When potassium metal is placed in water, a large amount of energy is released as potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced in the reaction 2K(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H2(g). Your lab partner says this is a redox reaction and a combustion reaction. Do you agree? Defend your answer by explaining whether or not it meets the requirements of each type of reaction.

- Cyanobacteria are chemosynthetic organisms that reside deep in the ocean near hydrothermal vents. Archeoglobus, one of these types of cyanobacteria, uses the pathway shown in the chemical equation. 4H2 + SO42− + 2H+ → H2S + 4H2O Based on this equation, which explanation best describes how the process of chemosynthesis in bacteria differs from photosynthesis, and why can this process occur in the absence of oxygen? Chemosynthesis uses H2 as an energy source, while photosynthesis uses the Sun as an energy source. Chemosynthesis uses H+ as an energy source, while photosynthesis uses the Sun as an energy source. Chemosynthesis reduces a sulfate molecule in the absence of oxygen and light, while photosynthesis depends on light to reduce carbon dioxide. Chemosynthesis oxidizes a sulfate molecule in the absence of oxygen and light, while photosynthesis depends on light to reduce carbon dioxide.arrow_forwardDiiodine pentaoxide oxidizes carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide under room conditions, yielding iodine as the sec- ond product: 1,O3(s) + 5 CO(g) → L(s) + 5 CO2(g) This can be used in an analytical method to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in a sample of air. Determine the oxidation numbers of the atoms in this equation. Which species is oxidized and which is reduced?arrow_forwardIn Module #4, we discussed the role of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in catalyzing the destruction of O3 in the stratosphere. One example of a CFC that is known to exasperate formation of the hole in the O3 layer is dichlorodifluoromethane (CF2Cl2). In the year 2000, this chemical reached its peak concentration of 2.2 x 10-11 M in the atmosphere. The destruction of CF2Cl2 can be approximated as a first-order process and the 1996 treaty on CFC emissions has eliminated its release into the atmosphere. Given that the rate constant for destruction of CF2Cl2 in the atmosphere is 0.009 yr-1, how long will it take for the concentration of CF2Cl2 to decline to 0.22 x 10-11 M?arrow_forward

Despite protests by residents lugging jugs of discoloured water, officials maintained that the water was safe. A study conducted the following year by researchers at Virginia Tech revealed the problem: Water samples collected from 252 homes through a resident-organized effort indicated citywide lead levels had spiked, with nearly 17% of samples registering above the federal “action level”. More than 40% measured above 5 ppb of lead, which the researchers considered an indication of a “very serious” problem.” Lead (Pb) was released from the distribution pipeline in the city of Flint due to a switch of the water source.
