The warmer temperatures at Zeke's destination caused the volume of air in his tires to increase.
The Aufbau principle states that, hypothetically, electrons orbiting one or more atoms fill the lowest available energy levels before filling higher levels (e.g., 1s before 2s). In this way, the electrons of an atom, molecule, or ion harmonize into the most stable electron configuration possible.
Answer:
1) SO₄
²⁻ : (+6)
H₂S : (-2)
Explanation:
a) <u>Sulfate reducers</u> are widespread in muds and other sediments, water-logged soils, etc., environments that contain SO₄ ²⁻ and become anoxic as a result of microbial decomposition.
Sulfate (SO₄ ²⁻), the most oxidized form of sulfur (+6), <u>is reduced</u> by these
sulfate-reducing bacteria. The end product of sulfate reduction is hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, (oxidation number -2) an important natural product that participates in many biogeochemical processes. The H₂S they generate is responsible for the pungent smell (like that of rotten eggs) often encountered near coastal ecosystems. When sulfate-reducing bacteria grow, the H₂S formed from SO₄ ²⁻ reduction combines with the ferrous iron to form black, insoluble ferrous sulfide, which is not toxic. This is important for the conservation of the environment.
b) The net ionic equation under acidic conditions is:
4 H₂ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺ → HS⁻ + 4 H₂O
Global reaction: SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ → H₂S + O₂
