Give the half equation to show what happens to oxygen when it is rusting
ycow [4]

Answer:

½O 2 + 2e - + H 2O → 2OH.

Explanation:

Redox reactions - Higher

In terms of electrons:

oxidation is loss of electrons

reduction is gain of electrons

Rusting is a complex process. The example below show why both water and oxygen are needed for rusting to occur. They are interesting examples of oxidation, reduction and the use of half equations:

iron loses electrons and is oxidised to iron(II) ions: Fe → Fe2+ + 2e-

oxygen gains electrons in the presence of water and is reduced: ½O2 + 2e- + H2O → 2OH-

iron(II) ions lose electrons and are oxidised to iron(III) ions by oxygen: 2Fe2+ + ½O2 → 2Fe3+ + O2-

What is the value of delta Hrxn for this equation:
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The ΔHrxn for the above equation = 179 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The reaction bond enthalpies are for the reactant;

3 × N-H = 3 × 390 = 1,170 kJ/mol

2 × O=O = 2 × 502 = 1004 kJ/mol

The reaction bond enthalpies are for the product;

3 × N-O = 3 × 201 = 603 kJ/mol

3 × O-H = 3 × 464 = 1,392 kJ/mol

The ΔHrxn for the above equation is therefore;

ΔHrxn = 1,170 + 1,004 - (603 + 1,392) = 179 kJ/mol

If a chemical reaction occurs in a direction that has a positive change in entropy thenGroup of answer choicesthe change in enth
mezya [45]

Answer:

The reaction must be spontaneous, the disorder of the system increases.

Explanation:

By the Second Law of Thermodynamics, a positive change in entropy is due to a net input heat, and entropy is a measure of the grade of disorder within the system. The net input heat means that resultant goes to the system from the surroundings.

By the First Law of Thermodynamics, a net input heat is due to a positive change in enthalpy.

The reaction is endothermic and spontaneous (since change in entropy is positive).
