Answer: The structure of an atom, theoretically consisting of a positively charged nucleus surrounded and neutralized by negatively charged electrons revolving in orbits at varying distances from the nucleus, the constitution of the nucleus and the arrangement of the electrons differing with various chemical elements.
:) I hope this helped! :)
<span>A reducing agent loses electrons, so on the left side of the equation N in HNO2 has an oxidation number of +3 and on the right side in NO3^- it has an oxidation number of +5, so it has lost electrons. Thus, the reducing agent would be HNO2.</span>
Answer:
A). An atom is an indivisible hard-sphere.
Explanation:
The 'Atomic Theory' of Dalton is characterized as the earliest model(came in 1803) which described the atoms as the indivisible and resistant spheres. He <u>used the example of watermelon to elaborate that the atoms of a specific element share similar characteristics</u> and the atoms of distinct elements differ in their mass as well as their size. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
H₂ is the limiting reactant.
<u>Explanation:</u>
H₂ reacts with O₂
The reaction would be
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
According to the balanced equation, 2 moles of H₂ reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to form 2 moles of H₂O.
The ratio of usage of H₂ and O₂ is 2 : 1 respectively
If 3 moles of H₂ and 2 moles of O₂ are present then:
3 moles of H₂ would require 1.5 moles of O₂ ( 2 : 1 of H₂ and O₂ )
Out of 2 moles of O₂, 1.5 moles would be used and 0.5 mole would be in excess.
Therefore, H₂ is the limiting reactant as the number of moles of H₂ are not enough to use all the O₂.
