Which of the following describes a chemical reaction?

1 answer:

4 0

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. Atoms in substances react with each other describes a chemical reaction. From the statement itself, the word react is present this signifies a reaction. Hope this answers the question.

When will diffusion slow down

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Exchange across cell membranes - diffusion. The higher the concentration gradient, the faster the rate of facilitated diffusion, up to a point. As equilibrium is reached the concentration gradient is much lower because the difference in concentrations is very small so the rate of facilitated diffusion will slow down and level off.

Calculate the volume which 1.00 mole of a gas occupies at 1 atm and 298K?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

25.45 Liters

Explanation:

Using Ideal Gas Law PV = nRT => V = nRT/P

V = (1mole)(0.08206Latm/molK)(298K)/(1atm) = 25.45 Liters

Under standard-state conditions, which of the following species is the best reducing agent? a. Ag+ b. Pb c. H2 d. Ag e. Mg2+

eimsori [14]

Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which help the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. They undergo oxidation reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

For determination of reducing agents, we will look at the oxidation potentials of the substance. Oxidation potentials can be determined by reversing the standard reduction potentials.

For the given options:

Option a: $Ag^+$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +1 is the most stable oxidation state of silver.

Option b: $Pb$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Pb^{2+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.13 V

$Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{(Pb/Pb^{2+})}=+0.13V$

Option c: $H_2$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $H^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.0 V

$H_2\rightarrow 2H^++2e^-;E^o_{(H_2/H^{+})}=0.0V$

Option d: $Ag$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Ag^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is -0.80 V

$Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-;E^o_{(Ag/Ag^{+})}=-0.80V$

Option e: $Mg^{2+}$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +2 is the most stable oxidation state of magnesium.

By looking at the standard oxidation potential of the substances, the substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get oxidized and will undergo oxidation reaction. Thus, considered as strong reducing agent.

From the above values, the correct answer is Option b.
