What species is reduced in the reaction below?
lesya692 [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct option is D) Ag^+

<u>Explanation:</u>

The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when oxidation number of a species increases.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when oxidation number of a species decreases.

For the given chemical reaction:

Zn^0+2Ag^+\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2Ag^0

<u>On the reactant side:</u>

Oxidation number of Zn = 0

Oxidation number of Ag = +1

<u>On the product side:</u>

Oxidation number of Zn = +2

Oxidation number of Ag = 0

As the oxidation number of Ag is decreasing from +1 to 0. Thus, Ag^+ is getting reduced.

Hence, the correct option is D) Ag^+

Four ice cubes at exactly 0 ∘c with a total mass of 52.5 g are combined with 160 g of water at 90 ∘c in an insulated container.
horrorfan [7]
Heat gained by ice cubes would be equal to the - heat lost by warm water 

The moles of ice is: 50.5 g / 18.0 g/mol = 2.81 mol 

Heat required to melt all of the ice is equal to: 2.81 mol X 6.02 kJ/mol = 16.9 kJ = 16890 J 

Now, know whether the warm water will still be above 0C when it loses this much heat:
-1690 J = 160 g (4.184 J/gC) (Delta T) Delta T = -25C 

In order to solve for the final temperature, going back to include warming of the melted ice to a final temperature: 

q(ice/water) = - q(warm water) 

moles (Delta Hf) + m c (T2-T1) = - m c (T2-T1) 

50.5 g / 18.0 g/mol = 2.81 mol 

2.81 mol X 6.02 kJ/mol + 50.5g (4.184 J/gC) (T2-0) = -160g (4.184 J/gC) ( T2-80) 

16916 + 211.3T2 = -669.4 T2 + 53555 

36639 = 880.7 T2 

T2 = 41.6 C
