Separate this redox reaction into its balanced component half-reactions. What is the oxidation and reduction half reactions

Chemistry

Vilka [71]3 years ago

Answer:

The reduction reaction is: Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ ⇄ 2 Cl⁻

The oxidation reaction is: Cs ⇄ Cs⁺ + 1 e⁻

Explanation:

In a redox reaction, two half-reactions happen simultaneously. The oxidation refers to a species losing electrons. The reduction refers to a species gaining electrons.

Let's consider the following reaction.

Cl₂ + 2 Cs ⇄ 2CsCl

We can write the ionic equation.

Cl₂ + 2 Cs ⇄ 2 Cs⁺ + 2 Cl⁻

The reduction reaction is: Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ ⇄ 2 Cl⁻

We added 2 electrons to the left (electrons gained) to balance the half-reaction electrically.

The oxidation reaction is: Cs ⇄ Cs⁺ + 1 e⁻

We added 1 electron to the right (electrons lost) to balance the half-reaction electrically.

<span>Separate this redox reaction into its component half-reactions. 
Cl2 + 2Na ----> 2NaCl 

reduction: Cl2 + 2 e- ----> 2Cl-1 
oxidation: 2Na ----> 2Na+ & 2 e- 


2) Write a balanced overall reaction from these unbalanced half-reactions: 

oxidation: Sn ----> Sn^2+ & 2 e- 
reduction: 2Ag^+ & 2e- ----> 2Ag

Why do you think the molarity relationship is so important to the chemist?
Oksana_A [137]

There are two big advantages of using molarity to express concentration. The first advantage is that it's easy and convenient to use because the solute may be measured in grams, converted into moles, and mixed with a volume.


The second advantage is that the sum of the molar concentrations is the total molar concentration. This permits calculations of density and ionic strength

What does an emission spectrum show?
IrinaVladis [17]

It shows the type of atoms/elements in a substance

Different types of atoms have different emission spectrum - a concept supported by Bohr quantum theory - hence one is able to identify elements in a substance using a method called spectroscopy.

Explanation:

When an electron jumps from a low energy orbital to a higher energy orbital in an atom, it absorbs a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation (This is called absorption spectrum). Vice versa, if the same electron jumps from a higher to a lower energy orbital it releases the equivalent quantum energy in electromagnetic wave (This is called emission spectrum). Different types of atoms of different elements have a unique spectrum identifier.

Calculate the freezing point of the solution containing 0.105 m k2s. calculate the boiling point of the solution above. -g
Licemer1 [7]
Quantity of K2S m = 0.105 m 
Number of ions i = 2(K) + 1(S) = 3
 Freezing point depression constant of water Kf = 1.86 
delta T = i x m x Kf = 3 x 0.105 x 1.86 = 0.586
 Freezing point = 0 - 0.586 = 0.586 C
 Boiling point constant of water Kb = 0.512
 delta T = i x m x Kb = 3 x 0.105 x 0.512 = 0.161
 Boiling point = 100 + 0.161 = 100.161 C

How can bonding determine the properties of a substance?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Chemical bonds are the electrical forces of attraction that hold atoms or ions together to form molecules. Different types of chemical bonds and their varying intensity are directly responsible for some of the physical properties of minerals such as hardness, melting and boiling points, solubility, and conductivity.
