I know that the answer is C. 8, but can you explain step by step how to get that answer?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leya [2.2K]2 years ago

Answer:

8

Explanation:

Oxidation:

Fe^{2+} -->Fe^{3+}+e^{-}

Reduction:

Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}+6e^{-} -->2Cr^{3+}

We have to equalise the number  of moles of electrons gained and lost in a redox reaction in order to get a balanced reaction.

Hence we have to multiply the oxidation reaction throughout by 6.

and adding the two half-reactions we obtain:

6Fe^{2+}+Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-} -->6Fe^{3+}+2Cr^{3+}

Still the total charge and number of oxygen is not balanced.

Since the reaction takes place in acidic conditions, we will add required number of H+ to the appropriate side to balance the charge and add half the amount of H2O to balance the hydrogen atoms.

We add 14 H+ on LHS and 7H2O on RHS to obtain:

6Fe^{2+}+Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}+14H^{+} -->6Fe^{3+}+2Cr^{3+}+7H_{2}O

Sum of coefficients of product cations = 6+2 = 8

Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration . Diffusion happens in liquids and gases because their particles move randomly from place to place . Diffusion is an important process for living things ; it is how substances move in and out of cells .

Write a balanced overall reaction from these unbalanced half-reactions sn and ag
loris [4]
Balance each one by adding electrons to make the charges on both sides the same:

Sn--> Sn2+ + 2 e-
Ag+ + 1 e- --> Ag

Now, you have to have the same number of electrons in the two half-reactions, so multiply the second one by 2 to get:

2 Ag+ + 2 e- --> 2 Ag

Now, just add the two half reactions together, cancelling anything that's the same on both sides:

2 Ag+ + Sn --> Sn2+ + 2 Ag

And you're done.
