Balance this half-reaction: Re → ReO2 (acidic solution)

Chemistry

tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
7 0
This redox reaction occurs in acidic solution, meaning that we need to add H+ and H2O to help balance it out (for comparison, balancing in basic solution would involve OH- and H2O instead).

Notice that the right side of the half reaction already has oxygen added to it, so we need to add the water to the other side. This way, the left side of the reaction would get enough oxygen to match the right side. Add enough water to the left to match the number of oxygens on the right.

2H2O + Re — ReO2

We now have two oxygens on each side, but the left has four more hydrogens than the right. Fix this by adding 4H+ to the right side of the equation.

2H2O + Re — ReO2 + 4H+

The number of each element matches the number of each on the other side; the only thing left is to balance the charges. The left side of the equation has a charge of 0, but the right has a charge of +4. We can fix this by adding four electrons to the right to cancel out the +4 charge.


2H2O + Re — ReO2 + 4H+ + 4e-

That’s the balanced equation.

A rectangular fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. The perimeter is 60ft. Find the dimensions of the fence
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will turn this question into an equation.

The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l + 2w = perimeter.

In the question we were given the perimeter so we can go ahead and plug this in.

2l + 2w = 60

In the question we are also told that the fence is 3 times as long as it is wide. This means that 1l = 3w. We can now subsitute l for 3w so that we only have one variable.

2(3w) + 2w = 60

Now we can simply use algebra to solve for w.

6w + 2w = 60

8w = 60

w = 7.5

Now that we know the value of w we can find the value of l since we know 1l = 3w.

l = 3w

l = 3(7.5)

l = 22.5

The length of the fence is 22.5ft and the width of the fence is 7.5ft.
