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

Be sure to answer all parts. A 0.365−mol sample of HX is dissolved in enough H2O to form 835.0 mL of solution. If the pH of the
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The Ka is 9.11 *10^-8

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Moles of HX = 0.365

Volume of the solution = 835.0 mL = 0.835 L

pH of the solution = 3.70

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate molarity of HX

Molarity HX = moles HX / volume solution

Molarity HX = 0.365 mol / 0.835 L

Molarity HX = 0.437 M

<u />

<u>Step 3:</u> ICE-chart

[H+] = [H3O+] = 10^-3.70 = 1.995 *10^-4

Initial concentration of HX = 0.437 M

Initial concentration of X- and H3O+ = 0M

Since the mole ratio is 1:1; there will react x M

The concentration at the equilibrium is:

[HX] = (0.437 - x)M

[X-] = x M

[H3O+] = 1.995*10^-4 M

Since 0+x = 1.995*10^-4   ⇒ x=1.995*10^-4

[HX] = 0.437 - 1.995*10^-4 ≈ 0.437 M

[X-] = x = 1.995*10^-4 M

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate Ka

Ka = [X-]*[H3O+] / [HX]

Ka = ((1.995*10^-4)²)/ 0.437

Ka = 9.11 *10^-8

The Ka is 9.11 *10^-8

A gas has an empirical formula CH4. 0.16g of the gas occupies a volume of 240cm^3 What is the molecular formula of the gas???.
yulyashka [42]

Explanation and answer:

The molar volume of a gas is 22.4 L at 0 deg. C.

So the molar mass of the gas is, by proportion,

0.16 g * (22400 mL)/(240 mL) = 14.93 g

The molar mass of (CH4)n = 12+4(1) = 16.

So n = 15.93/16 = 1, or the molecular formula is CH4.

Note: The temperature at which the volume was observed was not given.  If 240 cm^3 was observed at 20 deg.C, then the volume at 0 deg.C would be

V=240*(273+0)/(273+20) = 223.6

The molar mass = 0.16*22400/(223.6) = 16.03

which gives n = 16/16.03 = 1 again, but more accurately.

Catalytic converters made of palladium (pd) reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between unburned hydrocarbons
Doss [256]
Unburned hydrocarbon on reacting with oxygen undergoes combustion reaction. However, the activation energy of this reaction is significantly high. When a catalyst like Pd is added to the reaction system, it provides active sites for the reaction to occur. It acts are a heterogeneous catalyst. It is pertinent of note that catalyst is refereed as heterogeneous, when it exist in different phase as compared to reactant and products. In present case, reactants and products are in gas phase, while catalyst is in solid phase. Due to availability of larger surface area at active site of Pd, activation energy of reaction decreases and decrease in activation energy favors higher reaction rates.
