Write a balanced half-reaction describing the reduction of gaseous dichlorine to aqueous chloride anions.
1 answer:
Answer:-
Explanations:- In reduction the electrons are accepted and so they are written on the reactant side. When an atom accepts electrons then it forms anion. Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and it needs one more electron to complete it's octet. Since, dichlorine has two Cl atoms and each Cl atom needs one more electron to complete it's octet, two electrons are accepted by dichorine to make aqueous chloride ion. For balancing the equation, there would be two chloride ions as the reactant side has two chlorine atoms.

Answer : The mass of the water in two significant figures is,
Explanation :
In this case the heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.
where,
= specific heat of iron metal =
= specific heat of water =
= mass of iron metal = 32.3 g
= mass of water = ?
= final temperature of mixture =
= initial temperature of iron metal =
= initial temperature of water =
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get
Therefore, the mass of the water in two significant figures is,
