Explanation:
Mg+O>MgO
Here the mg loses it electron and is oxidised and oxygen gains and is reduced.
Mg(2+)and O(2-)
Mg is a reducing agent it makes oxygen to be reduced while itself being oxidised and vice versa.
Answer:
-3.7771 × 10² kJ/mol
Explanation:
Let's consider the following equation.
3 Mg(s) + 2 Al³⁺(aq) ⇌ 3 Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 Al(s)
We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) using the following expression.
ΔG° = ∑np . ΔG°f(p) - ∑nr . ΔG°f(r)
where,
n: moles
ΔG°f(): standard Gibbs free energy of formation
p: products
r: reactants
ΔG° = 3 mol × ΔG°f(Mg²⁺(aq)) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Al(s)) - 3 mol × ΔG°f(Mg(s)) - 2 mol × ΔG°f(Al³⁺(aq))
ΔG° = 3 mol × (-456.35 kJ/mol) + 2 mol × 0 kJ/mol - 3 mol × 0 kJ/mol - 2 mol × (-495.67 kJ/mol)
ΔG° = -377.71 kJ = -3.7771 × 10² kJ
This is the standard Gibbs free energy per mole of reaction.
An element or compound which occurs naturally in the earth is a mineral. Minerals are substances formed naturally in the Earth.They have a definite chemical composition and structure. For example, the minerals gold or diamonds you’d find by mining or panning for gold since they are found naturally in the Earth.
