In an endothermic reaction, the heat in going in. it absorbs energy from its surroundings.

hope this helps!

Identify the oxidized substance, the reduced substance, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent in the redox reaction. Cu(s)

spin [16.1K]

Answer: Copper is getting oxidized and is a reducing agent. Silver is getting reduced and is oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the atom increases.

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

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the atom decreases.

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

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

For the given chemical reaction:

$Cu(s)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq.)$

The half reactions for the above reaction are:

Oxidation half reaction: $Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $2Ag^+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(s)$

From the above reactions, copper is loosing its electrons. Thus, it is getting oxidized and is considered as a reducing agent.

Silver is gaining electrons and thus is getting reduced and is considered as an oxidizing agent.

When the temperature of a sample of neon gas increases, what else increases? Distance between the atoms Kinetic energy of the at

Allushta [10]

Answer: Kinetic Energy of the atoms also increases.

Explanation: We are given that the temperature of the gas increases.

Relation between kinetic energy and temperature follows:

$K.E._({avg})=\frac{3RT}{2N_A}$

where, K = Average Kinetic energy

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number

As seen from the relation above, the Kinetic energy of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature, hence as the temperature increases, kinetic energy of the atom also increases.

If have a volume of 18 L of a gas at a temperature of 272 K and a pressure of 90 atm, what will be the pressure of the gas if ra

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

P₂ ≅ 100 atm (1 sig. fig. based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm)

Explanation:

Given:

P₁ = 90 atm P₂ = ?

V₁ = 18 Liters(L) L₂ = 12 Liters(L)

=> decrease volume => increase pressure

=> volume ratio that will increase 90 atm is (18L/12L)

T₁ = 272 Kelvin(K) T₂ = 274 Kelvin(K)

=> increase temperature => increase pressure

=> temperature ratio that will increase 90 atm is (274K/272K)

n₁ = moles = constant n₂ = n₁ = constant

P₂ = 90 atm x (18L/12L) x (274K/272K) = 135.9926471 atm (calculator)

By rule of sig. figs., the final answer should be rounded to an accuracy equal to the 'measured' data value having the least number of sig. figs. This means P₂ ≅ 100 atm based on the given value of P₁ = 90 atm.
