Answer:

(i)  Oxidizing Agent: NO2 / Reducing Agent: NH3-

(ii) Oxidizing Agent: AgNO3 / Reducing Agent: Zn

Explanation:

(i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l)

Both reactants contain nitrogen with differing oxidation states, yielding a product with a unique oxidation state of nitrogen. Thus, nitrogen experiences both oxidation and reduction in this reaction.

Nitrogen changes its oxidation state from 4+ in NO2 to 0 in N2, indicating reduction as it gains electrons. NO2 acts as the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor).

Nitrogen alters from an oxidation state of 3- in NH3 to 0 in N2, showing oxidation as it loses electrons. NH3 serves as the reducing agent (electron donor).

(ii) Zn(s) +AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

Ag shows a change in oxidation state from 1+ to 0 in Ag(s).

Ag undergoes reduction since it gains electrons, and for this reason AgNO3 is recognized as the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor).

Zn transforms from an oxidation state of 0 in Zn(s) to 2+ in Zn(NO3)2. It is oxidized, rendering Zn as the reducing agent (electron donor).

Balanced equation:

Zn(s) +2AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

A patient needs 40.0 mg of antibiotic per kilogram of body weight each day. If the patient weighs 55 kilograms.
VMariaS [2998]

Response:

2200 mg of antibiotic

Explanation:

The prescribed antibiotic dosage is 40 mg/kg of body weight.

For a patient weighing 55 kg, we calculate the dose of antibiotic as follows:

If we analyze 40/1000000, we can determine antibiotic allocation in kg per kg of weight

= 0.00004 kg of antibiotic for each kilogram

0.00004 multiplied by 55 (to find out the required amount for a 55 kg individual)

= 0.0022 kg

This 0.0022 figure converts to milligrams as follows

0.0022*10^6

= 2200 mg of antibiotic is indicated for a patient weighing 55 kg.

Magnesium metal burns with a bright white flame. What conclusions can you draw about the electron transitions that can take plac
alisha [2963]

Different wavelengths are involved.

Explanation:

When magnesium ignites with a bright white flame, it indicates that various wavelengths are related to the electron transitions occurring in the magnesium atom.

  • Upon combustion, the electrons within the atom become excited.
  • They emit characteristic light that corresponds to their energy levels.
  • White light consists of a mix of different wavelengths.
  • Seeing white light implies that multiple wavelengths combined are responsible for the observed emission.

A scientist measures the speed of sound in a monatomic gas to be 449 m/s at 20∘C. What is the molar mass of this gas?
Tems11 [2777]

Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.

Explanation:

  • To determine this, we utilize the mathematical relationship:

ν = \sqrt{3RT/M}

Where, ν represents the speed of light in a gas (ν = 449 m/s),

R denotes the universal gas constant (R = 8.314 J/mol.K),

T stands for the temperature of the gas in Kelvin (T = 20 °C + 273 = 293 K),

M is the molar mass of the gas in (Kg/mol).

ν = \sqrt{3RT/M}

(449 m/s) = √(3(8.314 J/mol.K)(293 K)/M,

by squaring both sides:

(449 m/s)² = (3(8.314 J/mol.K)(293 K))/M,

thus M = (3(8.314 J/mol.K)(293 K)/(449 m/s)² = 7308.006/201601 = 0.03625 Kg/mol.

Thus, the molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.
