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 

giving us 
2Ag^+ & Sn ----> Sn^2+ & 2Ag </span>Steve O <span>· 5 years ago </span><span>

Which state of matter has atomic spacing that is close together and definite shape? gas liquid solid plasma none of the above
den301095 [7]

Answer: solid

Explanation:In a solid, the atoms are closely packed and hence are close together. This results in a definite pattern of packing and a definite shape. Solids have a defined shape and volume as a result of this orderly arrangement of atoms very close to each other in the solid material.

Which one of the following metals would NOT displace hydrogen from a dilute solution of HCl? 1. Ag 2. Fe 3. Al 4. Ni
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Ag

Explanation:

To determine which element will displace hydrogen from a dilute acid, we need to make reference to the activity series or the electrochemical series. The activity series is a list of metallic ions according to their electropositivity.

This means elements are ranked here based on how electrically positive they are. Hence, an element above another element is relatively more electropositive than the one under it. For example calcium is less electropositive compared to sodium as calcium is found under sodium in the list.

Now, for an element to displace hydrogen, it means the particular element is more electropositive than hydrogen on the activity series. All the elements in the options are in a greater position relative to hydrogen on the activity series except silver. This means it cannot displace hydrogen from a dilute mineral acid
