What is the key factor in defining a reaction as an oxidation-reduction reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kari74 [83]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Transfer of electrons between atoms

Explanation:

Just because it has the prefix "oxi" it doesn't necessarily mean that oxygen exists as a reactant.

Making and breaking ionic compounds happen right before or after redox reactions after the atoms or ions are modified into one another.

precipitation occurs during the redox rxns involved in electrolysis & daniel cells. but it is not a key factor.

A first-order reaction has a half-life of 29.2 s . how long does it take for the concentration of the reactant in the reaction t
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer is: it takes 116,8 seconds to fall to one-sixteenth of its initial value

<span> The half-life for the chemical reaction is 29,2 s and is independent of initial concentration.
c</span>₀ - initial concentration the reactant.

c - concentration of the reactant remaining at time.

t = 29,2 s.<span>
First calculate the rate constant k:
k = 0,693 ÷ t = 0,693 ÷ 29,2 s</span> = 0,0237 1/s.<span>
ln(c/c</span>₀) = -k·t₁.<span>
ln(1/16 </span>÷ 1) = -0,0237 1/s · t₁.

t₁ = 116,8 s.

What mass of oxygen is needed to burn 4g of hydrogen, given the equation below
aleksandrvk [35]

32g of oxygen is required to burn 4g of hydrogen.

Define molecular mass.

A specific molecule's mass is expressed in daltons and is known as the molecular mass (m) (Da or u). Due to the varying isotopes of an element that they contain, multiple molecules of the same substance can have distinct molecular weights.

The total atomic mass of every atom in a molecule, calculated using a scale with hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen having atomic masses of 1, 12, 14, and 16, respectively. For instance, water has a molecular mass of 18 (2 + 16), which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. known also as molecular weight.

In ,2H2+O2-----> 2H2O

H 2 molecules have a mass of 2 g/mol.

The molecular weight of oxygen is 32 g/mol.

When the chemical equation is balanced,

To totally react, 32 g of oxygen are needed for every 22=4 g of hydrogen.

What is the term for a reaction in which a substance gains an electron
Scorpion4ik [409]

Every redox reaction consists of two parts, the oxidation and the reduction. Each one separately is called a half - reaction. During the redox reaction there is a transfer of electrons from the substance being oxidized to the substance being reduced.

How does atomic radius change from top to bottom in a group in the periodic table?
suter [353]
The atomic radius increases as you would go down a particular group on the periodic table of elements. This is because along with a greater number of protons, there would also be electrons as well, and thus the need of electron shells surrounding the atom would also be required, to compensate for the more electrons, as according to the bohr model, each shell contains 8 electrons in its electron shell. Thus the distance from the nucleus to the outermost shell increases, the atomic radius.

Carbon atoms can be identified based on the # of which subatomic particles
34kurt

Answer: protons and neutrons.

The nucleus is made up of 3 subatomic particles that are protons,neutrons and electrons.  

General notation of an element is _{Z}^{A}\textrm{X}

where, X is the Element, A is the Atomic Mass and Z is the Atomic Number

If we know the number of protons we can easily find out the atomic number of any element because Atomic Number = Number of protons in an element.

And in addition if we know the number of neutrons we can easily find out the atomic mass of an element because

Atomic Mass = (Number of protons) + (Number of neutrons)

If we get to know the atomic number and atomic mass, we can easily tell what element is it by looking from the periodic table.
