Here we have to identify a piece of iron by its chemical property.

There are several chemical properties of iron for its identification but the simplest way to identify one of the renowned chemical property of iron is the formation of rust on iron in presence of water.

The iron in presence of water forms different types of iron oxides like hydrated Iron (III) oxide [Fe₂O₃.nH₂O], Iron (III) oxide-hydroxide [FeO(OH). Fe(OH)₃].

The rust is brown in color and forms only by keeping the iron piece in atmosphere. Although the humidity has an effect on the formation. The more humid the atmosphere there will be more chance to form rust on iron rod.

When the following oxidation-reduction occurs, what is the balanced reduction half-reaction after the electrons in both half rea
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer :  The balanced reduction half-reaction is:

3Cu^{2+}+6e^-\rightarrow 3Cu

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

The given balanced redox reaction is :

Al(s)+Cu^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(aq)+Cu(s)

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction : Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-

Reduction reaction : Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 2 and reduction reaction by 3 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation reaction : 2Al\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}+6e^-

Reduction reaction : 3Cu^{2+}+6e^-\rightarrow 3Cu

The balanced redox reaction will be:

2Al(s)+3Cu^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}(aq)+3Cu(s)

Thus, the balanced reduction half-reaction is:

3Cu^{2+}+6e^-\rightarrow 3Cu

Calculate the cell potential E at 25°C for the reaction 2 Al(s) + 3 Fe2+(aq) → 2 Al3+(aq) + 3 Fe(s) given that [Fe 2+] = 0.020 M
Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.18 V

Explanation:

The given cell is:

Al(s)/Al^{3+}(0.10M)||Fe^{2+}(0.020M)/Fe(s)

Half reactions for the given cell follows:

Oxidation half reaction: Al(s)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(0.10M)+2e^-;E^o_{Al^{3+}/Al}=-1.66V

Reduction half reaction: Fe^{2+}(0.020M)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s);E^o_{Fe^{2+}/Fe}=-0.45V

Multiply Oxidation half reaction by 2 and Reduction half reaction by 3

Net reaction: 2Al(s)+3Fe^{2+}(0.020M)\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}(0.10M)+3Fe(s)

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=-0.45-(-1.66)=1.21V

To calculate the EMF of the cell, we use the Nernst equation, which is:

E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.059}{n}\log \frac{[Al^{3+}]^2}{[Fe^{2+}]^3}

where,

E_{cell} = electrode potential of the cell = ?V

E^o_{cell} = standard electrode potential of the cell = +1.21 V

n = number of electrons exchanged = 6

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E_{cell}=1.21-\frac{0.059}{6}\times \log(\frac{0.10^2}{0.020^3})\\\\E_{cell}=1.18V

A 4.0 g sample of iron was heated from 0°C to 20.°C. It absorbed 35.2 J of energy as heat. What is the specific heat of this pie
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Explanation:i joule is equal to 0.238902957619 calories so 1251 joules is equal to 298.87 calories divided by 25.0 degrees centigrade is equal to 11.95 calories divided by the 35.2 gram sample weight to get the calories per gram per degree centigrade would come to 0.3396 calories/gram degree centigrade. Presumably this, if correct, could be used to obtain the metal in question by consulting a chart or table with specific heats of various metals because they should always be the same specific heat for each metal.
