Which half-reaction is most easily oxidized?

Answer: Na^+ + e → Na= -2.71 V (D for plato users)

Answer:

Na+ + e- Na = -2.71 V

Explanation:

We have to remember the nomenclature for redox reactions:

<u>Oxidation</u>:

M~->~M^++e^-

<u>Reduction</u>:

M^+ + e^-~ ->M

So, all the answer options are written as <u>reductions</u>. Therefore the voltage values, in this case, would be the <u>reduction potentials</u>. If we have a higher (<u>positive</u>) potential the compound would be <u>more inclined to a reduction</u> and vice-versa if we have a smaller potential (<u>negative</u>) the compound would be <u>more inclined to oxidation</u>.

In this case, the <u>most negative value</u> is for Na+, so this atom would be more easily <u>oxidized</u>.

You have two buffered solutions. Buffered solution 1 consists of 5.0 M HOAc and 5.0 M NaOAc; buffered solution 2 is made of 0.05
andre [41]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates pH to the concentrations of an weak acid-base conjugate pair as follows:

pH = pKa + log([A⁻]/[HA])

For solution 1, the pH may be expressed as follows:

pH = pKa + log(5.0M/5.0M) = pKa

For solution 2,  pH may be expressed as follows:

pH = pKa + log(0.050M/0.050M) = pKa

Thus, the pH values are equal to the pKa in both cases and are the same.

Which one of the following processes produces a decrease in the entropy of the system?a, precipitation of AgCl(s) from Ag+(aq) a
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:  precipitation of AgCl(s) from Ag^+(aq) and Cl^-(aq) ions in solution

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

\Delta S is positive when randomness increases and \Delta S is negative when randomness decreases.

a) precipitation of AgCl(s) from Ag^+(aq) and Cl^-(aq) ions in solution : As ions are getting solidified, entropy decreases.

b) dissolution of LiOH(s) in water: The compounds dissociates into ions, entropy increases.

c) melting solid gold into liquid gold: The randomness increases, entropy increases.

d) evaporation of Hg(l) to form Hg(g) : The randomness increases, entropy increases.

e)  mixing of two gases into one container : The randomness increases, entropy increases.

When a solute is added to a solution why does it remain homogeneous?
Olenka [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                 When a solute is added to a solution, it remains homogeneous because the solute is soluble in given solvent.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                         Homogeneous mixtures, also called true solutions are those mixtures in which the components proportions are same throughout in any given sample. For example, the mixture of table salt (NaCl) and water. When the solution is unsaturated and further NaCl is added to it, it will dissolve the NaCl because the saturation point is still not reached. Remember, as "<em>Like Dissolves Like</em>" NaCl being polar in nature will interact with water molecules and will dissociate into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions surrounded by δ- O and δ+ H atoms of water molecules.

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

                  In order to form a Homogeneous mixture the solution must be unsaturated, solvent must have affinity for incoming solute particles and the size of solute should be equal to 1 Â (Angstrom).
