Answer: The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are a type of chemical reactions in which a substance looses electrons and forms positive charge. The substance undergoing this reaction is being oxidized.

A\rightarrow A^++e^-

Reduction reactions are a type of chemical reactions in which a substance gains electrons and forms negative charge. The substance undergoing this reaction is being reduced.

A^++e^-\rightarrow A

For the half reaction in which iron gains electrons means that iron is getting reduced.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Answer  The ethanol is stabilized by strong intermolecular forces between the molecules.wer:

Explanation:

During the phase change represented by the heat of fusion the temperature does not change. The molecules in the liquid state has a higher degree of freedom but are stabilized by the strong hydrogen bonding requiring a larger into of energy to separate the molecules than the heat of fusion.

Explanation:

10. Based on their valence electrons, how many

atoms of chlorine are expected to bond

with each of the following elements?

a. carbon    CCl4

b. nitrogen NCl3

c. aluminum AlCl3  

d. sulfur SCl2

Cl is in Periodic Table column 17, so it has 7 valence  and needs 1 more to have an electronic structure like its nearest noble gas, Ar.

It then has an oxidation state 0f -1.

Carbon in column  has  +/-4 charge, so 4 Cl will bond with 1 C to make

covalent CCl4

Nitrogen in column 15  is -3.  It will share 3 electrons with 3 Cl to form

covalent NCl3

Al in column 13 give away 3 electrons to 3 Cl to form

ionic AlCl3

S in column 16 will share 2 electrons with 2 Cl and frorm

Answer:

G<0, spontanteous

H<0, from equation

S>0, gas to solid

Explanation:

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. Despite its name, silica gel is a solid. It is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of SiO2. Water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, so it acts as a desiccant. Despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided, you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. Predict the signs of ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS.
