An endothermic dissolution process a. absorbs energy as heat and has positive enthalpy of solution. b. releases energy as heat a

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

a. absorbs energy as heat and has positive enthalpy of solution.

Explanation:

A reaction can either be exothermic or endothermic. An endothermic reaction, as the dissolution described in the question, is that which absorbs heat energy from the surroundings in order to start the reaction.

Because an endothermic reaction makes heat lost from the surroundings, the enthalpy (∆H) of the solution will be positive (+). ∆H is got by finding the difference between the enthalpy of the reactants and products and since the enthalpy of a product in endothermic reaction is more, the enthalpy change (∆T) will be positive.

Balancing the reaction by oxidation number method k2cr2o7+sncl2+hcl

Mumz [18]

Answer:

$K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + 14 HCl (aq) + 3 SnCl_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2 CrCl_3 (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 SnCl_4 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq)$

Explanation:

The products of this reaction are given by:

$K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + SnCl_2 (aq) + HCl (aq)\rightarrow KCl (aq) + SnCl_4 (aq) + CrCl_3 (aq) + H_2O (l)$

Firstly, dichromate anion becomes chromium(III) cation, let's write this change:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+} (aq)$

The following steps should be taken:

balance the main element, chromium: multiply the right side by 2 to get 2 chromium species on both side:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq)$

balance oxygen atoms by adding 7 water molecules on the right:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

balance the hydrogen atoms by adding 14 protons on the left:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

balance the charge (the total net charge on the left is 12+, on the right we have 6+, so 6 electrons are needed on the left):

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 6e^-\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

Similarly, tin(II) cation becomes tin(IV) cation:

$Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+} (aq) + 2e^-$

Now that we have the two half-equations, multiply the second one by 3, so that it also has 6 electrons that will be cancelled out upon addition of the two half-equations:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 6e^-\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l)$

$3 Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow 3 Sn^{4+} (aq) + 6e^-$

Add them together:

$Cr_2O_7^{2-} (aq) + 14 H^+ (aq) + 3 Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow 2 Cr^{3+} (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 Sn^{4+} (aq)$

Adding the ions spectators:

$K_2Cr_2O_7 (aq) + 14 HCl (aq) + 3 SnCl_2 (aq)\rightarrow 2 CrCl_3 (aq) + 7 H_2O (l) + 3 SnCl_4 (aq) + 2 KCl (aq)$
