Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The following half reaction in acidic medium should be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
A half reaction for a redox
In oxidation, loss of electrons occurs whereas in reduction, gain of electrons occurs.
A balanced reaction is a reaction in which number of atoms and charges should be equal on both reactant as well as on product side.
(b)
Interpretation:
The following half reaction in acidic medium should be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
A half reaction for a redox chemical reaction shows the half component of a given redox reaction which means it will show the oxidation and reduction of half reactions separately.
In oxidation, loss of electrons occurs whereas in reduction, gain of electrons occurs.
A balanced reaction is a reaction in which number of atoms and charges should be equal on both reactant as well as on product side.
(c)

The following half reaction in acidic medium should be balanced.

Draw and label all possible isomers for [M(py)3(DMSO)2(CI)] (py = pyridine, DMSO dimethylsulfoxide).arrow_forwardThe emission data in cps displayed in Table 1 is reported to two decimal places by the chemist. However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes. Instrumental data…arrow_forward
