What is the coefficient of silver in the final, balanced equation for this reaction?

Chemistry

Answer: 3

Explanation:

An oxide-reduction reaction or, simply, redox reaction, is a <u>chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reactants</u>, causing a change in their oxidation states, which is the hypothetical electric charge that the atom would have if all its links with different elements were 100% ionic.

For there to be a reduction-oxidation reaction, in the system there must be an element that yields electrons and another that accepts them:

  • The oxidizing agent picks up electrons and remains with a state of oxidation inferior to that which it had, that is, it is reduced.
  • The reducing agent supplies electrons from its chemical structure to the medium, increasing its oxidation state, ie, being oxidized.

To balance a redox equation you must <u>identify the elements that are oxidized and reduced and the amount of electrons that they release or capture, respectively. </u>

In the reaction that arises in the question the silver (Ag) is reduced <u>because it decreases its oxidation state from +1 to 0</u> and the aluminum (Al) is oxidized because <u>its oxidation state increases from 0 to +3</u>, releasing 3 electrons (e⁻). Then we can raise two half-reactions:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag⁰

Al⁰ → Al⁺³ + 3e⁻

In order to obtain the balanced equation, we must multiply the first half-reaction by 3 so that, when both half-reactions are added, the electrons are canceled. In this way:

(Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag⁰ ) x3

Al⁰ → Al⁺³ + 3e⁻               +

-------------------------------------

3Ag⁺ + Al⁰ → 3Ag⁰ + Al⁺³

So, the coefficient of silver in the final balanced equation is 3.

Which stament about energy is mostly correct
klasskru [66]
I would say C is the most correct. 
In D it depends on what water source you're using. Let's say it is a waterfall, then the source of the water (melting ice or a lake) may disappear in the future. 
If you're using underwater "windmills" placed in the ocean, then you would expect it to last a while as the ocean will not disappear in the near future.

The ccl4 formed in the first step is used as a reactant in the second step. if 2.00 mol of ch4 reacts, what is the total amount
Leni [432]
<span>CH4 + 4 Cl2 → CCl4 + 4 HCl (4.00 mol CH4) x (1/1) x (0.70) = 2.80 mol CCl4 (4.00 mol CH4) x (4/1) x (0.70) = 11.2 mol HCl CCl4 + 2 HF → CCl2F2 + 2 HCl (2.80 mol CCl4) x (2/1) x (0.70) = 3.92 mol HCl 11.2 mol + 3.92 mol = 15.1 mol HCl from both steps</span>

What happens when the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure? The liquid freezes The intermolecular forces
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The liquid boils.

Explanation:

Vapor pressure is simply defined as the pressure exerted on a substance (solid/liquid) by the vapor of the substance collected just at the top of the surface of the substance. In concise words, it is the pressure of Vapor that is in contact with its solid or liquid state.

For a liquid, it is the pressure of the Vapor gathering at the top of the surface of the liquid.

When this Vapor pressure matches the external pressure, the temperature stays constant and the molecules of the liquid all through the liquid can gain enough energy, rise to the surface of the liquid and break free in gaseous form; thereby, boiling.

The definition of boiling point basically explains that it is the point at which temperature stays constant, and the vapour pressure of the liquid matches the atmospheric/external pressure around the liquid and its liquid molecules change into vapor.

This is why liquids boil faster at higher altitudes; the atmospheric pressure at higher altitudes is reduced, hence, the temperature at which liquid boils at this high altitude is normally lower than its known boiling point temperature.

It is also why food cooks to a temperature higher than the boiling point of water in a pressure cooker/pot. The added pressure ensures that the cooking water boils at temperatures higher than its boiling point; thereby exposing the cooking ingredients to a higher temperature, leading to faster cooking.

Hence, it is obvious why boiling is the answer to this question.
