Write a balanced half-reaction describing the oxidation of aqueous chloride anions to gaseous dichlorine.

1 answer:

8 0

Oxidation is a process which involves losing electrons in a reaction by an ion, atom or a molecule. It happens when the oxidation state of the ion, atom or the molecule is being increased. Chloride anions has an oxidation state of -1 and dichlorine has an oxidation state of zero or neutral charge. The balanced half-reaction would be written as:

2Cl- = Cl2 + 2e-

To balance the charge on both sides, two electrons should be produced or released by the anion form of chlorine. Being oxidized would mean that the charge of the ion or molecule is being increased. In this case, it is increased from -1 to 0.

OleMash [197]

Answer:

20 g Ag

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Stoichiometry

Using Dimensional Analysis

Chemistry - Atomic Structure

Reading a Periodic Table

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN] Cu (s) + AgNO₃ (aq) → CuNO₃ (aq) + Ag (s)

[Given] 10 g Cu

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 1 mol Cu = 1 mol Ag

Molar Mass of Cu - 63.55 g/mol

Molar Mass of Ag - 197.87 g/mol

Step 3: Stoichiometry

$10 \ g \ Cu(\frac{1 \ mol \ Cu}{63.55 \ g \ Cu})(\frac{1 \ mol \ Ag}{1 \ mol \ Cu} )(\frac{197.87 \ g \ Ag}{1 \ mol \ Ag} )$ = 16.974 g Ag

Step 4: Check

We are given 1 sig fig. Follow sig fig rules and round.

16.974 g Ag ≈ 20 g Ag

How is alkyne converted to acetone?

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Propyne can be converted to the acetone when it is made to undergo the reaction with mercuric sulphate followed by hydrolysis and thus, resultant product, thus formed is acetone.

Answer:

Full answer in explanation

Explanation:

High Tide - when tides are at their highest elevation
Low Tide - when tides are at their lowest elevation
Spring Tide - when tides experience the greatest range between high and low; occur at New and Full Moons
Neap Tide - when tides experience the least range between high and low; occur at 1st and 3rd Quarter Moons
Gravitational Pull - the invisible force that exists between all objects that have mass. The greater the mass, the greater the effect of the force
Tide - the daily change in ocean levels due to the gravitational force of the moon and the sun exerted on Earth
