Zinc wire is added to an iron(II) nitrate solution.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Zn(s) + Fe(NO₃)₂(aq) ⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + Fe(s)

Explanation:

When metal zinc is added to an iron (II) nitrate solution, we can see the following redox reaction:

Zn(s) + Fe(NO₃)₂(aq) ⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + Fe(s)

Zinc is oxidized since its oxidation number increases from 0 to +2.

Iron is reduced since its oxidation number decreases from +2 to 0.

Using the following standard reduction potentials, Fe3+(aq) + e- → Fe2+(aq) E° = +0.77 V Ni2+(aq) + 2 e- → Ni(s) E° = -0.23 V ca

lina2011 [118]

Answer: The above reaction is non-spontaneous.

Explanation:

For the given chemical reaction:

$Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2Fe^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Fe^{3+}(aq.)+Ni(s)$

Here, nickel is getting reduced because it is gaining electrons and iron is getting oxidized because it is loosing electrons.

We know that:

$E^o_{(Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+})}=0.77V\\E^o_{(Ni^{2+}/Ni)}=-0.23V$

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

$E^o_{cell}=-0.23-0.77=-1.0V$

Relationship between standard Gibbs free energy and standard electrode potential follows:

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}$

As, the standard electrode potential of the cell is coming out to be negative for the above cell. Thus, the standard Gibbs free energy change of the reaction will become positive making the reaction non-spontaneous.

Hence, the above reaction is non-spontaneous.

For the reaction, X + Y → A + B, ΔGo is –1324 kJ. Which one of the following statements is NOT valid concerning the reaction?

natima [27]

Answer:

c. The reaction will proceed rapidly from left to right.

Explanation:

The variation of the free Gibbs energy doesn't tell anything about the speed of reaction.

On the other hand, when ΔGo is negative: the reaction is spontaneous, thermodynamically favourable, and the products are more stable than the reactants

What is the most important role that water plays for living organisms

LuckyWell [14K]

-well, we all need water as living organisms in order to live. water helps us clean our body (just like you clean yourself in a shower to clean your skin),but drinking water helps you to take a shower inside your body! (sounds weird but true XD) you get the point... here are a few things water does to our body:

- water helps helps our skin to look beautiful (you can say youthful skin) and even beauty itself.

- it trashes body waste and toxins (like i said above)

- it gives us nutrients and minerals

- it helps us to maintain out blood pressure

- it also helps to regulate our body temperature

- it transfers oxygen through the whole body

- it helps with digestion

- weigh loss

- gives you energy ( thats why when your exercising you need to drink water every 15 min XD)

-prevents from you have a stinky breath *-*

- it helps with back-pain, headaches, heart health...etc

- it helps boost your immune system

- increases your brain power

so those are what i got for you about why water is important to us :D
