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 

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

How many moles of sodium hydroxide would react with 1 Mole of sulphuric acid?
Paul [167]

Answer:

Two moles.

Explanation:

Sulphuric (sulfuric) acid \rm H_2SO_4 is a diprotic acid. When one mole of \rm H_2SO_4 molecules dissolve in water, two moles of \rm H^{+} ions would be produced.

\rm H_2SO_4 \to 2\, H^{+} + {SO_4}^{2-}.

On the other hand, sodium hydroxide \rm NaOH is a monoprotic base. When one mole of \rm NaOH formula units dissolve in water, only one mole of hydroxide ions \rm OH^{-} would be produced.

\rm NaOH \to Na^{+} + OH^{-}.

Note that \rm H^{+} and \rm OH^{-} react at a one-to-one ratio:

\rm H^{+} + OH^{-} \to H_2O.

As a result, it would take 2\; \rm mol of \rm OH^{-} to react with the \rm 2\; mol of \rm H^{+} that was released when 1\; \rm mol of \rm H_2SO_4 is dissolved in water. Since one mole of \rm NaOH formula units could produce only one mole of \rm OH^{-}, it would take \rm 2\; mol of \rm NaOH formula units to produce that 2\; \rm mol of \rm OH^{-} for reacting with 1\; \rm mol of \rm H_2SO_4.
