Answer:

A decrease in temperature changes "the number of collisions between molecules. The reaction rate will decrease.

Blank A: "the number of collisions between molecules.

Blank B: decrease.

An increase in temperature causes a rise in the energy levels of the molecules involved in the reaction, so the rate of the reaction increases. Similarly, the rate of reaction will decrease with a decrease in temperature.

Change in temperature affects the rate of reaction since it causes a change in the number of collisions per unit time. These collisions cause the breaking of bonds and formation of new ones giving out new products. An increase in temperature increases the rate of collisions hence increasing the rate of reaction while a decrease in temperature leads to a decrease in the rate of reaction due to the decreased number of collisions per unit time. thus the correct choice for blank A is: B. the number of collisions between molecules and for blank B: decrease.

Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent for 4Li(s) + O_2 (g) to 2Li_2O(s).

wolverine [178]

Answer: Li is the reducing agentg and O is the oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

1) The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced and the reducing agent is the one that is oxidized.

2) The given reaction is:

4Li(s) + O₂ (g) → 2 Li₂O(s)

3) Determine the oxidation states of each atom:

Li(s): oxidation state = 0 (since it is alone)

O₂ (g): oxidation state = 0 (since it is alone)

Li in Li₂O (s) +1

O in Li₂O -2

That because 2× (+1) - 2 = 0.

4) Determine the changes:

Li went from 0 to + 1, therefore it got oxidized and it is the reducing agent.

O went from 0 to - 2, therefore it got reduced and it is the oxidizing agent.

A reaction is non-spontaneous at any temperature when

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

A reaction is non-spontaneous at any temperature when the Gibbs free energy > 0.

Explanation:

There is a state function, that determines if a reaction is sponaneous or non spontaneous:

ΔG = Gibbs free energy

A reaction is non spontaneous when it does require energy to produce that reaction. It will be spontaneous, when the reaction does not require energy to be occured.

The formula is: ΔG = ΔH - T.ΔS

ΔH → Enthalpy → Energy gained or realeased as heat.

ΔH < 0 → Exothermic reaction. Spontaneity is favored

T → Temperature

ΔS → Entropy → Degree of disorder of a system.

When the system has a considered disorder ΔS > 0, disorder increases.

When the system is more ordered, ΔS < 0, disorder decreases.

The reaction will be non spontaneous if, the enthalpy is positive (endothermic reaction) and the ΔS < 0 (disorder decreases). It will not occur if we do not give energy.

ΔG < 0 → Spontaneous reaction

ΔG > 0 → Non spontaneous reaction

ΔG = 0 → System in equilibrium
