Answer:
Explanation:
The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
In given example,
Magnesium is able to <u>reduced</u> the copper and copper is able to <u>oxidized</u> the magnesium.
Zinc is able to <u>oxidized</u> the magnesium and magnesium is able to <u>reduced</u> the zinc.
Copper is able to <u>oxidized</u> the zinc and zinc is able to <u>reduced</u> the copper.
Answer:
0.48 V
Explanation:
Zn(s) ------------> Zn^2+(aq) + 2e. Oxidation half equation (-0.76V)
Co^2+(aq) + 2e-----------> Co(s). Reduction half equation (-0.28)
Zn(s) + Co^2+(aq) -------------> Zn^2+(aq) + Co(s) overall redox equation
Zinc is the anode while cobalt is the cathode.
E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode
E°cell= -0.28-(-0.76)= 0.48 V
Answer:
The correct statement is:
E - The entropy of the products is greater than the entropy of the reactants.
Explanation:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
As glucose is a large molecule and then it is transformed into many molecules of water and carbon dioxide, the entropy of the system increases. If the number of molecules increases, the disorder increases.
Initial state: 7 molecules (1 glucose + 6 oxygen)
Final state: 12 molecules (6 carbon dioxide + 6 water)
Answer:
A) Energy is needed to start photosynthesis and is a product of cellular respiration.
