Answer:
a.option is the correct answer
A redox reaction --> a reaction whereby oxidation & reduction occurs
Reduction:
Charge of Cl2 = 0
Charge of Cl- in NaCl = -1
Hence, since charge of Cl2 decreased from 0 in Cl2 to -1 in NaCl, reduction occured.
Oxidation:
Charge of Na = 0
Charge of Na+ in NaCl = +1
Hence, since charge of Na increased from 0 in Na to +1 in NaCl, oxidation occured.
Since both oxidation & reduction occured in the reaction, it is a redox reaction.
I’m not sure what the answer is but I hope someone can help you
Answer:
Al is oxidized while Ag is reduced.
Explanation:
The complete molecular equation is;
3Ag2S + 2Al --> 6Ag + Al2S3
Oxidation half equation;
2Al ------> 2Al^3+ + 6e
Reduction half equation;
6Ag^+ + 6e -------> 6Ag
Overall redox reaction equation;
2Al + 6Ag^+ ----->2Al^3+ + 6Ag
Hence; Al is oxidized while Ag is reduced.
The volume of hydrogen gas that evolved is calculated as follows
by use of ideal gas equation
that is PV = nRT
P=745 mm hg
V= ?
R(gas constant)= 62.36 L.mm hg/mol.k
T= 20 + 273 = 293 k
n=number of moles which is calculated as follows
find the moles of Na used
= 0.52/23=0.023 moles
write the reacting equation
2Na +2H2O =2NaOH +H2
by use of reacting ratio between Na : H2 which is 2:1 therefore the mole of H2 = 0.023/2 =0.0115 moles
by making the volume the subject of the formula
v=nRT/P
V= (0.0115 x 62.36 x 293) / 745 = 0.283 L
