Which half-reaction is most easily oxidized?

Chemistry
2 answers:
STALIN [3.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

The half-reaction Na⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Na with E°=-2.71 V is most easily oxidized.

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reactions or redox reactions are those in which an electron transfer occurs between the reagents. An electron transfer implies that there is a change in the number of oxidation between the reagents and the products.

The gain of electrons is called reduction and the loss of electrons oxidation. That is to say, there is oxidation whenever an atom or group of atoms loses electrons (or increases its positive charges) and in the reduction an atom or group of atoms gains electrons, increasing its negative charges or decreasing the positive ones.

The species that supplies electrons is the reducing agent (that is, it is that species that oxidizes, yielding electrons and increasing its positive charge, or decreasing the negative one causing the reduction of the other species) and the one that gains them is the oxidizing agent ( that is, it is that species that is reduced, capturing electrons and increasing its negative charge, or decreasing its positive charge, causing oxidation of the other species).

Electron donors are called reducers; Electron acceptors are called oxidants.

The potential for reduction is the tendency of chemical species in a redox reaction to acquire electrons, that is, it has a tendency to reduce. The potential is a physical quantity that, in the International System, is measured in volts (V). Reference is made to hydrogen, which is assigned a potential equal to zero.  The reduction potentials are generally evaluated under standard conditions, this is at a concentration of 1 M in the case of solutes in solution and 1 atm for gases.

Then, the semi-reaction that has the greatest potential for reduction will be the one to reduce.

And the semi-reaction that has the lowest potential for reduction will be the one that oxidizes.

Finally, <em><u>the half-reaction Na⁺ + e⁻ ⇒ Na with E°=-2.71 V is most easily oxidized.</u></em>

How many moles of ammonium sulfate can be from the reaction of 30.0 mol of NH3 with H2SO4 according to the following equation: 2
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

15 moles of  ammonium sulfate would be formed from 30 moles of ammonia.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of ammonium sulfate formed = ?

Number of moles of ammonia = 30.0 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2NH₃  +   H₂SO₄  →  (NH₄)₂SO₄

Now we will compare the moles of ammonium sulfate with ammonia.

                           NH₃           :           (NH₄)₂SO₄

                             2              :               1

                            30.0          :              1/2×30.0 = 15.0 mol

So 15 moles of  ammonium sulfate would be formed from 30 moles of ammonia.

MrMuchimi

Answer is C – Unsaturated fat.

Fats are large molecules basically made from a combination of glycerol and three chains of fatty acids. Usually fats consist of C, H and O. According to the C – C bond, there are two types of fats as saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats have only C – C single bonds and all C atoms are sp³ hybridized atoms. But in unsaturated fats other than C – C single bonds there are C – C double bonds. Hence, both sp³ and sp² hybridized C atoms can be seen.
