Answer : Yes, the given chemical reaction is balanced equation.

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The given chemical reaction is,

$2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2$

In this reaction, there are 2 atoms of sodium, 4 atoms of hydrogen and 2 atoms of oxygen are present on both side of the reaction. So,

This chemical reaction is a balanced reaction because in this reaction, the number of atoms of sodium, hydrogen and oxygen are balanced on the side of the reaction.

Hence, yes the given chemical reaction is balanced equation.

What is the difference between diffusion and osmoses<br><br>

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Diffusion means that particles travel from a higher concentration to a lower concentration region before balance is achieved. The semi-permeable membrane is present in osmosis, so that only solvent molecules can travel freely to equalize the levels.

When electrolyzing copper (ll) chloride, what reaction takes place at the anode? What reaction takes place at the cathode?

klemol [59]

Answer:

Copper ions are reduced into copper atoms.

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ → Cu₍s₎

Explanation:

During electrolysis, the positive H⁺ and Cu⁺ ions move to the negative cathode and negative OH⁻ and Cl⁻ ions move to the positive anode.

At cathode, copper ions are preferentially discharged due to the low electromotive force required to discharge them compared to the hydrogen ion. The copper ions gain the two electrons lost by the chloride ions when the are discharged. (2 Cl⁻₍aq₎ → Cl₂₍g₎ + 2e⁻)

Thus the half equation is as follows:

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ → Cu₍s₎
