What makes balancing redox reactions different from balancing other reactions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sergejj [24]4 years ago
6 0

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>).

Filtration of wastewater flowing over a surface of land with vegetation and water is a
NISA [10]

Filtration of wastewater flowing over a surface of land with vegetation and

water is a biodegradable treatment.

Biodegradable substances are those which can be recycled for other uses

such as manure etc. The filtration of the waste water helps to remove

organic materials and pathogens present in it. The organic materials

removed can then be used for other purposes.

The pathogens are then destroyed to prevent the spread of diseases within

the area. The explanation makes biodegradable treatment most appropriate.

What pressure is exerted by 0.750 mol of a gas at 0 °C and a volume of 5
kow [346]

Answer: 3.4 atm

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of gas V = 5L

(since 1 liter = 1dm3

5L = 5dm3)

Temperature T = 0°C

Convert Celsius to Kelvin

(0°C + 273 = 273K)

Pressure P = ?

Number of moles of gas n = 0.75 moles

Note that Molar gas constant R is a constant with a value of 0.0821 atm dm3 K-1 mol-1

Then, apply ideal gas equation

pV = nRT

p x 5dm3 = 0.75 moles x (0.0821 atm dm3 K-1 mol-1 x 273K)

p x 5dm3 = 16.8 atm dm3

p = (16.8 atm dm3 / 5dm3)

p = 3.4 atm

Thus, a pressure of 3.4 atm is exerted by the gas.

If an object has a density of 0.55 g/mL, what is its density in cg/L?
expeople1 [14]

"cg" is centigram, which is one-hundredth of a gram.

I will first convert from g to cg (multiply by 100), then from mL to L (multiply by 1000).

\frac{0.55g}{mL}*\frac{100cg}{1g}*\frac{1000mL}{1L}=55,000\frac{cg}{L} \ or \ 5.5e4\frac{cg}{L}

Mixed Practice:
Afina-wow [57]

Given

Mass of NO - 824 g

Molar mass of NO - 30.01g/mol

No of moles of NO = Given mass/Molar mass

No of moles of NO = 824/30.01= 27.45 mole

Hence 27.5 moles of NO are formed!
