Answer:
A single compound is simultaneously oxidized and reduced.
Explanation:
In chemistry, disproportionation is a simultaneous oxidation and reduction of a single chemical specie.
What this means is that; in a disproportionation reaction, only one compound is both oxidized and reduced. This implies that two products are formed during disproportionation. One is the oxidized product while the other is the reduced product.
Consider the disproportionation of CuCl shown below;
2CuCl -----> CuCl2 + Cu
Here, CuCl2 is the oxidized product while Cu is the reduced product.
In chemical reactions, the actual yield is not the same as the expected yield . Actual yield is lower than the theoretical yield . Then we have to find the yield percentage. To see what percentage of the theoretical yield is the actual yield.
Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100%
Percent yield = 24.6/55.9 x100%
Percent yield = 44%
Number 4 is
-Oxidation occurs at the anode, while reduction occurs at the cathode. Recharging a battery involves the conversion of electrical energy to chemical energy. During recharging, there is movement of electrons from an external power source to the anode, and on the other side electrons are removed from the cathode.
The value of the activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction is greater than that of a catalyzed reaction. As we know, a catalyst provides an alternative path for the reaction to happen at a faster rate. So, for a catalyzed reactio, activation energy is lesser than the original path.
