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.
There are seven significant figures
