Explanation:
Once solid ammonium nitrate interacts with water, the molecules of polar water intermingle with these ions and attract individual ions from the structure of the lattice, that actually will break down. E.g;-NH4NO3(s) — NH4+(aq)+ NO3-(aq) To split the ionic bonds that bind the lattice intact takes energy that is drained from the surroundings to cool the solution.
Some heat energy is produced once the ammonium and nitrate ions react with the water molecules (exothermic reaction), however this heat is far below that is needed by the H2O molecules to split the powerful ionic bonds in the solid ammonium nitrate.
Hence, we can say that the dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water is highly endothermic reaction.
The correct options are as follows:
1. In the chemical equation given above, Fe3+ IS REDUCED.
A reduction is a process in which an atom of an element gains an electron and therefore become reduced. In this type of reaction, the positive character of the atom is reduced. Looking at the equation given above, you will notice that, the positive character of Iron is reduced form +3 to +2.
2. In the reaction given above, the chlorine atom is OXIDIZED.
An oxidation is a process in which an atom loses an electron, thereby increasing its oxidation number. In this case, the positive character of the atom is increased. Looking at the chlorine atom given above, you will notice that it has a charge of -1 before and now it has change to neutral, which means that, it has given out the electron it gains earlier.
3. This type of redox reaction can not take place. This is because, in chemical reaction, the chlorine atom is always looking for another element that will donate an electron to it in order to become stable. Thus, chlorine atom easily gain electrons but it can not donate an electron to another element.<span />
Two electron pairs is the answer
Answer:
Two water molecules contain 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms. A mole of water molecules contains 2 moles of hydrogen atoms and 1 mole of oxygen atoms.
