Reduction half reaction: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu⁰(s).


Oxidation half reaction: NO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → NO₃⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.  

Balanced chemical reaction:

Cu²⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → Cu(s) + NO₃⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq).

Copper is reduced from oxidation number +2 (Cu²⁺) to oxidation number 0 (Cu) and nitrogen is oxidized from oxidation number +3 (in NO₂⁻) to oxidation number +5 (in NO₃⁻).

Answer:

Cu²⁺(aq) + 3NO₂⁻(aq) ⇄ Cu⁰(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)

Explanation:

A redox reaction is a reaction that occurs with oxidation and a reduction. The compound or the element that oxides are called reducted agent because it promotes the reduction of the other one. The compound or the element that reduces is called the oxidation agent, for the same reason.

In the oxidation, the substance increases its oxidation number: it loses electrons. The opposite occurs in reduction: there is a decrease in the oxidation number and the substance gain electrons.

So, the oxidation reaction is:

NO₂⁻(aq) ⇄ NO₃⁻(aq) + 2e⁻

And the reduction:

Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ Cu⁰(aq)

Note that in the first one, the oxidation number of O is always -2, and the oxidation number of N was from +3 to +5.

The balanced reaction will be:

Cu²⁺(aq) + 3NO₂⁻(aq) ⇄ Cu⁰(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)

The number of atoms of an element must be the same on each side of the equation.

Hello,
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a)\ 2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3\\b)\ Decomposition\ Reaction

Explanation:

<em>Ferrous Sulphate</em>(FeSO4)<em> is generally found as Lime-Green Crystals. On heating, these crystals almost immediately turn white-yellow. They then, break down to produce an anhydrous mixture of Sulphur Trioxide </em>(SO_3)<em>, Sulphur Dioxide </em>(SO_2)<em>  as well as Ferric Oxide </em>(Fe_2O_3)<em>.</em>

<em>We can hence, frame a skeletal equation of this reaction and try to balance it.</em>

<em>Hence,</em>

FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3

<em>Now,</em>

<em>a)In order to balance it through the 'Hit &Trial Method', we'll follow a series of </em><em>steps</em><em>:</em>

<em>1. First, lets compare the number of  Fe (Iron) atoms on the RHS and LHS. We find that, the no. of Fe Atoms on the RHS is twice the number of Fe Atoms on the LHS. We hence, add a co-effecient 2 beside </em>FeSO_4.

<em>2. Now, Iron atoms, Sulphur Atoms and Oxygen atoms occur 2, 2, 8 respectively on both the sides:</em>

<em> Hence, As all the other elements as well as iron, balance, we've arrived upon our Balanced Equation :</em>

<em> </em>2FeSO4 \xrightarrow{\text{Heat}} SO_3+SO_2+Fe_2O_3

<em>b) We know that, decomposition reactions are [generally] endothermic reactions in which Large Compounds </em><em>decompose </em><em>into smaller elements and compounds. Here, as Ferrous Sulphate </em><em>decomposes </em><em>into Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur Trioxide and Ferric Oxide, the reaction that occurs here is </em><em>Decomposition Reaction.</em>

Calculate the equilibrium constant k for the isomerization of glucose-1-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate at 298 k. express your
k0ka [10]
We cannot solve this problem without using empirical data. These reactions have already been experimented by scientists. The standard Gibb's free energy, ΔG°, (occurring in standard temperature of 298 Kelvin) are already reported in various literature. These are the known ΔG° for the appropriate reactions.

<span>glucose-1-phosphate⟶glucose-6-phosphate          ΔG∘=−7.28 kJ/mol
fructose-6-phosphate⟶glucose-6-phosphate          ΔG∘=−1.67 kJ/mol
</span>
Therefore, the reaction is a two-step process wherein glucose-6-phosphate is the intermediate product.

glucose-1-phosphate⟶glucose-6-phosphate⟶fructose-6-phosphate 

In this case, you simply add the ΔG°. However, since we need the reverse of the second reaction to end up with the terminal product, fructose-6-phosphate, you'll have to take the opposite sign of ΔG°.

ΔG°,total = −7.28 kJ/mol  + 1.67 kJ/mol = -5.61 kJ/mol

Then, the equation to relate ΔG° to the equilibrium constant K is

ΔG° = -RTlnK, where R is the gas constant equal to 0.008317 kJ/mol-K.
-5.61 kJ./mol = -(0.008317 kJ/mol-K)(298 K)(lnK)
lnK = 2.2635
K = e^2.2635
K = 9.62

The “fatal flaw” in Rutherford’s model of the atom was the idea that if the electrons were ________.
Wittaler [7]
The correct option is A. Rutherford model of the atom consider an atom to be made up of a central nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. The nucleus is considered to be tiny, heavy and its positively charged while the electrons are negatively charged. The shortcoming of this model is that it was not able to explain how the positive nucleus was not able to attract the negative electrons and pull them inside the nucleus.
