Answer:

Fe2+ (aq) + 2e -> Fe(s)

Explanation:

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reaction:

Mg(s) + Fe2+ (aq) —>Mg2+ (aq) + Fe(s)

Magnesium loses its two valance electrons and oxidized while iron accept two electrons get reduced.

Magnesium is reducing agent while iron is oxidizing agent.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

The dissociation of sulfurous acid (H2SO3) in aqueous solution occurs as follows:

aksik [14]

Answer:

The [SO₃²⁻]

Explanation:

From the first dissociation of sulfurous acid we have:

H₂SO₃(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + HSO₃⁻(aq)

At equilibrium: 0.50M - x x x

The equilibrium constant (Ka₁) is:

$K_{a1} = \frac{[H^{+}] [HSO_{3}^{-}]}{[H_{2}SO_{3}]} = \frac{x\cdot x}{0.5 - x} = \frac {x^{2}}{0.5 -x}$

With Ka₁= 1.5x10⁻² and solving the quadratic equation, we get the following HSO₃⁻ and H⁺ concentrations:

$[HSO_{3}^{-}] = [H^{+}] = 7.94 \cdot 10^{-2}M$

Similarly, from the second dissociation of sulfurous acid we have:

HSO₃⁻(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq)

At equilibrium: 7.94x10⁻²M - x x x

The equilibrium constant (Ka₂) is:

$K_{a2} = \frac{[H^{+}] [SO_{3}^{2-}]}{[HSO_{3}^{-}]} = \frac{x^{2}}{7.94 \cdot 10^{-2} - x}$

Using Ka₂= 6.3x10⁻⁸ and solving the quadratic equation, we get the following SO₃⁻ and H⁺ concentrations:

$[SO_{3}^{2-}] = [H^{+}] = 7.07 \cdot 10^{-5}M$

Therefore, the final concentrations are:

[H₂SO₃] = 0.5M - 7.94x10⁻²M = 0.42M

[HSO₃⁻] = 7.94x10⁻²M - 7.07x10⁻⁵M = 7.93x10⁻²M

[SO₃²⁻] = 7.07x10⁻⁵M

[H⁺] = 7.94x10⁻²M + 7.07x10⁻⁵M = 7.95x10⁻²M

So, the lowest concentration at equilibrium is [SO₃²⁻] = 7.07x10⁻⁵M.

Engineers are developing a process to produce phosphorus pentachloride.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Options B and C are the two criteria that are most essential

Explanation:

When trying to develop a novel process, <u>it is important that the new process involves the use of equipment that can be operated safely by workers so as to prevent death or injury in the cause of handling this equipment</u>. If this equipment is seen not to be safe or cannot be handled safely by workers, it can/will force workers to previous or alternative methods that require more safe equipment.

Also, the process must be able to maximize the most of the reactants, i.e <u>the process must be able to convert a good percentage of the reactants into the desired product (phosphorus pentachloride) since that is the focus</u>. This will also lead to reduction of byproducts produced which could be useful or otherwise (a loss).

Arrange the procedural steps, from start to finish, that are required to prepare indigo from nitrobenzaldehyde and acetone in ba

lions [1.4K]

Acetone has α-hydrogens (on both sides) and thus can be deprotonated to give a nucleophilic enolate anion. The aldehyde carbonyl is much more electrophilic than that of a ketone, and therefore reacts rapidly with the enolate.

<h3>What is nitrobenzaldehyde?</h3>

Synthesis. The synthesis of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde is achieved via nitration of benzaldehyde, which yields especially the meta-isomer. Creation allocation is about 19% for the ortho-, 72% for the meta- and 9% for the para isomers.

Acetone, propanone, or dimethyl ketone, is an organic combination with the formula (CH3)2CO. It is the easiest and smallest ketone. It is a colorless, highly volatile, and combustible liquid with a characteristic aromatic odor.

Nitration of benzene with conc nitric acid and conc sulphuric acid gives nitrobenzene. Chlorination with chlorine in the existence of anhydrous aluminum chloride gives meta nitro chlorobenzene.
