Answer:
6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e
Explanation:
The balanced oxidation half equation is;
6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e
A redox reaction is actually an acronym for oxidation-reducation reaction. Since the both reactions are complementary, there can't be oxidation without reduction and there can't be reduction without oxidation.
The main characteristic of redox reactions is that electrons are transferred in the process. The number of electrons transferred is usually deduced from the balanced reaction equation. For this reaction, the balanced overall reaction equation is;
Cr2O7^2–(aq) + 6Fe^2+(aq) +14H^+(aq)→ 2Cr^3+(aq) + 6Fe^3+ (aq) + 7H2O(l)
It is clear from the equation above that six electrons were transferred. Thus six Fe^2+ ions lost one electron each in the oxidation half equation as shown in the balanced oxidation half equation above.
Answer:
116.88g of table salt (NaCl) contains two formula units
Explanation:
Now,
We know that 1 formula unit of sodium chloride has a molar mass of 58.44g/mol
Hence;
Mass of 1 formula unit = 58.44g
Mass of x formula units = 116.88g
x = 116.88g * 1 formula unit/58.44g
x = 2 formula units
Therefore;
116.88g of table salt (NaCl) contains two formula units
Answer: -
When bismuth-212 undergoes alpha decay, it becomes ²⁰⁸Tl
Explanation: -
Mass number of ²¹²Bi = 212
Atomic number of ²¹²Bi = 83
When alpha decay occurs the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.
Mass number of daughter = 212 - 4 = 208
Atomic number of daughter = 83 - 2 = 81
It is the atomic number of Thallium Tl.
Thus the daughter nucleide is ²⁰⁸Tl.
