Answer:

Compound consist of molecules that are identical, this molecules are made up of atoms of two or more elements. An element is identified based on the atomic property of the element. Water as a compound is composed of 2 Hydrogen atom to 1 oxygen atom and the molecule is H2O.

What is the balanced form of the following equation? Br 2 + S 2 O 3 2– + H 2 O → Br 1– + SO 4 2– + H +

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

Explanation:

Br₂ + S₂O₃²⁻ + H₂O → Br⁻ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺

This is a redox reaction:

Br₂ changes the oxidation state from 0 to -1, so it was reduced

In the S₂O₃⁻² anion S changes the oxidation state from +2 to +6 in sulfate anion. (S₂O₃⁻², it is called thiosulfate)

We have protons in the main equation, so we assume we are in acidic medium:

Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻ Reduction

We balanced the bromide with 2, so the bromine has gained 2 electrons.

5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8e- Oxidation

First of all, we add 2 to the sulfate anion in the product side, in order to balance the S.

As we have 8 O in right side, and 3 O in left side, we must add 5 O. We add 5 water in the place where the O are lower (reactant side).

Now, we have 10 H, in the reactant side, so we balance the product side with protons (10 H⁺).

Sulfur changed the oxidation state from +2 to +6, so it released 4 electrons, but, if you see thiosulfate anion you have 2 sulfurs so finally it has released 8 electrons.

Electrons are unbalanced so we multiply reduction x4, and oxidation x1.

(Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻) . 4 = 4Br₂ + 8e⁻ → 8Br⁻

(5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8e-) . 1 = STAYS THE SAME.

We sum both half reactions, to cancel the elecetrons:

4Br₂ + 8e⁻ + 5H₂O + S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8e- + 8Br⁻

Finally the balanced reaction is: 4Br₂+ 5H₂O+ S₂O₃²⁻ → 2SO₄²⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8Br⁻

All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. Explain this statement.

Elis [28]

All compounds are molecules because a molecule is 2 or more substances/elements combined and a compound is 2 or more elements combined. But not all molecules are elements because some molecules are just combined substances with no elements combined at all.

Hello! I just need a little bit of help. I'm supposed to design an experiment on how reaction rates are determined and affected

alexandr1967 [171]

Get 3 cups of water at the exact same temperature, using the thermometer to check.
Label the cups as ‘whole’, ‘pieces’, and ‘crushed’
Next, get something to dissolve, in this case, polident. Take one of the polident tablets and break it into 4 pieces, and set it aside.
Take another polident tablet and this time put it into a different cup, and crush it. Set it aside.
Keep the last tablet whole.
Set up your stopwatch and drop the polident tablet that is whole in the cup labeled ‘whole’, starting the stopwatch at the same time.
Watch the cup and see when the tablet is fully dissolved, then stop the stopwatch.
Record the time in the table.
Repeat steps 6-8 for both the ‘pieces’ and ‘crushed’ tablets.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a great day!

Stay Brainy!

Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes. Cu−63 has a mass of 62.939 amu and relative abundance of 69.17%.

fiasKO [112]

The answer is 64.907 amu.

The atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes. The relative abundance of isotopes must be taken into consideration, therefore:
atomic mass of copper = atomic mass of isotope 1 * abundance 1 + atomic mass of isotope 2 * abundance 2

We know:
atomic mass of copper = 63.546 amu
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: 62.939 amu
The abundance of isotope 1 is: 69.17% = 0.6917
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: x
The abundance of isotope 2: 100% - 69.17% = 30.83% = 0.3083

Thus:
63.546 amu = 62.939 amu * 0.6917 + x * 0.3083
63.546 amu = 43.535 amu + 0.3083x
⇒ 63.546 amu - 43.535 amu = 0.3083x
⇒ 20.011 amu = 0.3083x
⇒ x = 20.011 amu ÷ 0.3083 = 64.907 amu
