For the following electron-transfer reaction:

Chemistry
1 answer:
creativ13 [48]3 years ago
4 0

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⁻

A certain reaction with an activation energy of 185 kJ/mol was run at 505 K and again at 525 K . What is the ratio of f at the h
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The ratio of f at the higher temperature to f at the lower temperature is 5.356

Explanation:

Given;

activation energy, Ea = 185 kJ/mol = 185,000 J/mol

final temperature, T₂ = 525 K

initial temperature, T₁ = 505 k

Apply Arrhenius equation;

Log(\frac{f_2}{f_1} ) = \frac{E_a}{2.303 \times R} [\frac{1}{T_1} -\frac{1}{T_2} ]

Where;

\frac{f_2}{f_1}  is the ratio of f at the higher temperature to f at the lower temperature

R is gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

Log(\frac{f_2}{f_1} ) = \frac{E_a}{2.303 \times R} [\frac{1}{T_1} -\frac{1}{T_2} ]\\\\Log(\frac{f_2}{f_1} ) = \frac{185,000}{2.303 \times 8.314} [\frac{1}{505} -\frac{1}{525} ]\\\\Log(\frac{f_2}{f_1} ) = 0.7289\\\\\frac{f_2}{f_1}  = 10^{0.7289}\\\\\frac{f_2}{f_1}  = 5.356

Therefore, the ratio of f at the higher temperature to f at the lower temperature is 5.356

The reaction shown below occurs in the blood between hemoglobin (Hb) and oxygen.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

A, B, C

Explanation:

Notice that this reaction involves double arrows, meaning this represents an equilibrium reaction in which we observe a forward reaction (combination of hemoglobin and oxygen) and a reverse reaction (decomposition of the oxyhemoglobin complex).

Upon inhalation of oxygen, it accesses the blood of a person and binds to hemoglobin, so the following reaction proceeds to the right.

Similarly, the opposite process takes place in muscles, oxyhemoglobin is decomposed back into hemoglobin and oxygen.

The equilibrium constant reaction is relatively high, since at standard conditions, this is a spontaneous reaction, hemoglobin combines with oxygen without any additional external source of energy.
