What element is reduced in the following reaction?

1 answer:

6 0

the oxidation states of the elements before and after the reaction is;
Pb oxidation state changes from 0 to +2
SO₄²⁻ ion there's no change in the oxidation state during the reaction
Au oxidation state changes from +3 to 0
reduction reactions are when there's a decrease in the oxidation state of the species
oxidation reactions are when theres an increase in the oxidation state of the species
the element where there's a decrease in oxidation state is Au.
Therefore Au gets reduced.
answer is B) Au

A 32.5 g iron rod, initially at 22.4 ∘C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.0 ∘C, in an insulated container. The f

Answer:

The mass of water $m_{w}$ = 39.18 gm

Explanation:

Mass of iron $m_{iron}$ = 32.5 gm

Initial temperature of iron $T_{1}$ = 22.4°c = 295.4 K

Specific heat of iron $C_{iron}$ = 0.448 $\frac{KJ}{kg K}$

Mass of water = $m_{w}$

Specific heat of water $C_{w} = 4.2 \frac{KJ}{kg K}$

Initial temperature of water $T_{2}$ = 336 K

Final temperature after equilibrium $T_{f}$ = 59.7°c = 332.7 K

When iron rod is submerged into water then

Heat lost by water = Heat gain by iron rod

$m_{w}$ $C_{w}$ ( $T_{2}$ - $T_{f}$ ) = $m_{iron}$ $C_{iron}$ ( $T_{f}$ - $T_{1}$ )

Put all the values in above formula we get

$m_{w}$ × 4.2 × ( 336 - 332.7 ) = 32.5 × 0.448 × ( 332.7 - 295.4 )

$m_{w}$ = 39.18 gm

Therefore the mass of water $m_{w}$ = 39.18 gm

What is one use of the fluoride ion?

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Fluoride is commonly used in dentistry to strengthen enamel, which is the outer layer of your teeth. Fluoride helps to prevent cavities. It’s also added in small amounts to public water supplies in the United States and in many other countries. This process is called water fluoridation.

The half-cell is a chamber in the voltaic cell where one half-cell is the site of the oxidation reaction and the other half-cell

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\rm \text{Fe(s) $\rightleftharpoons$ Fe$^{2+}$(aq) + 2e$^{-}$}}$

Explanation:

The half-cell reduction potentials are

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⇌ Ag(s) E° = 0.7996 V

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Fe(s) E° = -0.447 V

To create a spontaneous voltaic cell, we reverse the half-reaction with the more negative half-cell potential.

The anode is the electrode at which oxidation occurs.

The equation for the oxidation half-reaction is

$\boxed{\rm \textbf{Fe(s) $\rightleftharpoons$ Fe$^{2+}$(aq) + 2e$^{-}$}}$
