The following is known as the thermite reaction: 2al(s)+fe2o3(s)→al2o3(s)+2fe(s) this highly exothermic reaction is used for welding massive units, such as propellers for large ships. using enthalpies of formation in appendix c, calculate δh∘ for this reaction.

Abullet found at a crime scene may be used as evidence in a trial if the percentage of metals match to the composition of metals in a bullet from the suspect's ammunition. a forensic scientist's analysis of the bullet shows that it contains 11.9 g of lead, 0.5 g of tin, and 0.8 b of antimony. what is the percentage of lead metal in the bullet? express your answers to the one's place.

The diagram shows the positions of the sun, moon and earth during spring tides, when the high tides are at their highest and low tides at their lowest. what is it about these positions that causes these high and low tides?

Oxidation-reduction reactions (often called "redox" for short) are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another. oxidation states, or oxidation numbers, allow chemists to keep track of these electron transfers. in general, one element will lose electrons (oxidation), with the result that it will increase in oxidation number, and another element will gain electrons (reduction), thereby decreasing in oxidation number. the species that is oxidized is called the reducing agent or reductant. the species that is reduced is called the oxidizing agent or oxidant. to sum up: oxidation = increase in oxidation state = loss of electrons = reducing agent reduction = decrease in oxidation state = gain of electrons = oxidizing agent part a which element is oxidized in this reaction? fe2o3+3co→2fe+3co2 enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is oxidized part b which element is reduced in this reaction? 2hcl+2kmno4+3h2c2o4→6co2+2mno2+2kcl+4h2o enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is reduced
