Answer:

The correct option is: B. 14 H⁺ + 6 e⁻ + Cr₂O₇²⁻ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺ + 7 H₂O

Explanation:

Redox reactions is an reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously due to the simultaneous movement of electrons from one chemical species to another.

The reduction of a chemical species is represented in a reduction half- reaction and the oxidation of a chemical species is represented in a oxidation half- reaction.

<u>To balance the reduction half-reaction for the reduction of Cr₂O₇²⁻ to Cr³⁺</u>:

Cr₂O₇²⁻ ⟶ Cr³⁺

First the <u>number of Cr atoms</u> on the reactant and product side is balanced

Cr₂O₇²⁻ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺

Now, Cr is preset in +6 oxidation state in Cr₂O₇²⁻ and +3 oxidation state in Cr³⁺. So each Cr gains 3 electrons to get reduced.

Therefore, <u>6 electrons are gained</u> by 2 Cr atoms of Cr₂O₇²⁻ to get reduced.

Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6 e⁻ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺

Now the total charge on the reactant side is (-8) and the total charge on the product side is (+6).

From the given options it is evident that the reaction must be balanced in acidic conditions.

Therefore, to <u>balance the total charge</u> on the reactant and product side,<u> 14 H⁺ is added on the reactant side.</u>

Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6 e⁻ + 14 H⁺ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺

Now to <u>balance the number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, 7 H₂O is added on the product side.</u>

Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6 e⁻ + 14 H⁺ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺ + 7 H₂O

<u>Therefore, the correct balanced reduction half-reaction is:</u>

Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 6 e⁻ + 14 H⁺ ⟶ 2 Cr³⁺ + 7 H₂O

B. The equilibrium constant for the reaction 2H2(g) + S2(g) 2H2S(g) is Keq = . (3 points)
eimsori [14]

Answer:

i. Keq=4157.99.

ii. More hydrogen sulfide will be produced.

Explanation:

Hello,

i. In this case, for the concentrations at equilibrium on the given chemical reaction, the equilibrium constant results:

Keq=\frac{[H_2S]^2}{[H_2]^2[S_2]} =\frac{(0.97M)^2}{(0.051M)^2(0.087)} =4157.99

ii. Now, by means of the Le Chatelier's principle, the addition of a reactant shifts the reaction towards products, it means that more hydrogen sulfide will be produced in order to reach equilibrium.

Best regards.

18 g of copper is mixed with silver nitrate in water. How much copper ll nitrate will formed?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Mass = 112.54 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of copper = 18 g

How much copper(II) nitrate formed = ?

Solution:

Cu + 2AgNO₃  →  Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

Number of moles of copper:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 18 g/ 29 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.6 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Cu with Cu(NO₃)₂ .

             Cu        :        Cu(NO₃)₂

              1           :             1

           0.6          :           0.6

Mass of Cu(NO₃)₂ :

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.6 mol × 187.56 g/mol

Mass = 112.54 g
