F. <em>None of the above </em>

<em>No O atoms are present</em> as reacting substances, only O_2 and H_2O molecules.

O_2 + 2H_2O + 2e^(-) → 4OH^(-)

We must use <em>oxidation numbers</em> to decide whether oxygen or water is the substance reduced.

The oxidation number of O changes from 0 in O_2 to -2 in OH^(-).

A decrease in oxidation number is <em>reduction</em>, so O_2 is the substance  reduced.

The oxidation number of O is -2 in both H_2O and OH^(-), so water is <em>neither oxidized nor reduced</em>.

Which of the following statements is always TRUE for the freezing of water?
Rom4ik [11]

ΔG > 0 is always true for the freezing of water.

Explanation:

  • The freezing of water is only spontaneous when the temperature is fairly small. Over 273 K, the higher value of TΔS causes the sign of ΔG to be positive, and there is no freezing point.
  • The entropy decreases as water freezes. This does not infringe the Thermodynamics second law. The second law doesn't suggest entropy will never diminish anywhere.
  • Entropy will decline elsewhere, provided it increases by at least as much elsewhere.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Ionul de hidroniu este un factor important atunci când avem de-a face cu reacții chimice care apar în soluții apoase. Concentrația sa în raport cu hidroxidul este o măsură directă a pH-ului unei soluții. Se poate forma atunci când un acid este prezent în apă sau pur și simplu în apă pură. Formula chimică este H3O +

Explanation:

The hydronium ion is an important factor when dealing with chemical reactions that occur in aqueous solutions. Its concentration relative to hydroxide is a direct measure of the pH of a solution. It can be formed when an acid is present in water or simply in pure water. It's chemical formula is H3O+
