kirza4 [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

an organic compound made by replacing the hydrogen of an acid by an alkyl or other organic group. Many naturally occurring fats and essential oils are esters of fatty acids

Explanation:

ester, any of a class of organic compounds that react with water to produce alcohols and organic or inorganic acids. Esters derived from carboxylic acids are the most common. The term ester was introduced in the first half of the 19th century by German chemist Leopold Gmelin

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

1.4 mols

4th answer

Explanation:

22. 5 g of O2 in moles = (22.5/32) mols = 0.703 mol

The stoichiometry between O2 and H2O =1: 2

Therefore H2O produced = 2 * 0.703 mols=1.406 mols

Balance the following half reaction in basic conditions. Then, indicate the coefficients for H2O and OH– for the balanced half r
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The ballance half reactions are:

Mg²⁺  + 2e⁻ → Mg

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

Coefficients for H2O and OH– are 3 for H₂O (in products side) and 6 for OH⁻ (in reactants side)

Explanation:

Si (s) + Mg(OH)₂ (s) → Mg (s) + SiO₃²⁻ (aq)

Let's see the oxidations number.

As any element in ground state, we know that oxidation state is 0, so Si in reactants and Mg in products, have 0.

Mg in reactants, acts with +2, so the oxidation number has decreased.

This is the reduction, so it has gained electrons.

Si in reactants acts with 0 so in products we find it with +4. The oxidation number increased it, so this is oxidation. The element has lost electrons.

Let's take a look to half reactions:

Mg²⁺  + 2e⁻ → Mg

Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻

In basic medium, we have to add water, as the same amount of oxygen we have, IN THE SAME SIDE. We have 3 oxygens in products, so we add 3 H₂O and in the opposite site we can add OH⁻, to balance the hydrogen. The half reaciton will be:

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

If we want to ballance the main reaction we have to multiply (x2) the half reaction of oxidation. So the electrons can be ballanced.

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

Now, that they are ballanced we can sum the half reactions:

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻  + 6OH⁻ + Si  → 2Mg  +  SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O
