<span>Hydrogen atoms accompany electrons as they are transferred in biological systems in order to ensure that the metabolism proceeds to completion.
This is considered the main purpose of the electron shuttles.

1 What characteristic of an element determines how its atoms can bond with other<br> atoms?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

The electrons of the outermost energy level determine the energetic stability of the atom and its tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms to form molecules. Under standard conditions, atoms fill the inner shells first, often resulting in a variable number of electrons in the outermost shell.

Determine which of the following pairs of reactants will result in a spontaneous reaction at 25°C. None of the above pairs will
Alla [95]

Answer:

Only Fe^{3+}+Mg gives spontaneous reaction.

Explanation:

A redox reaction will be spontaneous if standard reduction potential (E^{0}) of the reaction is positive. Because it leads to negative standard gibbs free energy change (\Delta G^{0}), which is a thermodynamic condition for spontaneity of a reaction.

E^{0}=E^{0}(reduction)-E^{0}(oxidation)

Where E^{0}(reduction) and E^{0}(oxidation) represents standard reduction potential of reduction half cell and standard reduction potential of oxidation half cell.

(1) Oxidation:         Mg-2e^{-}\rightarrow Mg^{2+} ;  E_{Mg^{2+}\mid Mg}^{0}=-2.38V

Reduction:         Fe^{3+}+3e^{-}\rightarrow Fe ; E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe}^{0}=-0.04V

So, E^{0}=E_{Fe^{3+}\mid Fe}^{0}-E_{Mg^{2+}\mid Mg}^{0}=(-0.04+2.38)V=2.34V

Hence this pair will give spontaneous reaction.

(2) Similarly as above, E^{0}=E_{Pb^{2+}\mid Pb}^{0}-E_{Au^{+}\mid Au}^{0}=(-0.13-1.69)V=-1.82 V

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

(3) Similarly as above, E^{0}=E_{Ag^{+}\mid Ag}^{0}-E_{Br_{2}\mid Br^{-}}^{0}=(0.80-1.07)V=-0.27 V

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.

(4)  Similarly as above, E^{0}=E_{Li^{+}\mid Li}^{0}-E_{Cr^{3+}\mid Cr}^{0}=(-3.04+0.74)V=-2.30 V

Hence this pair will give non-spontaneous reaction.
