Answer:
_5_ AsO2−(aq) + 3 Mn2+(aq) + _2_ H2O(l) → _5_ As(s) + _3_ MnO4−(aq) + _4_ H+(aq)
Explanation:
Step 1:
The unbalanced equation:
AsO2−(aq) + 3 Mn2+(aq) + H2O(l) → As(s) + MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)
Step 2:
Balancing the equation.
AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + H2O(l) → As(s) + MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)
The above equation can be balanced as follow:
There are 3 atoms of Mn on the left side of the equation and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of MnO4− as shown below:
AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + H2O(l) → As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)
There are 12 atoms of O on the right side and a total of 3 atoms on the left side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of AsO2− and 2 in front of H2O as shown below:
5AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) → As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + H+(aq)
There are 4 atoms of H on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of H+ as shown below:
5AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) → As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + 4H+(aq)
There are 5 atoms of As on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of As as shown below:
5AsO2−(aq) + 3Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) → 5As(s) + 3MnO4−(aq) + 4H+(aq)
Now the equation is balanced
Answer:
The reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: </u>Data given
H2(g) + I2(g) ⇌ 2HI(g) ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol
Temperature = 25°C = 25+273 = 298 Kelvin
The initial pressures are:
pH2 = 3.10 atm
pI2 = 1.5 atm
pHI 1.75 atm
<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate ΔG
ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q
with ΔG° = 2.60 kJ/mol
with R = 8.3145 J/K*mol
with T = 298 Kelvin
Q = the reaction quotient → has the same expression as equilibrium constant → in this case Kp = [p(HI)]²/ [p(H2)] [p(I2)]
with pH2 = 3.10 atm
pI2 = 1.5 atm
pHI 1.75 atm
Q = (3.10²)/(1.5*1.75)
Q = 3.661
ΔG = ΔG° + RTln Q
ΔG = 2600 J/mol + 8.3145 J/K*mol * 298 K * ln(3.661)
ΔG =5815.43 J/mol = 5.815 kJ/mol
To be spontaneous, ΔG should be <0.
ΔG >>0 so the reaction is not spontaneous in the forward direction, but in the reverse direction.
Answer:
Elements that belong to the <em>same </em><em>GROUP</em><em> </em>of the periodic table have the most similar chemical properties.
Explanation:
A GROUP in the periodic table is a column of elements with the same number of valence electrons. Since electrons are exchanged/shared during a chemical reaction, then elements with similar valence electrons, will react similarly. Thus elements belonging to the <em>same GROUP</em> are most similar in the way they react.
For example: Sodium and Lithium are group 1 elements while fluorine and chlorine are group 17 elements. In a reaction under normal conditions, Sodium and Lithium will both try to give up their single valence electron to form cations. In doing so they will react more similarly. On the other hand, Fluorine and Chlorine who are more inclined to accept a single electron to form cations react less like the group 1 elements and more like each other.
