<u>Answer:</u> Copper is getting oxidized and is a reducing agent. Silver is getting reduced and is oxidizing agent.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the atom increases.

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

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the atom decreases.

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

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

For the given chemical reaction:

Cu(s)+2AgNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Cu(NO_3)_2(aq.)

The half reactions for the above reaction are:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  2Ag^+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag(s)

From the above reactions, copper is loosing its electrons. Thus, it is getting oxidized and is considered as a reducing agent.

Silver is gaining electrons and thus is getting reduced and is considered as an oxidizing agent.

What is the change in internal energy (ΔΕ) of a system when 5 kJ of work is done on the system while it releases 13 kJ of energy
meriva

The change in internal energy (ΔΕ) of a system : -8 kJ

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The laws of thermodynamics 1 state that: energy can be changed but cannot be destroyed or created  

The equation is:  

 \tt \Delta U=Q+W

Energy owned by the system is expressed as internal energy (U)  

This internal energy can change if it absorbs heat Q (U> 0), or releases heat (U <0). Or the internal energy can change if the system does work or accepts work (W)  

The sign rules for heat and work are set as follows:  

• The system receives heat, Q +  

• The system releases heat, Q -  

• The system does work, W -  

• the system accepts work, W +  

5 kJ of work is done on the system : W = +5 kJ

releases 13 kJ of energy to the surroundings : Q = -13 kJ

\tt \Delta E=-13+5=-8~kJ

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g)+2H2(g)?C2H6(g)
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Keq =1.50108

Explanation:

The given reactionis

 C₂H₂(g) +2H₂(g) -------------> C₂H₂(g)

   ΔG0 f=ΔG0f n (products) - ΔG0f n (reactants )

              = -32.89 kJ/mol - (209.2 kJ/mol+2*0.0 kJ/mol)

              = - 242.09kJ/mol

   ΔG= -RTlnKeq

   ln Keq = -ΔG/RT

           =-(- 242.09kJ/mol ) / 2 k cal /mol*298 K

           =0.406

    Keq =e0.406

         Keq =1.50108

What patterns in the rock layer fossils helped you identify an extinction?
Dafna11 [192]
Often, the rock layers bookending the mass extinction are noticeably different in their compositions. These changes in the rocks show the effects of environmental disturbances that triggered the mass extinction and sometimes hint at the catastrophic cause of the extinction
