Balance the following half reaction in basic conditions. Then, indicate the coefficients for H2O and OH– for the balanced half r

Ugo [173]

Answer:

The ballance half reactions are:

Mg²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Mg

6OH⁻ + Si → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

Coefficients for H2O and OH– are 3 for H₂O (in products side) and 6 for OH⁻ (in reactants side)

Explanation:

Si (s) + Mg(OH)₂ (s) → Mg (s) + SiO₃²⁻ (aq)

Let's see the oxidations number.

As any element in ground state, we know that oxidation state is 0, so Si in reactants and Mg in products, have 0.

Mg in reactants, acts with +2, so the oxidation number has decreased.

This is the reduction, so it has gained electrons.

Si in reactants acts with 0 so in products we find it with +4. The oxidation number increased it, so this is oxidation. The element has lost electrons.

Let's take a look to half reactions:

Mg²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Mg

Si → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻

In basic medium, we have to add water, as the same amount of oxygen we have, IN THE SAME SIDE. We have 3 oxygens in products, so we add 3 H₂O and in the opposite site we can add OH⁻, to balance the hydrogen. The half reaciton will be:

6OH⁻ + Si → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

If we want to ballance the main reaction we have to multiply (x2) the half reaction of oxidation. So the electrons can be ballanced.

2Mg²⁺ + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

Now, that they are ballanced we can sum the half reactions:

2Mg²⁺ + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

6OH⁻ + Si → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

2Mg²⁺ + 4e⁻ + 6OH⁻ + Si → 2Mg + SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!! CHEMISTRY QUESTION: If 38 g of Li3P and 15 grams of Al2O3 are reacted, what total mass of products will r

maksim [4K]

Answer:

21.5 g.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between the given compounds is:

$2Li_3P+Al_2O_3\rightarrow 3Li_2O+2AlP$

We can see that according to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction, the total mass of products equals the total mass of reactants based on the stoichiometric proportions; in such a way, we first need to compute the reacted moles of Li3P as shown below:

$n_{Li_3P}^{reacted}=38gLi_3P*\frac{1molLi_3P}{51.8gLi_3P}=0.73molLi_3P$

Now, the moles of Li3P consumed by 15 g of Al2O3:

$n_{Li_3P}^{consumed \ by \ Al_2O_3}=15gAl_2O_3*\frac{1molAl_2O_3}{101.96gAl_2O_3} *\frac{2molLi_3P}{1molAl_2O_3} =0.29molLi_3P$

Thus, we infer that just 0.29 moles of 0.73 react to form products; which means that the mass of formed products is:

$m_{Li_2O}=0.29molLi_3P*\frac{3molLi_2O}{2molLi_3P} *\frac{29.88gLi_2O}{1molLi_2O} =13gLi_2O\\\\m_{AlP}=0.29molLi_3P*\frac{2molAlP}{2molLi_3P} *\frac{57.95gAlP}{1molAlP} =8.5gAlP$

Therefore, the total mass of products is:

$m_{products}=13g+8.5g\\\\m_{products}=21.5g$

Which is not the same to the reactants (53 g) because there is an excess of Li₃P.

Best Regards!

A solution contains 0.140 mol KCl in 2.100 L water. What is the concentration of KCl in g/L?

viva [34]

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

≈ 4.95 g/L

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The molar mass of KCl = 74.5 g/mole

Therefore; 0.140 moles will be equivalent to ;

= 0.140 moles × 74.5 g/mole

= 10.43 g

Concentration in g/L

= mass in g/volume in L

= 10.43/2.1

= 4.9667

1. What are the two effects of the continental plate/continental plate convergent boundary?

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Answer 1: The correct answer is b. convergent continental-continental boundary.

A convergent continental-continental boundary refers to a convergent plate boundary where two continental plates meet or come together. When this happens, a forceful collision occurs, and structures like mountains start to form. The Himalaya mountain range is formed as a result of the convergence of the Indian and Eurasian continental plates.

Answer 2: The correct answer is d. convergent oceanic-oceanic boundary.

Volcanic island arcs refers to a curved line of volcanoes formed from the subduction (sinking) of one oceanic plate below another plate. Examples of volcanic island arcs include Japanese Islands and Alaskan Islands
