balance the oxidation reduction PbO2 yields Pb2+ + O2


Answer :-

oxidation number of oxygen in compound state is -2 
so the oxidation number of Pb in PbO2 
Pb + 2(-2)  = 0 
             Pb = 4 
and Pb +2 has oxidation number +2 
              change in oxidation number is 2-4 = - 2  (reduction )
oxidation number of oxygen in O2 is 0 
so change in oxidation of oxygen is  0- (2)  = 2 (oxidation )
and there are oxygen atom there
                so change in oxidation number is = 2* 2 
                                                                      = 4 
 there ratio of oxidation and reduction is  4  :  2   = 2  :   1  
cross multiply by these relation we get

balance the oxidation reduction reaction

A card is selected from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. A standard deck of cards has 12 face cards and four Aces (Aces are not face cards). Find the probability of selecting · a five given the card is a not a club. · a heart given the card is red. · a face card, given that the card is black. Show step by step work. Give all solutions exactly in reduced fraction form

A card is selected from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. A standard deck of cards has 12 face cards and four Aces (Aces are not face cards). 
Find the probability of selecting · 
  1.  a five given the card is a not a club. 
  2.  a heart given the card is red. 
  3.  a face card, given that the card is black.
 Show step by step work. Give all solutions exactly in reduced fraction form

Answer : -

1) there are total 4 five cards but one of them is five of club 
so number of 5 which is not club are 3   
 and there are total 13 clubs card 
       so non clubs card will 52- 13 will  39

formula of probability = favorable out comes / total out comes 
 so probability of  a five given the card is a not a club.                                                                    = 3/39

2) there are total 13 heart card 
    and total red cards are 26 

so that probability of  card is red  
                                            = 13/26 
                                            = 1/2

3) there are total 26 black card 
  there will 3 face card of spades (♠) and 
                3 face card of  clubs (♣)
 so total card will be 6 of spades and clubs

probability of a face card, given that the card is black
                                         = favorable out comes / total out comes 
                                         =6/26 
                                         = 3/13

St andrews golf course in st andrews scotland is one of the oldest courses in the world. it is an 18-hole course that consists of par-3 holes, par-4 holes and par-5 holes. a golfer who shoots par at the old course at st andrews has a total of 72 strokes for the entire course. there are seven times as many par-4 holes as par- 5 holes,and the sum of the numbers of par-3 and par-5 holes is four.find the numbers of par-3, par-4 and par-5 holes in the course?

St andrews golf course in st andrews scotland is one of the oldest courses in the world. it is an 18-hole course that consists of par-3 holes, par-4 holes and par-5 holes. a golfer who shoots par at the old course at st andrews has a total of 72 strokes for the entire course. there are seven times as many par-4 holes as par- 5 holes,and the sum of the numbers of par-3 and par-5 holes is four.find the numbers of par-3, par-4 and par-5 holes in the course?
                let x represent the par 3   
                    y represent the pr 4 
                    z represent the par 5 

       18-hole course that consists of par-3 holes, par-4 holes and par-5 holes.

                                            so     x + y + z = 18    ..............(1)

                          seven times as many par -4 holes as par -5 holes

                                           so                 y = 7z      .............(2)


sum of the number of par-3 and par 5 holes is four 
                                           so          x + z  = 4 
             subtract   z both side we get 

                                                              x  = 4- z                  ................(3)

 put the value of  x and y in equation first we get

                                              4-z + 7z + z = 18 
                                                      4 + 7z  = 18 
                                                              7z =  18- 4 
                                                                z = 14/7
                                                                z = 2   

put the value of z in equation second and third we get 
                                                              y = 7z  
                                                                 = 7* 2 
                                                                 = 14 

                                                     and    x  = 4-z 
                                                                   =4- 2 
                                                                   = 2
 Answer is   x= 2 , y = 14 and z = 2

Determine specific heat in J/g times degree celcius . Mass of substance 29.2g, initial temp 34.4degrees celcius, final temp 68.1degrees celcius, heat applied 436.9 j, what is the formula of hear capacity ?

Q- 1 What is the heat capacity ?
Answer :- Amount of heat which required to raise the temperature of one gram substance by one degree Centigrade is called  heat capacity of that substance.

example:-
heat capacity of water is 4.18 j /gC  
That means one gram of water require heat 4.18 j  to raise the temperature of water by one degree centigrade.


 Q-2  Determine specific heat in J/g times degree celcius . Mass of substance 29.2g, initial temp 34.4degrees celcius, final temp 68.1degrees celcius, heat applied 436.9 j, what is the formula of hear capacity ?
 Answer
Formula for the heat Q = M*C*delta T
                  M = mass of the substance in gram
                  C = specific hear capacity of substance
          delta T = final temperature  - initial temperature

from the problem
           delta T = 68.1 - 34.4
                      =33.7 C

         Mass M = 29.2 gram
         Heat Q  = 436.9j

plug the value in above formula we get
                    Q = M*C*delta T
            436.9 j = 29.2 gram * C* 33.7degree Celsius
              436.9 = 984.04gram degree celcius *  C

divide by 984.04gram degree Celsius we get
                 
 0.44 j / gram degree celcius = C (specific heat capacity )

 Answer heat capacity = 0.44 j/g K  or 0.44j/gC
heat capacity of water
heat capacity of water
