Answer : The option (C) is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Explanation :

A : $XeF_6(s)\righatrrow XeF_4(s)+F_2(g)$

This is an oxidation-reduction reaction. In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'Xe' changes from (+6) to (+4) and the oxidation state of 'F ' changes from (-1) to (0). That means 'Xe' shows reduction and 'F' shows oxidation in the reaction.

B : $2Cs(s)+I_2(g)\righatrrow 2Csl(s)$

This is an oxidation-reduction reaction. In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'Cs' changes from (0) to (+1) and the oxidation state of 'I' changes from (0) to (-1). That means 'I' shows reduction and 'Cs' shows oxidation in the reaction.

D : $Zn(s)+2AgNo_3(aq)\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2(aq)+Ag(s)$

This is an oxidation-reduction reaction. In this reaction, the oxidation state of 'Zn' changes from (0) to (+2) and the oxidation state of 'Ag' changes from (+1) to (0). That means 'Ag' shows reduction and 'Zn' shows oxidation in the reaction.

C : $2H_2SO_4(aq)+2Ba(OH)_2(aq)\rightarrow 2BaSO_4(s)+4H_2O(I)$

This is not an oxidation-reduction reaction. In this reaction, the oxidation states are not changes.

Hence, the option (C) is not an oxidation-reduction reaction.

An oxidation-reduction reaction happens when hydrogen, oxygen or halogen atoms are transferred, so in this case, your answer would be B.

What causes ionic bonding between two atoms?

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Ionic bonding happens when an atom of an element gives one or more of its electrons to the other element's atom..it usually takes place between metal and non metal atoms...like in NaCl, Na gives its valence electron to chlorine and completes its own octet. Chlorine accepts the electron and completes its own octet too...but now both the atoms have an opposing charge and hence they attract each other to form an IONIC bond.

Ionic bonds are the strongest of the bonds...here complete transfer of electrons takes place unlike covalent bonds.

A patient arrives in the emergency with a burn caused by steam. Calculate the heat that released when 17.7 g of steam

MaRussiya [10]

The steam releases 39.9 kJ when it condenses..

The steam condenses and transfers its energy to the skin.

<em>q = m</em>Δ<em>H</em>_cond = 17.7 g × (-2257 J/1 g) = -39 900 kJ = -39.9 kJ

The negative sign shows that the steam is releasing energy

In atmospheric chemistry, the following chemical reaction converts SO2, the predominant oxide of sulfur that comes from combusti

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information;

The chemical reaction can be well presented as follows:

$\mathtt{SO_{2(g)} + \dfrac{1}{2}O_{2(g)} }$ ⇄ $\mathtt{3SO_{2(l)}}$

Now, K is known to be the equilibrium constant and it can be represented in terms of each constituent activity:

i.e

$K = \dfrac{a_{so_3}}{a_{so_2} a_{o_2}^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

However, since we are dealing with liquids solutions;

$K = \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{Pso_2}{P^0}\Big ( \dfrac{Po_2}{P^0} \Big)^{1/2}}$ since the activity of $a_{so_3}$ is equivalent to 1

Hence, under standard conditions(i.e at a pressure of 1 bar)

$K = \dfrac{1}{Pso_2Po_2^{1/2}}$

(b)

From the CRC Handbook, we are meant to determine the value of the Gibb free energy by applying the formula:

$\Delta _{rxn} G^o = \sum \Delta_f \ G^o (products) - \sum \Delta_fG^o (reactants) \\ \\ = (1) (-368 \ kJ/mol) - (\dfrac{1}{2}) (0) - ((1) (-300.13 \ kJ/mol)) \\ \\ = -368 \ kJ/mol + 300.13 \ kJ/mol \\ \\ \simeq -68 \ kJ/mol$

Thus, for this reaction; the Gibbs frree energy = -68 kJ/mol

(c)

Le's recall that:

At equilibrium, the instantaneous free energy is usually zero &

Q(reaction quotient) is equivalent to K(equilibrium constant)

So;

$\mathtt{\Delta _{rxn} G = \Delta _{rxn} G^o + RT In Q}$

$\mathtt{0- \Delta _{rxn} G^o = RTIn K } \\ \\ \mathtt{ \Delta _{rxn} G^o = -RTIn K } \\ \\ K = e^{\dfrac{\Delta_{rxn} G^o}{RT}} \\ \\ K = e^{^{\dfrac{67900 \ J/mol}{8.314 \ J/mol \times 298 \ K}} }$

$K =7.98390356\times 10^{11} \\ \\ \mathbf{K = 7.98 \times 10^{11}}$

(d)

The direction by which the reaction will proceed can be determined if we can know the value of Q(reaction quotient).

This is because;

If Q < K, then the reaction will proceed in the right direction towards the products.

However, if Q > K , then the reaction goes to the left direction. i.e to the reactants.

So;

$Q= \dfrac{1}{Pso_2Po_2^{1/2}}$

Since we are dealing with liquids;

$Q= \dfrac{1}{1 \times 1^{1/2}}$

Q = 1

Since Q < K; Then, the reaction proceeds in the right direction.

Hence, SO2 as well O2 will combine to yield SO3, then condensation will take place to form liquid.

Are s blocks metals ?

Mamont248 [21]

Yes, S-blocks are metals except for helium and hydrogen. The S-block metals are shiny, silvery and relatively soft, although they can easily lose electrons. Helium and hydrogen have valence electrons but also lack some similar properties as the other metals.
