Q:

Which of the following reactions are redox reactions?

A) Ba(s)+Cl2(g)--->BaCl2(s) B) Mg(s)+Br2(l)--->MgBr2(s)
C) Al(s)+3Ag^+(aq)--->Al^3+(aq)+3Ag(s) D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) All of the above

Explanation:

A redox reaction is a type of reaction which involves transfer of electrons among two species. This reaction is also called oxidation-reduction reaction.

In oxidation process, there is an increase in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by losing the electrons.

In reduction process, there is a decrease in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by accepting the electrons.

In this reaction, Ba undergoes oxidation and Cl undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Ba increases from 0 to +2 . So, Ba undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 to -1. So, Cl undergoes reduction.

 

2)

From this above reaction, it is clear that Aluminum undergoes oxidation and silver undergoes reduction.
Due to this, this reaction is redox reaction.

In this reaction, oxidation number of Aluminum increases from 0 to +1. So, aluminum undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of silver decreases from +1 to 0. So, silver undergoes reduction.

In this reaction, Mg undergoes oxidation and Br undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
The reactions 1, 3 and 4 are redox reactions.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Mg increases from 0 to +2 . So, Mg undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Br decreases from 0 to -1 . So, Br undergoes reduction.

 

Hence all the above reactions are redox reactions.

Q:

The main result of aerobic respiration is the

A) production of lactic acid as an end product B) production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose
C) conversion of radiant energy into chemical energy D) storage of energy in a polysaccharide
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose

Explanation:

The three steps within the aerobic respiration process are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Photosynthesis builds glucose, and what was built in photosynthesis is broken down during aerobic respiration.

 

Hence, production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose is the main result of aerobic respiration.

Q:

Movement of cell against concentration gradient is called

A) active transport B) diffusion
C) osmosis D) passive transport
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) active transport

Explanation:

The only transport method that can move species against their concentration gradient i.e, from low to high concentration is called Active transport.

 

Facilitated diffusion only moves species down their concentration gradient i.e, from high to low concentration.

Q:

Oxidation number of S8?

A) +1 B) -2
C) +2 D) 0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 0

Explanation:

S8 is an elemental form of sufur. In elemental form it can't be reduced or oxidized. Hence, it oxidation number is zero and thus sulfur is zerovalent here.
