Which substance is oxidized and which is reduced in this reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Eddi Din [679]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A) HBr oxidized; HCl reduced

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Cl₂ + 2HBr → 2HCl + Br₂

The given reaction is redox reaction because oxidation reduction take place.

Cl₂ is reduced from oxidation state 0 to -1 while HBr oxidized from -1 to 0.

Chlorine is oxidizing agent while HBr is reducing agent.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized

One reaction involved in the conversion of iron ore to the metal is FeO(s) + CO(g) → Fe(s) + CO2(g) Use Hess’s Law to calculate
Ugo [173]

Answer:

\delta H_{rxn} = -66.0  \ kJ/mole

Explanation:

Given that:

3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)} \to 2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \  \ \delta H = -47.0 \ kJ/mole  -- equation (1)  \\ \\ \\ Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +3CO_{(g)} \to 2FE_{(s)} + 3CO_{2(g)}  \ \ \delta H = -25.0 \ kJ/mole  -- equation (2)  \\ \\ \\ Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + CO_{(g)} \to 3FeO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)} \ \delta H = 19.0 \ kJ/mole  -- equation (3)

From equation (3) , multiplying (-1) with equation (3) and interchanging reactant with the product side; we have:

3FeO_{(s)} + CO_{2(g)}    \to    Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + CO_{(g)}   \ \delta H = -19.0 \ kJ/mole  -- equation (4)

Multiplying  (2) with equation (4) ; we have:

6FeO_{(s)} + 2CO_{2(g)}    \to    2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + 2CO_{(g)}   \ \delta H = -38.0 \ kJ/mole  -- equation (5)

From equation (1) ; multiplying (-1) with equation (1); we have:

2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \to     3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)}   \  \ \delta H = 47.0 \ kJ/mole  -- equation (6)

From equation (2); multiplying (3) with equation (2); we have:

3 Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +9CO_{(g)} \to 6FE_{(s)} + 9CO_{2(g)}  \ \ \delta H = -75.0 \ kJ/mole  -- equation (7)

Now; Adding up equation (5), (6) & (7) ; we get:

6FeO_{(s)} + 2CO_{2(g)}    \to    2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + 2CO_{(g)}   \ \delta H = -38.0 \ kJ/mole  -- equation (5)

2Fe_3O_4_{(s)} +CO_{2(g)} \to     3FeO_3_{(s)}+CO_{(g)}   \  \ \delta H = 47.0 \ kJ/mole  -- equation (6)

3 Fe_2O_3_{(s)} +9CO_{(g)} \to 6FE_{(s)} + 9CO_{2(g)}  \ \ \delta H = -75.0 \ kJ/mole  -- equation (7)

<u>                                                                                                                      </u>

FeO  \ \ \ +  \ \ \ CO   \ \  \to   \ \ \ \ Fe_{(s)} + \ \ CO_{2(g)} \ \ \  \delta H = - 66.0 \ kJ/mole

<u>                                                                                                                     </u>

<u />

\delta H_{rxn} = \delta H_1 +  \delta H_2 +  \delta H_3    (According to Hess Law)

\delta H_{rxn} = (-38.0 +  47.0 + (-75.0)) \ kJ/mole

\delta H_{rxn} = -66.0  \ kJ/mole

Fulgurites are the products of the melting that occurs when lightning strikes the earth. Microscopic examination of a sand fulgu
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Fe₃Si₇

Explanation:

In order to determine the empirical formula, we have to follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Determine the percent composition

Fe: 46.01%

Si: 53.99%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

Fe: 46.01/55.85 = 0.8238

Si: 53.99/28.09 = 1.922

Step 3: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

Fe: 0.8238/0.8238 = 1

Si: 1.922/0.8238 = 2.33

Step 4: Multiply by numbers that make the coefficients whole.

Fe: 1 × 3 = 3

Si: 2.33 × 3 = 7

The empirical formula is Fe₃Si₇.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Structures are given below.

Explanation:

  • Treatment of 2-bromo-2-methylbutane with KOH in ethanol will give elimination of HBr through E2 mechanism.
  • H atoms adjacent to Br will be eliminated.
  • 2-bromo-2-methylbutane has two possible adjacent H atoms that can be eliminated giving mixture of products.
  • Product of this elimination reaction is alkene. Here saytzeff fule is followed during elimination. So most substituted alkene will be major product.
  • Structure of alkenes are given below.
