In the reaction between bromine and sodium, a bromine atom gains an electron. What ion is formed? Is the bromine oxidized, or is
2 answers:
Answer: The ion formed after the reduction of bromine is
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of Sodium (Na) =
The electronic configuration of Bromine (Br) =
From the above configurations, Sodium ion will loose 1 electron in order to gain stable electronic configuration and that electron is accepted by the Bromine atom because it is 1 electron short of the stable electronic configuration.
(oxidation reaction)
(Reduction reaction)
Bromine atom is reduced to form
Reduction reactions are the reactions in which the element gain electrons.
Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which the element looses its electrons.

Answer:
-88.66 kJ/mol
Explanation:
The expressions of heat capacity (Cp,m) for C(s) and for H₂(g) are:
C(s): Cp,m/(J K-1 mol-1) = 16.86 + (4.77T/10³) - (8.54x10⁵/T²)
H₂(g): Cp,m/(J K-1 mol-1) = 27.28 + (3.26T/10³) + (0.50x10⁵/T²)
Cp = A + BT + CT⁻²
For the Kirchoff's Law:
ΔHf = ΔH°f +
Where ΔH°f is the enthalpy at 298 K, T1 is 298 K, T2 is the temperature given (373 K), and DCp is the variation of Cp (products less reactants). ΔH°f for ethene is -84.68 kJ/mol and the reaction is:
2C(s) + 3H₂(g) → C₂H₆
So, DCp:
dA = A(C₂H₆) - [2xA(C) + 3xA(H₂)] = 14.73 - [2x16.86 + 3x27.28] = -100.83
dB = B(C₂H₆) - [2xB(C) + 3xB(H₂)] = 0.1272 - [2x4.77x10⁻³ + 3x3.26x10⁻³] = 0.10788
dC = C(C₂H₆) - [2xC(C) + 3xC(H₂)] = 0 - (2x(-8.54x10⁵) + 3x0.50x10⁵) = 15.58x10⁵
dCp = -100.83 + 0.10788T + 15.58x10⁵T⁻²
= -3796.48 J/mol = -3.80 kJ/mol (solved by a graphic calculator)
ΔHf = -84.68 - 3.80
ΔHf = -88.66 kJ/mol
