Answer:

1. The balanced equation is given below:

Sn (s) + 2HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

2a. H is oxidized.

2b. Sn is reduced.

Explanation:

1. Balanced equation for the reaction between tin (Sn) metal and aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce tin(II) chloride (SnCl₂) and hydrogen gas (H₂).

This is illustrated below:

Sn (s) + HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

There are 2 atoms of Cl on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HCl as shown below:

Sn (s) + 2HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

Now, the equation is balanced

2. Determination of the element that is oxidize and reduced.

This can be obtained as follow:

We shall determine the change in oxidation number of each element.

NOTE:

a. The oxidation number of H is always +1 except in hydrides where it is –1.

b. The oxidation state of Cl is always –1.

Sn (s) + 2HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

For Tin (Sn):

Sn = 0

SnCl₂ = 0

Sn + 2Cl = 0

Cl = – 1

Sn + 2(–1) = 0

Sn – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

Sn = 0 + 2

Sn = +2

Therefore, the oxidation number of Tin (Sn) changes from 0 to +2

For H:

H = +1

H₂ = 0

The oxidation number of H changes from +1 to 0

For Cl:

Cl is always –1. Therefore no change.

Summary:

Element >>Change in oxidation number

Sn >>>>>>>From 0 to +2

H >>>>>>>>From +1 to 0

Cl >>>>>>>No change

Therefore,

Sn is reduced since its oxidation number increased from 0 to +2.

H is oxidized since it oxidation number reduced from +1 to 0

The value of ka for nitrous acid (hno2) at 25 ∘c is 4.5×10−4. what is the value of δg at 25 ∘c when [h+] = 5.9×10−2m , [no2-] =
LuckyWell [14K]
To get the value of ΔG we need to get first the value of ΔG°:

when ΔG° = - R*T*㏑K

when R is constant in KJ = 0.00831 KJ

T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25+273 = 298 K

and K is the equilibrium constant = 4.5 x 10^-4

so by substitution:

∴ ΔG° = - 0.00831 * 298 K * ㏑4.5 x 10^-4

        = -19 KJ

then, we can now get the value of ΔG when:

ΔG = ΔG° - RT*㏑[HNO2]/[H+][NO2]

when ΔG° = -19 KJ

and R is constant in KJ = 0.00831 

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 298 K

and [HNO2] = 0.21 m & [H+] = 5.9 x 10^-2 & [NO2-] = 6.3 x 10^-4 m  

so, by substitution:

ΔG = -19 KJ - 0.00831 * 298K* ㏑(0.21/5.9x10^-2*6.3 x10^-4 )

       = -40

How many moles of ions are produced by the dissociation of 1 mol of al2(co3)3?
zloy xaker [14]
Aluminium Carbonate on Dissociation produces Aluminium Ions and carbonate Ions as follow,

                            Al₂(CO₃)₃      →     2 Al⁺³  +  3 CO₃⁻²

Result:
          On dissociation Al₂(CO₃)₃ produces FIVE Ions in total. The Ions produced and there number are as follow;

                                              Al⁺²  =  2

                                            CO₃⁻²  =  3

What are the three challenges of a cell?
Zolol [24]
<span>The cell must exchange materials with the environment across the surface membrane. An increase in size will result in a relatively greater increase in volume and mass than in surface area, so that the cell will lose effective exchange capacity.

12. Why does a water molecule have a bent shape?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom, and its overall structure is bent. This is because the oxygen atom, in addition to forming bonds with the hydrogen atoms, also carries two pairs of unshared electrons. All of the electron pairs—shared and unshared—repel each other.
