pickupchik [31]3 years ago
6 0
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is the option A which is: Cl2 + 2e- → 2Cl-

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<em><u>Reduction is the gain of electrons and resulting in neutral or negative ions.</u></em>

<em><u>It is also the gain of hydrogen and release of oxygen ions.</u></em>

  • According to first most definition, option A describes the reduction.
  • Option B is incomplete reaction.
  • While C and D are oxidation reactions.

The decomposition of nitrogen dioxide is described by the following chemical equation:
kow [346]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation will be "NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}".

Explanation:

The given equation is:

2NO_{2}\rightarrow 2NO+O_{2}

<u>Step 1:</u>

<u></u>2NO_{2}\rightarrow NO+O...(equation 1)

<u>Step 2:</u>

<u></u>NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}...(equation 2)

On adding "equation 1" and "equation 2", we get

⇒  NO_{2}+NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O+NO+O_{2}

⇒  2NO_{2}\rightarrow 2NO+O_{2}

The second step:

⇒  NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}

Plot your values of ln(Ksp) vs. 1/T and find the slope and y-intercept of the best fit line. Use the equation for the best fit l
labwork [276]

Answer:

a) The slope of the line of best fit plot = -12629.507

b) ΔH∘ = 105 kJ

c) Intercept of the line of best fit plot = 39.099

d) ΔS∘ = 325.1 J/K

e) Option A is correct.

Solubility will increase as temperature increases, because as T increases the (−ΔH∘/RT) term becomes smaller therefore K will get larger.

f) Option D is correct. All of the options are correct.

Explanation:

The complete question is presented in the first attached image to this question. This complete question has the data readings required to plot the graph.

The second attached image has the plotted graph and the regression analysis to obtain the line of best fit.

The equation of the line of best fit obtained is

y = -12629.507x + 39.099

Comparing the given expression for the question with the equation of a straight line

ln (K) = (−ΔH∘/RT) + (ΔS∘/R)

y = mx + c

y = In K

Slope = m = (−ΔH∘/R)

x = (1/T)

Intercept = c = (ΔS∘/R)

So, to answer the question now

a) The slope of the line of best fit plot = -12629.507

b) Slope = (−ΔH∘/R)

(−ΔH∘/R) = -12629.507

But R = molar gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

ΔH∘ = 12629.507 × 8.314 = 105,001.721198 J = 105,002 J = 105 kJ

c) Intercept of the line of best fit plot = 39.099

d) Intercept = (ΔS∘/R)

(ΔS∘/R) = 39.099

ΔS∘ = 39.099 × 8.314 = 325.069086 J/K = 325.1 J/K

e) Do you expect the solubility of Borax to increase or decrease as temperature increases?

Solubility will increase as temperature increases, because as T increases the (−ΔH∘/RT) term becomes smaller therefore K will get larger.

f) Why was it necessary to make sure that some solid was present in the main solution before taking the samples to measure Ksp? Select the option that best explains why.

A. To make sure no more sodium borate would dissolve in solution.

B. To ensure the dissolution process was at equilibrium.

C. To make sure the solution was saturated with sodium and borate ions.

D. All of the above

Hope this Helps!!!

FrozenT [24]
A colloid has the particles that have the ability to scatter light called the Tyndall effect named after the scientist named Tyndall. A suspension has large suspended particles that settle out at the bottom of the container. A solution has small particles that are evenly distributed throughout. Hence the answer is choice 2.
