What makes balancing redox reactions different from balancing other reactions?

Chemistry

Redox reactions are those <u>chemical reactions that involve the transfer of electrons between reactants</u>, altering the <em>oxidation state</em> of their elements.

In this type of reactions an element releases electrons that another element accepts, so there is a net transfer of charge.

When balancing redox reactions, not only must the chemical elements in the reactants and products be equalized (by the <em>law of conservation of the mass</em>), but also the charged that is transferred in the process must be balanced, since <u>the electrons that are lost in oxidation are the same as those that are gained in reduction (</u><em>law of conservation of charge:</em> <em>there is no destruction or net creation of electric charge</em>).

The size (radius) of an oxygen molecule is about 2.0 ×10−10m. Make a rough estimate of the pressure at which the finite volume o
belka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can calculate the volume  of the oxygen molecule as the radius of oxygen molecule is given as 2×10⁻¹⁰m.

We know that volume=4/3×πr³

volume =4/3×π(2.0×10⁻¹⁰m)³

volume=33.40×10⁻³⁰m³

Volume of oxygen molecule=33.40×10⁻³⁰m³

we know the ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

k=R/Na

R=k×Na

PV=n×k×Na×T

n×Na=N

PV=Nkt

p is pressure of gas

v is volume  of gas

T is temperature of gas

N is numbetr of molecules

Na is avagadros number

k is boltzmann constant =1.38×10⁻²³J/K

R is real gas constant

So to calculate pressure using the  formula;

PV=NkT

P=NkT/V

Since there is only one molecule of oxygen so N=1

P=[1×1.38×10⁻²³J/K×300]/[33.40×10⁻³⁰m³

p=12.39×10⁷Pascal
