B.) Digestion

when food passes through the gastrointestinal tract, the food get mixed with digestive juices which break down large food molecules. The body absorbs these molecules/nutrients through the small intestine and enter your blood stream. Your blood stream delivers these nutrients to the rest of the body.

g Select the correct statements. I. Reduction is the loss of electrons, and oxidation is the gain of electrons II. Reduction is

Karolina [17]

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the substance decreases.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

Oxidizing agents are the agents that helps in the oxidation of other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the substance increases.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reducing agents are the agents that helps in the reduction of the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation state is the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. It is written as a superscript. In a compound, the total charge is equal to the sum of the charges of all atoms in that compound. For Example: In $MnO_4^-$ , manganese has +7 oxidation number and oxygen has -2.

So, the charge on the compound = $[=7+(4\times (-2))]=-1$

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

9.69×10^25 formula units of iron(III) nitrate is equal to how many moles of Fe(NO3)3?

scoray [572]

Answer:

160.9 mol ≅ 161.0 mol.

Explanation:

It is known that every 1.0 mole of compound or element contains Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³) of molecules or atoms (formula units).

Using cross multiplication:

1.0 mole of Fe(NO₃)₃ contains → 6.022 x 10²³ formula units.

??? mole of Fe(NO₃)₃ contains → 9.69 x 10²⁵ formula units.

∴ The no. of moles of He contains (9.69 x 10²⁵ formula units) = (1.0 mol)(9.69 x 10²⁵ formula units.)/(6.022 x 10²³ formula units) = 160.9 mol ≅ 161.0 mol.

does anyone know how to find the electron configuration of an element without using a periodic table?? group and period is alrea

snow_lady [41]

For that you have to use the Aufbau principle

For example, writing the electronic configuration of Fe(28)

I recommend that you memorize the aufbau principle. Once you learn it, you don’t need anything else except the atomic number of the element to write it’s electronic configuration.
