Answer:

See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

In redox reactions (oxide reduction) the transfer of electrons between compounds occurs.

In oxidation, electrons are lost (positive charge increases). Example:

Mg ---> Mg2 + + 2 e- (passes from Mg ° to Mg 2+)

On the other hand in the reduction, electrons are gained (negative charge increases or the positive one increases). Example:

Cl2 + 2e- ---> 2 Cl- + 2 e- (passes from Cl ° to Cl-)

Olin [163]

Firstly we need to determine the partial pressure of O2:

$\begin{gathered} P_{O_2}=X\times P_T \\ P_{O_2}:partial\text{ }pressure \\ X:mole\text{ }fraction \\ P_T:total\text{ }pressure \\ \\ P_{O_2}=0.209\times0.35\text{ }atm \\ P_{O_2}=0.073\text{ }atm \end{gathered}$

We will now use the Henry's Law equation to determine the solubility of the gas:

$\begin{gathered} c=K_H\times P_{O_2} \\ c:solubility\text{ }or\text{ }concentration\text{ }of\text{ }the\text{ }gas(M) \\ K_H:Henry^{\prime}sLawconstant=3.7\times10^{-2}M\text{ }atm^{-1} \\ P_{O_2}:partial\text{ }pressure\text{ }of\text{ }the\text{ }gas=0.073atm \\ \\ c=3.7\times10^{-2}M\text{ }atm^{-1}\times0.073 \\ c=2.7\times10^{-3}M \end{gathered}$

Answer: Solubility is 2.7x10^-3 M

A 15.0 g sample of nickel metal is heated to 100.0 degrees C and dropped into 55.0 g of water, initially at 23.0 degrees C. Assu

OLEGan [10]

Answer: The final temperature of nickel and water is $25.2^{o}C$ .

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of water, m = 55.0 g,

Initial temp, $(t_{i}) = 23^{o}C$ ,

Final temp, $(t_{f})$ = ?,

Specific heat of water = 4.184 $J/g^{o}C$ ,

Now, we will calculate the heat energy as follows.

q = $mS \Delta t$

= $55.0 g \times 4.184 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 23^{o}C)$

Also,

mass of Ni, m = 15.0 g,

Initial temperature, $t_{i} = 100^{o}C$ ,

Final temperature, $t_{f}$ = ?

Specific heat of nickel = 0.444 $J/g^{o}C$

Hence, we will calculate the heat energy as follows.

q = $mS \Delta t$

= $15.0 g \times 0.444 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 100^{o}C)$

Therefore, heat energy lost by the alloy is equal to the heat energy gained by the water.

$q_{water}(gain) = -q_{alloy}(lost)$

$55.0 g \times 4.184 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 23^{o}C)$ = -( $15.0 g \times 0.444 J/g^{o}C \times (t_{f} - 100^{o}C)$ )

$t_{f} = \frac{25.9^{o}C}{1.029}$

= $25.2^{o}C$

Thus, we can conclude that the final temperature of nickel and water is $25.2^{o}C$ .

Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of permanganate ion mno−4 to solid manganese dioxide mno2 in acidic aqueous sol

Svetlanka [38]

The half-reaction includes either the reduction or the oxidation reaction of the redox reactions. In acidic solution permanganate ion will react with hydrogen ion to yield manganese ion and water.

<h3>What are Redox reactions?</h3>

Redox or oxidation-reduction reactions are the chemical reactions in which the oxidation and the reduction of the chemical species occur simultaneously.

Permanganate (VII) ion is a strong oxidizing agent and gets easily reduced to manganese ion in presence of the hydrogen ion in an acidic solution.

The balanced half-reaction for reduction is shown as,

$\rm MnO_{4}^{-} \; (aq)+ 8H^{+} \; (aq)+ 5e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+} \; (aq)+ 4H_{2}O \; (l)$
