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)

How many moles of chromium III nitrate are produced When chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of lead for nitrate to produce chromium

Pepsi [2]

0.85 moles formula units of lead nitrate will produce 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Typically, the oxidation state of Pb in lead nitrate tend to be +2. In other words, Pb in lead nitrate tends to exist as $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ions. The formula for a nitrate ion is ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ . The charge on each of the nitrate ion is -1. The charge on the two ions should balance. As a result, each $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ion in lead nitrate would pair up with two ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. The formula for lead nitrate will be $\text{Pb}({\text{NO}_3})_2$ . Each formula unit of lead nitrate will contain one $\text{Pb}^{2+}$ ion and two ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions.

The "III" in the name "chromium (III) nitrate" is a Roman Numeral. It indicates that the oxidation state of Cr in chromium (III) nitrate is +3. The Cr in that compound will exist as $\text{Cr}^{3+}$ . Similarly, each $\text{Cr}^{3+}$ will pair up with three ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. The formula for chromium (III) nitrate will be $\text{Cr}(\text{NO}_3})_3$ . Each formula unit of chromium (III) nitrate will contain one ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ion and three ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions.

0.85 moles formula units of lead nitrate will contain 0.85 × 2 = 1.7 moles of ${\text{NO}_3}^{-}$ ions. Those nitrate ions will end up in 1.7 / 3 = 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate. As a result, the reaction will produce 0.57 moles formula units of chromium (III) nitrate.

The following reaction is exothermic. C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)⇌6CO2(g)+6H2O(g)C6H12O6(s)+6O2(g)⇌6CO2(g)+6H2O(g) Predict the effect (shi

Answer:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the reaction temperature of an exothermic reaction causes a shift to the left and decreasing the reaction temperature causes a shift to the right.

Explanation:

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) ⇌6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)

We are told that the forward reaction is exothermic, meaning heat is removed from the reacting substance to the surroundings.

According to Le Chatelier's principle,

1. for an exothermic reaction, on increasing the temperature, there is a shift in equilibrium to the left and formation of the product is favoured.

2. if the temperature of the system is decreased, the equilibrium shifts to right and the formation of the reactants is favoured.

3. if the reaction temperature is kept constant, the system is at equilibrium and there is no shift to the right nor to the left.
