Which chemical is the reducing agent in the redox reaction below?

Chemistry

posledela3 years ago
6 0
Option (a) is correct.

A reducing agent is the one which loses electrons to other substance.

Here, Zn has oxidation number 0 in the L.H.S of the equation, but on R.H.S its oxidation number is +2 i.e. it Zn has donated two of its electrons to Fe^{2+}.

Hence, Zn is the reducing agent here.

The activation energy for the isomerization ol cyclopropane to propene is 274 kJ/mol. By what factor does the rate of this react
Bond [772]

Answer:

The rate of the reaction increased by a factor of 1012.32

Explanation:

Applying Arrhenius equation

ln(k₂/k₁) = Ea/R(1/T₁ - 1/T₂)

where;

k₂/k₁ is the ratio of the rates which is the factor

Ea is the activation energy = 274 kJ/mol.

T₁ is the initial temperature = 231⁰C = 504 k

T₂ is the final temperature = 293⁰C = 566 k

R is gas constant = 8.314 J/Kmol

Substituting this values into the equation above;

ln(k₂/k₁) = 274000/8.314(1/504 - 1/566)

ln(k₂/k₁) = 32956.4589 (0.00198-0.00177)

ln(k₂/k₁)  = 6.92

k₂/k₁ = exp(6.92)

k₂/k₁ = 1012.32

The rate of the reaction increased by 1012.32

Determine the heat given off to the surroundings when 9.0 g of aluminum (fm = 26.98) reacts according to the equation 2al + fe2o
Akimi4 [234]

Hey there!:

Number of moles:

Molar Mass Al = 26.98 g/mol

n = mass / molar mass

n = 9.0 / 26.98

n = 0.3336 moles of Al

Given the reaction :

2 Al + Fe2O3 = Al2O3 + 2 Fe

From the equation, 2 moles of Al give off 849 kJ of heat :

Actual heat given off :

0.3336 / 2 * 849 =

0.3336 / 1698 = 1.4*10² Kj


Hope that helps!
