Assuming that the partial pressure of oxygen in water is that of atmospheric O2, 0.21 atm, rather than the 1.00 atm assumed in deriving Equation 4.9.5, derive an equation describing the oxidizing pE limit of water as a function of pH.

Alpha particles have positive charge, beta particles have negative charge, and answer 4 just doesn’t make sense. thus, you are left with only one possible answer.

the catch is that the top numbers are atomic masses the bottom numbers are the numbers of protons and electrons in an uncharged atom. they are the number of that atoms as you would find them on the periodic table. further, the numbers on the left are used to determine the missing numbers on the right

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z

answer

Its the second one nonmetals are moldable and easily shaped
