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.

Consider the reaction of magnesium metal with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. If 3.56 mol of m
pishuonlain [190]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

43.27 g Mg

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The balanced equation for the reaction between magnesium metal and hydrochloric acid is;

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) → MgCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

From the equation;

1 mole of magnesium reacts with 2 moles of HCl

We are given;

3.56 moles of Mg and 3.56 moles of HCl

Using the mole ratio;

3.56 moles of Mg would react with 7.12 moles of HCl, and

3.56 moles of HCl would react with 1.78 moles of Mg

Therefore;

The amount of magnesium was in excess;

Moles of Mg left = 3.56 moles - 1.78 moles

                         = 1.78 moles

But; 1 mole of Mg = 24.305 g/mol

Therefore;

Mass of magnesium left = 1.78 moles × 24.305 g/mol

                                        = 43.2629 g

                                        = 43.27 g

Thus, the mass of magnesium that remained after the reaction is 43.27 g

A generic gas, X , is placed in a sealed glass jar and decomposes to form gaseous Y and solid Z . 2 X ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − Y ( g ) + Z
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The equilibrium will go right, increasing the quantities of Y(g) and Z(s), when the amount of X(g) increases.

Explanation:

Equilibrium is a state in which the velocity of the formation of the products is equal to the velocity of the formation of the reactants. Thus, the concentrations remain constant.

By Le Chatêlier's principle, when the equilibrium is disturbed, the equilibrium must shift to reestablish the equilibrium. Thus, when X is put in the container, it intends to decompose and form Y and Z, thus, as higher is the initial X, as higher is the Y and Z formed.

Which liquid, water or alcohol, has stronger intermolecular forces? Explain
blagie [28]

Answer:

Water

Explanation:

Water had the strongest intermolecular forces and evaporated most slowly. ... Water evaporates most slowly because its molecules are attracted to one another by hydrogen bonding.

A chef in restaurant baking 2 different desserts in the oven . He removes a pumpkin and some chocolate chip cookies at the same
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

the air molecules from the cookies diffused faster than the air molecules from the pumpkin

Explanation:

The smell of cookies reaches first because the air molecules from the cookies were able to diffuse faster than the air molecules from the pumpkin.

<em>At constant temperature, the diffusion rates of two molecules would be dependent on the size of the molecules. The bigger the size of the molecule, the more time it will take for the molecule to diffuse and vice versa. </em>

Thus, <u>since the pumpkin and the cookies were baked at the same temperature, the smell of the cookies was perceived first because the air molecules of the cookies are smaller in size than the air molecules of the pumpkin.</u>
