Under standard-state conditions, which of the following species is the best reducing agent? a. Ag+ b. Pb c. H2 d. Ag e. Mg2+

Chemistry

eimsori [14]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option b.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which help the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. They undergo oxidation reaction.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

For determination of reducing agents, we will look at the oxidation potentials of the substance. Oxidation potentials can be determined by reversing the standard reduction potentials.

For the given options:

  • <u>Option a:</u>  Ag^+

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +1 is the most stable oxidation state of silver.

  • <u>Option b:</u>  Pb

This metal can easily get oxidized to Pb^{2+} ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.13 V

Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{(Pb/Pb^{2+})}=+0.13V

  • <u>Option c:</u>  H_2

This metal can easily get oxidized to H^{+} ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.0 V

H_2\rightarrow 2H^++2e^-;E^o_{(H_2/H^{+})}=0.0V

  • <u>Option d:</u>  Ag

This metal can easily get oxidized to Ag^{+} ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is -0.80 V

Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-;E^o_{(Ag/Ag^{+})}=-0.80V

  • <u>Option e:</u>  Mg^{2+}

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +2 is the most stable oxidation state of magnesium.

By looking at the standard oxidation potential of the substances, the substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get oxidized and will undergo oxidation reaction. Thus, considered as strong reducing agent.

From the above values, the correct answer is Option b.

Hafnium has six naturally occurring isotopes: 0.16% of 174Hf, with an atomic weight of 173.940 amu; 5.26% of 176Hf, with an atom
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

177.277amu

Explanation:

the total occuring isotopes for Hafnium is =6.

First isotope had an atomic weight of 173.940amu

Second isotope =175.941amu

Third isotope =176.943amu

Fourth isotope=177.944amu

Fifth isotope. =178.946amu

sixth isotope .179.947amu

<em>Avera</em><em>ge</em><em> </em><em>ato</em><em>mic</em><em> </em><em>wei</em><em>ght</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>Haf</em><em>nium</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>sum</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>all</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>atomi</em><em>c</em><em> </em><em>weights</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>iso</em><em>topes</em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>Tota</em><em>l</em><em> </em><em>occu</em><em>ring</em><em> </em><em>isotopes</em>

Thus, 173.940amu+175.941amu+176.943amu+177.944amu+178.946amu+179.947amu.= 1063.661amu

Average atomic weight= 1063.661amu /6 = 177.2768333amu

= 177.277amu to 3 decimal places.

Si uno pone un hilo en un hielo y un poco de sal el hilo se levanta el hilo con el hielo. Por que sé relaciona con calor y tempe
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

El hielo encierra la primavera antes de espolvorear la sal.

Cuando se rocía sal sobre el hielo, disminuye el punto de fusión del hielo 32 ° F a un poco por debajo de 32 °, por lo tanto, se acumula.

A medida que el hielo se vuelve a congelar, encierra la primavera

Four moles of Argon gas are at a pressure of 1.90 atm, and the temperature is 50 degrees C. What is the volume of the gas?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
N = 4 moles of Ar2, P = 1.90 atm, V = ?
T = 50C = 273 + 50K = 323K
PV = nRT --> V = nRT/P
V = (4)(.0821)(323)/1.90
V = 106.07/ 1.9
V = 55.8 L

Determine the mass fraction of iron in its compounds:
Shkiper50 [21]

Explanation:

We have a molecule composed of 3" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; one; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;">33 iron atoms, and 4" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: p; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;">44 atoms of another element. We are given the following information: it has 2.36&#xA0;g" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;">2.36 g2.36 g of iron for 3.26&#xA0;g" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: -wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;">3.26 g3.26 g of molecule.

I want to find the molar mass of the compound, I have tried so far:

m=3.26&#xA0;g=0.00326&#xA0;kg" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: normal; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; display: inline; text-indent: 0px; text-align: center; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;">m=3.26 g=0.00326 kgm=3.26 g=0.00326 kg

Since it has 3" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; nt-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: normal; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; display: inline; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;">FeFe and 4" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: normal; ; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;">44 atoms of an unknown substance, therefore:

3+4=7&#xA0;atoms,1&#xA0;mol=6.022&#x22C5;1023&#xA0;atoms76.022&#x22C5;1023=1.16&#x22C5;10&#x2212;23" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: normal; font-variant: : ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; width: 10000em !important; ; font-family: inherit; eight: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;">0.003260.00326 by 1.16&#x22C5;10&#x2212;23" role="presentation"; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;">1.16⋅10−231.16⋅10−23 and I obtained 2.79429&#x22C5;1019" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; f inherit; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; display: inline; text-indent: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;">2.79429⋅10
