The balanced redox reaction, if it occurs in acidic solution, is

5C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + 2MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16H⁺-----> 10CO₂(g) + 2Mn²⁺(aq) + 8H₂O(l)

<h3>What are redox reaction?</h3>

Redox reactions are those in which loss and again of electrons occur.

To balance the redox reaction, we must first break the whole reaction into half equations;

Oxidation half equation

\rm 5C_2O4^2^-(aq) + 10e + 8H^+----- > 10CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(l)

Reduction half equation

\rm 2MnO_4^- (aq) + 10e + 8H^+----- > 2Mn^2+(aq) + 4H_2O(l)

Now combine both the reactions

\rm 5C_2O_4^2-(aq) + 2MnO4^- (aq) + 16H^+----- > 10CO_2(g) + 2Mn^2+(aq) + 8H_2O(l)

Thus, the coefficient of H₂C₂O₄ is 5 and that of water is 8.

A 2.684-g sample of zinc oxide was reduced by hydrogen gas, resulting in 2. 156 g of pure zinc metal. Determine the empirical fo
Afina-wow [57]

The empirical formula of the initial zinc oxide is ZnO.

<h3>What is Empirical Formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound represents the ratios of elements in a compound but not the actual numbers or arrangement of the atoms.

It is the lowest whole number ratio of the element in the compound.

<h3>How to find out the empirical formula?</h3>
  • Find out the given masses and molar masses of the elements

The molar mass of Zn = 65 gmol⁻¹

Given the mass of Zn = 2.156 g

The molar mass of Oxygen = 16 gmol⁻¹

The mass of Oxygen = Mass of a sample of zinc oxide - the mass of zinc metal

                                   = (2.684 - 2.156) g

                                   = 0.528 g

  • Find the number of moles of the elements in the compound

The number of moles is given by

n = \frac{m}{M}

where m = given mass and

M = Molar mass

Number of moles of Zinc = \frac{2.156}{65} = 0.033 moles

Number of moles of Oxygen =\frac{0.528}{16} = 0.033 moles

  • Find the simplest ratios of the elements in the compound. To find the ratios simply divide the number of moles by the lowest number of moles obtained.

Here, the number of moles is the same for both elements. Hence, the simplest ratio for Zn:O is 1:1.

Therefore, the empirical formula of zinc oxide is ZnO.

The process of fermentation involves chemical reactions that convert solid glucose (C6H12O6) into aqueous ethanol and carbon dio
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

C6H12O6 —> C2H5OH + CO2

We can balance the equation above as follow:

There are 12 atoms of H on the left side and 6 atoms of the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of C2H5OH as shown below:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + CO2

There are 6 atoms of C on the left side and 5 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Now the equation is balanced.
