Which half-reaction is most easily oxidized?

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


alisha [4.7K]3 years ago

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>.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

was difficult to place isotopes of elements as they have the same chemical properties but different atomic masses. It was not possible to predict how many elements could be discovered between two heavy elements as the rise in atomic mass is not uniform.

Write the difference between isomerism and allotropy with one example each.
fredd [130]

Answer:

hope it helps ..

Explanation:

Allotropes can be defined as different types of compounds made out of the same single element but in different chemical formulas and different arrangements. Isomers can be defined as the chemical compounds that have a similar molecular formula but with different structural formulae. Graphite and Diamond.

Which of the following alcohols will give a positive chromic acid test?
Sindrei [870]
The answer is both B and C

positive chromic acid test is indicated by disappearance of orange colour from chromic ions and appearance of blue-green color from Chromium (iii) ion (reduction of chromium ion from CrO4 - to Cr3+)

positive chromic test indicated functional groups that can be oxidized.

cyclohexanol can be oxidized to become cyclohexanone

and pentan-3-ol can be oxidized to become pentan-3-one

hence both B and C will show positive chromic acid test

A) tert butanol although contains alcohol functional group, cannot be further oxidized as it is a tertiary alcohol
