Answer:

Oxidation occurs when a reactant loses electrons during the reaction. Reduction occurs when a reactant gains electrons during the reaction. This often occurs when metals are reacted with acid.

Answer : Oxidation reaction occurs when a reactant losses electrons in the reaction.

Reduction reaction occurs when a reactant gains electrons in the reaction.

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. That means, the loss of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, oxidation reaction occurs when a reactant losses electrons in the reaction.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. That means, the gain of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, reduction reaction occurs when a reactant gains electrons in the reaction.

The thermochemical equation for the reaction of carbon dioxide with sulfur dioxide is shown below. How can the reaction be descr

prisoha [69]

Answer: d. has high activation energy

Activation energy is the energy that a system requires to start a certain process. Also, it is the minimum energy necessary for a given chemical reaction to occur. For a reaction to occur between two molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation and have a minimum amount of energy equal to the activation energy.

As the molecules approach, their electron clouds repel, so energy is required for the collision to occur and therefore the reaction. The activation energy comes from the heat of the system, that is, the translational, vibrational energy, etc. of each molecule. However, if this energy is not enough, the reaction will not be spontaneous.

A reaction between two molecules can be favored by supplying energy to the system. In the case raised in the question, energy equal to 1104 kJ is provided to the system to favor the next reaction

CO2 (g) + 2SO2 (g) → CS2 (g) + 3O2 (g)

Since the energy equal to 1104 kJ is included in the reactants, it can be deduced that it is the energy that is provided to the system for the reaction to occur. However, from the value of this energy it can not be said whether the system is endothermic or exothermic since it is a kinetic variable and the variables of this type do not allow predicting the thermodynamic behavior of a system.

Furthermore, it can be seen that the value of this energy is considerably high, therefore the reaction described has a high activation energy.

The empirical formula is the simplest formula of a chemical compound.

To find the empirical formula, we take the following steps;

Divide the percentage by mass of each element by its relative atomic mass.
Divide the quotient of each by the lowest value obtained instep 1 above
Write the result of step 2 above as the subscript following each atom.

1) O - 88.10/16, H - 11.190/1

O - 5.5, H - 11.19

O - 5.5/5.5, H - 11.19/5.5

O - 1, H - 2

Empirical formula = OH2

2) C - 41.368/12 H - 8.101/1, N - 32.162/14, O - 18.369/16

C - 3, H - 8, N - 2, O - 1

C - 3/1, H - 8/1 N - 2/1 O - 1/1

C - 3, H - 8, N - 2, O - 1

Empirical formula = C3H8N2O

To obtain the molecular formula where n = number of atoms of each element;

Molecular weight = 174.204 g/mol

[ 3(12) + 8(1) + 2(14) + 16]n = 174

n= 174/88

n = 2 (to the nearest whole number)

Hence, we have;

[C3H8N2O]2

The molecular formula is C6H16N4O2

3) C - 19.999/12, H - 6.713/1, N - 46.646/14, O - 26.641/16

C - 2, H - 7, N - 3, O - 2

C - 2/2, H - 7/2, N - 3/2, O - 2/2

C - 1, H - 4, N - 2, O - 1

Empirical formula - CH4N2O

The Henry's law constant (kH) for O2 in water at 20°C is 1.28 × 10−3 mol/(L·atm). (a) How many grams of O2 will dissolve in 4.00

Burka [1]

Answer:

Solubility of O₂(g) in 4L water = 3.42 x 10⁻² grams O₂(g)

Explanation:

Graham's Law => Solubility(S) ∝ Applied Pressure(P) => S =k·P

Given P = 0.209Atm & k = 1.28 x 10⁻³mol/L·Atm

=> S = k·P = (1.28 x 10⁻³ mole/L·Atm)0.209Atm = 2.68 x 10⁻³ mol O₂/L water.

∴Solubility of O₂(g) in 4L water at 0.209Atm = (2.68 x 10⁻³mole O₂(g)/L)(4L)(32 g O₂(g)/mol O₂(g)) = 3.45 x 10⁻² grams O₂(g) in 4L water.
