2 = 7.71x10^23 molecules

Answer:

[H⁺] = 1.0 x 10⁻¹² M.

Explanation:

∵ [H⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.

[OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻² mol/L.

∴ [H⁺] =  10⁻¹⁴/[OH⁻] = (10⁻¹⁴)/(1 x 10⁻² mol/L) = 1.0 x 10⁻¹² M.

∵ pH = - log[H⁺] = - log(1.0 x 10⁻¹² M) = 12.0.

∴ The solution is basic, since pH id higher than 7 and also the  [OH⁻] > [H⁺].
