Answer:

(i)  Oxidizing Agent: NO2 / Reducing Agent NH3-

(ii) Oxidizing Agent AgNO3 / Reducing Agent Zn

Explanation:

(i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l)

In this reaction, both two reactants contain nitrogen with a different oxidation number and produce only one product which contains nitrogen with a unique oxidation state. So, nitrogen is oxidized and reduced in the same reaction.

Nitrogen Undergoes a change in oxidation state from 4+ in NO2 to 0 in N2. It is reduced because it gains electrons (decrease its oxidation state). NO2 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor).

Nitrogen Changes from an oxidation state of 3- in NH3 to 0 in N2. It is oxidized because it loses electrons (increase its oxidation state). NH3 is the reducing agent (electron donor)

(ii) Zn(s) +AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

Ag changes oxidation state from 1+ to 0 in Ag(s).

Ag is reduced because it gains electrons and for this reason and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor)

Zn Changes from an oxidation state of 0 in Zn(s) to 2+ in Zn(NO3)2. It is oxidized and for this reason Zn is the reducing agent (electron donor).

Balanced equation:

Zn(s) +2AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

At equilibrium at 2500K, [HCl]=0.0625M and [H2]=[Cl2]=0.00450M for the reaction H2+Cl2 ⇌ HCl.
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a. H_2+Cl_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HCl

b. K = 192.9

c. Products are favored.

Explanation:

Hello!

a. In this case, according to the unbalanced chemical reaction we need to balance HCl as shown below:

H_2+Cl_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HCl

In order to reach 2 hydrogen and chlorine atoms at both sides.

b. Here, given the concentrations at equilibrium and the following equilibrium expression, we have:

K=\frac{[HCl]^2}{[H_2][Cl_2]}

Therefore, we plug in the data to obtain:

K=\frac{(0.0625)^2}{(0.00450)(0.00450)}\\\\K=192.9

c. Finally, we infer that since K>>1 the forward reaction towards products is favored.

Best regards!

What is the molarity of a naoh solution if 39.1 ml of a 0.112 m h2so4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-ml sample of the
aleksandrvk [35]
The reaction between NaOH and H₂SO₄ is as follows;
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry  of base to acid is 2:1
NaOH is a strong acid and H₂SO₄ is a strong acid, therefore complete ionization into their respective ions takes place.
number of acid moles reacted - 0.112 M / 1000 mL/L x 39.1 mL = 0.0044 mol
the number of base moles required for neutralisation = 0.0044 x 2 = 0.0088 mol
Number of NaOH moles in 25.0 mL - 0.0088 mol
Therefore in 1000 mL  - 0.0088 mol/ 25.0 mL x 1000 mL/L = 0.352 mol/L
Therefore molarity of NaOH - 0.352 M
