Answer:

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

Explanation:

Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)

In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:

Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.

The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.

Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:

Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)  

Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

In the reaction mg(s)+2hcl(aq) h2(g)+mgcl2(aq), how many grams of hydrogen gas will be produced from 125.0 ml of a 6.0m hcl in a
Kruka [31]
6.0m(mol/kg) of HCl
125mL H2O = 0.125kg
6mol/kg = n mol/0.125kg, n = 0.75mol
When 0.75mol of HCl reacts, 0.75/2=0.375mol of H2 is produced. H2 = 2g/mol
So, 0.375mol H2 = 0.75g

What happens to the energy that is lost when water freezes?
SVEN [57.7K]
<span>As we know through the principle of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore, the energy removed from the water in order to make it freeze is absorbed by the surroundings. This is why the surroundings in which freezing is taking place are below freezing. This is more easily illustrated in the example of condensation. If you were to hold a plate over a pot of boiling water, some of the water would give its energy to the plate and condense on its surface.</span>

An ideal gas occupies a volume V at an absolute temperature T. If the volume is halved and the pressure kept constant, what will
Kruka [31]

Answer:

It will be halve of T

Explanation:

V1 = V

T1 = T

V2 = ½V

T2 = x

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V/T = ½V/x

Vx = ½VT

2Vx = VT

2x = T

x = ½T

a 125 g chunk of aluminum at 182 degrees Celsius was added to a bucket filled with 365 g of water at 22.0 degrees Celsius. Ignor
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

32.98°C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the following;

Mass of Aluminium as 125 g

Initial temperature of Aluminium as 182°C

Mass of water as 265 g

Initial temperature of water as 22°C

We are required to calculate the final temperature of the two compounds;

First, we need to know the specific heat capacity of each;

Specific heat capacity of Aluminium is 0.9 J/g°C

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the Quantity of heat gained by water.</h3>

Assuming the final temperature is X°C

we know, Q = mcΔT

Change in temperature, ΔT = (X-22)°C

therefore;

Q = 365 g × 4.184 J/g°C × (X-22)°C

    = (1527.16X-33,597.52) Joules

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the quantity of heat released by Aluminium </h3>

Using the final temperature, X°C

Change in temperature, ΔT = -(X°- 182°)C (negative because heat was lost)

Therefore;

Q = 125 g × 0.90 J/g°C × (182°-X°)C

  = (20,475- 112.5X) Joules

<h3>Step 3: Calculating the final temperature</h3>

We need to know that the heat released by aluminium is equal to heat absorbed by water.

Therefore;

(20,475- 112.5X) Joules = (1527.16X-33,597.52) Joules

Combining the like terms;

1639.66X = 54072.52

             X = 32.978°C

                = 32.98°C

Therefore, the final temperature of the two compounds will be 32.98°C
