What would be the oxidation and reduction half reactions for this equation?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻   OXIDATION

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s)   REDUCTION

Explanation:

The redox reaction is: MgCl₂(aq) + Fe(s) → FeCl₂(aq) + Mg(s)

We need to know that elements in ground state have 0 as the oxidation state.

Iron in the reactants, and Mg in the products

In the magnessium chloride, the Mg acts with+2, so the oxidation state has decreased → REDUCTION

In the iron(II) chloride, the Fe acts with +2, so the oxidation statehas increased → OXIDATION

The half reactions are:

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻   OXIDATION

Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s)   REDUCTION

1) 7.15 * 10^6

since the exponent of the scientific notation is positive, move 6 places to the right.

so, <em>7.15 * 10^6 = 7150000</em>

2) 3.03 * 10^-8

Since the exponent of the scientific notation is negative, move the decimal point 8 places to the left.

so,<em> 3.03 * 10^-8 = 0.0000000303</em>

<em />

3)<em> </em>4.9 * 10^-1

since the exponent of the scientific notation is negative, move 1 decimal place to the left.

so,<em> 4.9 * 10^-1 = 0.49</em>

<em />

4) 2.886 * 10^5

since the exponent of the scientific notation is positive, move 5 decimal places to the right.

so,<em> 2.886 * 10^5 = 288600</em>

The law of conservation in mass
Anon25 [30]
The Law of Conservation of Mass dates from Antoine Lavoisier's 1789 discovery that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. ... If we account for all reactants and products in a chemical reaction, the total mass will be the same at any point in time in any closed system.

Carbon exists in nature as three isotopes. Given the atomic masses and relative abundance of the isotopes, what is the average a
Ivan

The most abundant carbon isotope is carbon-12.

The relative atomic mass of carbon is 12.011, which is extremely close to 12.0. This means that the masses C-13, and C-14 are practically negligible when contributing to the relative atomic mass of carbon.

the C-12 isotope makes up 98.9% of carbon atoms, C-13 makes up 1.1% of carbon atoms, and C-14 makes up just a trace of carbon atoms as they are found in nature.
