Given the redox reaction: Ni + Sn4+ → Ni2+ + Sn2+ Which species has been oxidized?

1 answer:

4 0

Remember this---> LEO= lose electons oxidation... and GER----> gain electrons reduction

so if you look for the one being oxidized, it is the one losing electrons. since electrons are negative, when an atom lose them, it becomes less negative, so more positive.

you can identify the oxidization when the atom becomes more positive.

so in the given reaction: <span>Ni + Sn4+ → Ni2+ + Sn2+
</span>
Ni becomes Ni +2 and Sn+4 becomes Sn+2

as you can see the Ni become Ni+2 so more positive

Ni is being oxidized

The enthalpy of combustion for octane (C8H18(l)), a key component of gasoline, is -5,074 kJ/mol. This value is the Delta. Hrxn f

Inessa [10]

Combustion can be defined as the reaction of a compound with oxygen. The enthalpy of combustion of octane is $\Delta H_{\rm rxn}$ for $\rm C_8H_{18}\;+\;25\;O_2\;\rightarrow 8\;CO_2\;+\;9\;H_2O$ .

<h3>What is the enthalpy of reaction?</h3>

The enthalpy of reaction is the amount of heat energy absorbed or lost by the molecules in the chemical reaction.

The enthalpy of combustion is the amount of heat energy released by the compound in the reaction with oxygen.

The reaction in which heat is liberated with the reaction of a compound with oxygen has an enthalpy of combustion, equivalent to the enthalpy of reaction.

The combustion of octane can be given as:

$\rm C_8H_{18}\;+\;25\;O_2\;\rightarrow 8\;CO_2\;+\;9\;H_2O$

Thus, the reaction has combustion energy equivalent to the enthalpy of the reaction is $\rm C_8H_{18}\;+\;25\;O_2\;\rightarrow 8\;CO_2\;+\;9\;H_2O$ . Thus, option B is correct.
