Which equation represents a reduction half-reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
horsena [70]1 year ago
7 0

Answer:

Fe3+ + 3e– --------> Fe

Explanation:

Reduction refers to a gain of electrons. A specie is said to be reduced when it gains electrons or when it experiences a decrease in oxidation number. The both sentences above can be clearly seen when inspecting a reduction half equation.

Consider the redox reaction half equation;

Fe3+ + 3e– ------>Fe

We can see that Fe^3+ accepted three electrons, the oxidation number of iron thereby decreased from +3 to zero from left to right. This implies that the Fe^3+ was actually reduced according to the equation shown.

A laboratory utilizes a mixture of 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the freezing and long-term storage of embryonic stem cells.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer is "1.0100".

Explanation:

Let the volume of mixture be 100 ml.

then,

The volume of DMSO will be 10 mL as well as that of water will be 90 mL.

DMSO will be:

= 10\times 1.1004

= 11.004 \ g

The total mass of mixture will be:

= 90+11.004

= 101.004 \ g

Density of mixture will be:

= \frac{Mass}{Volume}

= \frac{101.004}{100}

= 1.01004 \ g/mL

hence,

Specific gravity of mixture will be:

= \frac{Density \ of \ mixture}{Density \ of \ water}

= \frac{1.01004}{1}

= 1.0100

Functional group and bond hybridization of vanillin
lana66690 [7]

Vanillin is the common name for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde.

See attached figure for the structure.

Vanillin have 3 functional groups:

1) aldehyde group:  R-HC=O, in which the carbon is double bonded to oxygen

2) phenolic hydroxide group: R-OH, were the hydroxyl group is bounded to a carbon from the benzene ring

3) ether group: R-O-R, were hydrogen is bounded through sigma bonds to carbons

Now for the hybridization we have:

The carbon atoms involved in the benzene ring and the red carbon atom (from the aldehyde group) have a <u>sp²</u> hybridization because they are involved in double bonds.

The carbon atom from the methoxy group (R-O-CH₃) and the blue oxygen's have a  <u>sp³</u>  hybridization because they are involved only in single bonds.

Metals with ________ electron configurations characteristically form diamagnetic, square planar complexes.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Diamagnetism , paramagnetism and ferromagnetism are terms which are used to describe the magnetic activity of transition metals. These terms helps to know the response the metal will have when placed in a magnetic field. These activities can be discerned from the d-block electronic configuration. If the number of electrons are even, this means they all form a pair and the metal is diamagnetic. If otherwise, there is an unpaired electron which causes the paramagnetic activity of the metal in magnetic field.

To the question, options A-D are diamagnetic but configurations with d8 are the ones that form square planar complexes

What is the hydroxide ion concentration of the lake described in question 3?
Sholpan [36]
The hydroxide concentration is written as [OH-]. A useful equation is that pH + pOH = 14. Since the pH is 4, the pOH must be 10. To get [OH-], again take the neg. anti-log of both sides: - anti log (pOH-) = - antilog(10) ---> [OH-]=1 x 10^-10 M or 1 x 10^-10 moles [OH-] per liter solution (in this case, lake).
The hydroxide ion concentration describe in question 3 is 10-10 M

Why was methyl red used as an indicator in this experiment rather than phenolphthalein?
wolverine [178]
Methyl Red, also called C.I. Acid Red 2, is an indicator dye that turns red in acidic solutions. 
Phenolphthalein is a sensitive chemical with the formula C20H14O4 (often written as "HIn" in chemistry shorthand notation). Often used in titrations, it turns from colorless in acidic solutions to pink in basic solutions. If the concentration of indicator is particularly strong, it can appear purple. A phenolphtalein turns a bright orange color, in a solution containing a ph below 0.
