Explain how a redox reaction involves electrons in the same way that acid-base reaction involve protons

Chemistry

Redox reaction stands for reduction/oxidation reaction whereas acid-base reaction involves acid and base in its reaction. 
Acid-base reaction involves the transfer of protons whereas redox reaction involves the transfer of electrons. Thus in both the case, a charged species is transferred from one molecule to another. 
In case of redox reaction, oxidation involves loss of electrons and reduction involves gain of electrons. Thus, one substance gets oxidized (acts as reducing agent and donates electrons) while other gets reduced (acts as oxidizing agent and gains electrons).
Similarly, in acid-base reaction one substance accepts proton while other releases proton. Thus, one substance is called conjugate acid (the base that accepts protons) and other is called conjugate base (acid that donates protons). 
Thus reducer and oxidizer are analogous terms for acid and base respectively.

What is the temperature change if 400 J of energy is added to 10 grams of water
Gemiola [76]

The temperature change if 400 J of energy is added to 10 grams of water is 9.57°C.

<h3>How to calculate temperature change?</h3>

The temperature change of a calorimeter can be calculated using the following expression:

E = mc∆T

Where;

  • E = energy in joules
  • m = mass
  • c = specific heat capacity = 4.18J/g°C
  • ∆T = change in temperature

400 = 10 × 4.18 × ∆T

400 = 41.8∆T

∆T = 400/41.8

∆T = 9.57°C

Therefore, the temperature change if 400 J of energy is added to 10 grams of water is 9.57°C.

Diamonds are measured in carats, and 1 carat=0.200 g. The density of diamond is 3.51 g/cm^3. What is the volume of a 5.0 - carat
Blizzard [7]

Answer:- Volume of the 5.0 carat diamond is 0.28cm^3 .

Solution:- It is a unit conversion problem. Need to convert carat to grams and then using grams and density the volume could easily be calculated.

We have 5.0 carat diamond and asked to calculate it's volume. Density of diamond is given as 3.51\frac{g}{cm^3} and 1 carat = 0.200 g. Let's do this step by step:

First step is the conversion of carat to grams:

5.0carat(\frac{0.200g}{1carat}) = 1.0 g

In second step, grams are converted to volume using the given density as:

volume=\frac{mass}{density}

volume=1.0g(\frac{1cm^3}{3.51g})

volume=0.28cm^3

So, the volume of the 5.0 carat diamond is 0.28cm^3 .
