Explain the concept of electron density

1 answer:

5 0

Electron density is the measure of theprobability of an electron being present at a specific location.

In molecules, regions of electron density are usually found around the atom, and its bonds. In de-localized orconjugated systems, such as phenol,benzene and compounds such as hemoglobin and chlorophyll, the electron density covers an entire region, i.e., in benzene they are found above and below the planar ring. This is sometimes shown diagrammatically as a series of alternating single and double bonds. In the case of phenol and benzene, a circle inside a hexagon shows the de-localized nature of the compound.

The standard cell potential Ec for the reduction of silver ions with elemental copper is 0.46V at 25 degrees celsius. calculate

Cloud [144]

Answer : The $\Delta G$ for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Cu(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)$

Here, magnesium (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

The half oxidation-reduction reaction will be :

Oxidation : $Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction : $2Ag^++2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag$

Now we have to calculate the Gibbs free energy.

Formula used :

$\Delta G^o=-nFE^o$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons to balance the reaction = 2

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C/mole

$E^o$ = standard e.m.f of cell = 0.46 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

$\Delta G^o=-(2\times 96500\times 0.46)=-88780J/mole$

Therefore, the $\Delta G$ for this reaction is, -88780 J/mole.

A student claims that if she wanted to make a solution quickly, she should use small pellets instead of powder along with heatin

vova2212 [387]

Answer: Yes we agree with the student's claim.

Explanation:

When the molecules are present in smaller size, more reactants can react as decreasing the size increases the surface area of the reactants which will enhance the contact of molecules.Hence, more products will form leading to increased rate of reaction.

On increasing the temperature will make more reactant molecules will have sufficient energies to cross the energy barrier and thus the number of effective collisions increases, thus leading to more products and increased rate of reaction.

When the solution is stirred , the molecule's kinetic energy and thus the rate of reaction increases.

Thus smaller size, stirring and increase of temperature will make the solution quickly.

Which reactions are oxidation-reduction reactions? check all that apply. fes(s) 2hcl(aq) â†’ h2s(g) fecl2(g) agno3(aq) nacl(aq)

Dafna1 [17]

oxidation-reduction reactions are -

2C3H6(g) + 9O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(l) + 3CO2(g)

For reaction,

2C3H6(g) + 9O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)

On reactant side:

Oxidation state of Carbon = +2

Oxidation state of Oxygen = 0

On product side:

Oxidation state of Carbon = +4

Oxidation state of Oxygen = -2

Here, carbon's oxidation state is rising from +2 to +4. As a result, it is oxidizing and the oxygen's oxidation state is decreasing from 0 to -2. As a result, it is decreasing.

For reaction,

Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(l) + 3CO2(g)

When reacting:

Iron's oxidation state is +3.

Carbon's oxidation state is +2.

On product side:

Iron's oxidation state is zero.

Carbon's oxidation state is +4.

Here, carbon's oxidation state is rising from +2 to +4. As a result, it is being oxidized and the iron's oxidation state is changing from +3 to 0. As a result, it is decreasing.
