3. Balance each of the following redox reactions in the listed aqueous environment. (4 pts each, 8 pts total) Crs)NO3 (a) Cr (a)

GrogVix [38]

Explanation:

(a) The given reaction equation is as follows.

$Cr(s) + NO^{-}_{3}(aq) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + NO(g)$ (acidic)

So, here the reduction and oxidation-half reactions will be as follows.

Oxidation-half reaction: $Cr(s) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-}$

Reduction-half-reaction: $NO^{-}_{3} + 3e^{-}(aq) \rightarrow NO(g)$

As total charge present on reactant side is -1 and total charge present on product side is +3. And, since it is present in aqueous medium. Hence, we will balance the charge for this reaction equation as follows.

$Cr(s) + NO^{-}_{3}(aq) + 4H^{+}(aq) \rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq) + NO(g) + 2H_{2}O(l)$ (acidic)

(b) The given reaction equation is as follows.

$HCO^{-}_{3}(aq) + Ag(s) + NH_{3}(aq) \rightarrow H_{2}CO(aq) + Ag(NH_{3})^{+}_{2}(aq)$ (basic)

So, here the reduction and oxidation-half reactions will be as follows.

Reduction-half reaction: $HCO^{-}_{3}(aq) + 4e^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}CO(aq)$

Oxidation-half reaction: $Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag(NH_{3})^{+}_{2}(aq) + 1e^{-}$

Hence, to balance the number of electrons in this equation we multiply it by 4 as follows.

$4Ag(s) \rightarrow 4Ag(NH_{3})^{+}_{2}(aq) + 4e^{-}$

Therefore, balancing the whole reaction equation in the basic medium as follows.

$H_{2}CO(aq) + 4Ag(NH_{3})^{+}_{2}(aq) + 5OH^{-}(aq) \rightarrow HCO^{-}_{3}(aq) + 4Ag(s) + 8NH_{3}(aq) + 3H_{2}O(l)$

Based on the information, what is the balanced chemical equation representing the burning of butane?

kompoz [17]

Answer:

OptionA. 2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H20

Explanation:

Butane burns is air (O2) according to the equation:

C4H10 + O2 —> CO2 + H20

Considering the equation, it is evident that it not balanced. Now let us balance the equation as shown below;

There are a total of 4 carbon atoms on the left and 1 carbon atom on the right. It can be balanced by putting 4 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C4H10 + O2 —> 4CO2 + H20

Next, there are 10 hydrogen atoms on the left and 2 hydrogen atoms on the right. Therefore to balance it, put 5 in front of H2O as shown below:

C4H10 + O2 —> 4CO2 + 5H20

Now, there are a total of 13 oxygen atoms on the right and 2 at the left. To balance it, put 13/2 in front of O2

as shown below

C4H10 + 13/2O2 —> 4CO2 + 5H20

Now we multiply through by 2 clear off the fraction and we obtained:

2C4H10 + 13O2 —> 8CO2 + 10H20

Buffer systems present in blood help in maintaining the neutral pH of blood. Which is the most important buffer system present i

Alona [7]

The correct option is B.

A buffer refers to an aqueous solution which resist changes in pH when acids or bases are added to it. Also addition or removal of water from a buffer system does not change the pH of the system significantly. Buffers typically are made up of pairs of weak acid and their conjugate base or pairs of weak base and their conjugate acids. Maintaining the ideal pH is very important in living organisms, blood buffers help living organisms to maintain constant blood pH.
