In a chemical reaction, the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants is equal to the heat of the reaction<span>. This is, the net energy released or absorbed (change) during a chemical reaction is the sum of the potential energy of the products less the sum of the potential energy of the reactants.</span>
Answer:
N2H2(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) ----------> N2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 2e
Explanation:
Hydrazine is mostly used in thermal engineering as an anticorrosive agent. Hydrazine can be oxidized in aqueous solution as shown in the equation above. Oxidation has to do with loss of electrons and increase in oxidation number.
The oxidation number of nitrogen in the equation increased from -1 in hydrazine on the lefthand side of the reaction equation to zero in nitrogen on the right hand side of the reaction equation. Two electrons were lost in the process as shown.
Answer:
A base that forms K⁺ and OH⁻ ions.
Explanation:
The KOH is an Arrhenius base.
A is <em>wrong</em>. A base does not form H⁺ ions.
B is <em>wrong</em>. A metal hydroxide forms K⁺ ions, not KO⁻ ions.
D is <em>wrong</em>. The metal forms K⁺ ions, KO⁻ ions.
