Balance the following equation in acidic conditions. phases are optional.

1 answer:

4 0

This is an oxidation reduction reaction
oxidation happens when the species gives out electrons.Oxidation state of the element Cu increases from 0 to +2
Cu ---> Cu²⁺ +2e --1)
Reduction happens when the species gains electrons.
Oxidation state of N reduces from +5 to +2
4H⁺ + NO₃⁻ + 3e ---> NO + 2H₂O --2)
To balance the reactions, number of electrons need to be balanced.
Multiply 1st reaction by 3
Multiply 2nd reaction by 2
3Cu ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 6e
8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ + 6e ---> 2NO + 4H₂O
add the 2 equations
3Cu + 8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ --> 3Cu²⁺ + 2NO + 4H₂O
add 6NO₃⁻ ions to each side
3Cu + 8HNO₃ --> 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O
the balanced redox reaction equation is as follows;

3Cu(s) + 8HNO₃(aq) --> 3Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq)+ 2NO(g) + 4H₂O(l)

An endergonic reaction with a Δh and Δs can be changed into an exergonic reaction.

zheka24 [161]

Full question:

This question is incomplete, here it is completed:

An endergonic reaction with a ______ ∆H and a ______ ∆S can be changed into an exergonic reaction by decreasing the temperature.

Option A: negative, positive

Option B: negative, negative

Option C: positive, positive

Option D: positive, negative

Answer:

Option B: negative, negative

Explanation:

The change in free energy (ΔG) of a system for a constant-temperature process is

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

free energy is the energy available to do work. Thus, if a particular reaction is accompanied by a release of usable energy (that is, ΔG is negative), it is said to be exergonic. On the other hand, if a reaction consumes energy (that is, ΔG is positive), it is said to be endergonic.

Looking at the equation, we can see that if ΔH is negative and ΔS is negative, then ΔG will be negative only when TΔS is smaller in magnitude than ΔH. This condition is met when T is small.

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

- -

This means that the reaction proceeds spontaneously at low temperatures. At high temperatures, the reverse reaction becomes spontaneous. An example of that would be the following reaction:

NH₃(g) + HCl(g) → NH₄Cl(s)
