2FeCl3 ---> 2FeCl2 + Cl2

2 answers:

8 0

The correct options are as follows:
1. In the chemical equation given above, Fe3+ IS REDUCED.
A reduction is a process in which an atom of an element gains an electron and therefore become reduced. In this type of reaction, the positive character of the atom is reduced. Looking at the equation given above, you will notice that, the positive character of Iron is reduced form +3 to +2.

2. In the reaction given above, the chlorine atom is OXIDIZED.
An oxidation is a process in which an atom loses an electron, thereby increasing its oxidation number. In this case, the positive character of the atom is increased. Looking at the chlorine atom given above, you will notice that it has a charge of -1 before and now it has change to neutral, which means that, it has given out the electron it gains earlier.

3. This type of redox reaction can not take place. This is because, in chemical reaction, the chlorine atom is always looking for another element that will donate an electron to it in order to become stable. Thus, chlorine atom easily gain electrons but it can not donate an electron to another element.

Write the balanced molecular and net ionic equations for the reaction between aluminum metal and silver nitrate. identify the ox

asambeis [7]

Well in this case, silver nitrate is reduced:

Ag+ + e− → Ag(s) ↓

Meanwhile, the aluminum is oxidized forming a positive ion:

Al(s) → Al3+ + 3e−

To get the overall reaction, we add the half equations so that the electrons are eliminated:

Al(s) + 3Ag+ → Al3+ + 3Ag(s)

And similarly:

Al(s) + 3AgNO3(aq) → Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3Ag(s)

Matthew was working with different concentrations of hydrochloric acid in the lab. Which of these would BEST describe the result

CaHeK987 [17]

The question says,'Mathew was working with different concentrations of hydrochloric acid in the lab. Which of these would best describe the resulsts Mathew would see if he was using a conductivity apparatus in each of the different acid concentration. The correct answer is C. This is because, acids conduct electricity, the stronger the acid, the brighter the electricity that will be produced while the weaker the acid, the weaker the electricity that will be produced. Thus, higher concentration equals tronger electricity.

Phosphate buffers are commonly used in biological research. If a small amount of strong acid is added to a buffer solution that

Answer:

A) [H3PO4] will increase, [KH2PO4] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution which resists changes to its pH when a small amount of acid or base is added to it.

Buffers consist of a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A–) or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Weak acids and bases do not completely dissociate in water, and instead exist in solution as an equilibrium of dissociated and undissociated species. When a small quantity of a strong acid is added to a buffer solution, the conjugate base, A-, reacts with the hydrogen ions from the added acid to form the weak acid and a salt thereby removing the extra hydrogen ions from the solution and keeping the pH of the solution fairly constant. On the other hand, if a small quantity of a strong base is added to the buffer solution, the weak acid dissociates further to release hydrogen ions which then react with the hydroxide ions of the added base to form water and the conjugate base.

For example, if a small amount of strong acid is added to a buffer solution that is 0.700 M H3PO4 and 0.700 M KH2PO4, the following reaction is obtained:

KH₂PO₄ + H+ ----> K+ + H₃PO₄

Therefore, [H₃PO₄] will increase, [KH₂PO₄] will decrease, and pH will slightly decrease.:
