Under standard-state conditions, which of the following species is the best reducing agent? a. Ag+ b. Pb c. H2 d. Ag e. Mg2+

eimsori [14]

Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which help the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. They undergo oxidation reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

For determination of reducing agents, we will look at the oxidation potentials of the substance. Oxidation potentials can be determined by reversing the standard reduction potentials.

For the given options:

Option a: $Ag^+$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +1 is the most stable oxidation state of silver.

Option b: $Pb$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Pb^{2+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.13 V

$Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{(Pb/Pb^{2+})}=+0.13V$

Option c: $H_2$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $H^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.0 V

$H_2\rightarrow 2H^++2e^-;E^o_{(H_2/H^{+})}=0.0V$

Option d: $Ag$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Ag^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is -0.80 V

$Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-;E^o_{(Ag/Ag^{+})}=-0.80V$

Option e: $Mg^{2+}$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +2 is the most stable oxidation state of magnesium.

By looking at the standard oxidation potential of the substances, the substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get oxidized and will undergo oxidation reaction. Thus, considered as strong reducing agent.

From the above values, the correct answer is Option b.

Neopentyl alcohol, (ch3)3cch2oh, cannot be dehydrated to an alkene without rearrangement. what is the chief product of dehydrati

emmainna [20.7K]

Dehydration is removal of water.

In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.

In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].

The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.

The process or mechanism can be understood as:

so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene

Please help!! Balancing Nuclear Equations

sineoko [7]

The missing part of the equation is found to be 4/2He. Option A

<h3>What are nuclear equations?</h3>

The term nuclear equations have to do with the type of equation in which one type of nucleus is transformed into another sometimes by the bombardment or loss of a particle.

Now the full equation ought to be written as 7/3Li + 1/1H -----> 4/2He + 4/2He. This is because the total mass on the left is 8 and the total charge on the left is 4.

Consider the single‑step, bimolecular reaction. CH3Br+NaOH⟶CH3OH+NaBr When the concentrations of CH3Br and NaOH are both 0.120 M

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

CH₃Br+NaOH⟶CH₃OH+NaBr

It is a single step bimolecular reaction so order of reaction is 2 , one for CH₃Br and one for NaOH .

rate of reaction = k x [CH₃Br] [ NaOH]

.008 = k x .12 x .12

k = .55555

when concentration of CH₃Br is doubled

rate of reaction = .555555 x [.24] [ .12 ]

= .016 M/s

when concentration of NaOH is halved

rate of reaction = .555555 x [.12] [ .06 ]

= .004 M/s

when concentration of both CH₃Br and Na OH is made 5 times

rate of reaction = .555555 x .6 x .6

= 0.2 M/s
