Answer:

2H₂O (liq) + 2e⁻⇒ H₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

In reduction-oxidation reaction two reactions take place, one is oxidation and the other is reduction reaction. In an oxidation reaction, there is the loss of an electron whereas in the reduction reaction there is gain of electron occus.

Reduction reaction occurs on the cathode, in a reduction of water there is gain of 2 electrons to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution. half-reaction for the reduction of liquid water to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution-

2H₂O (liq) + 2e⁻⇒ H₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

Question 5

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

any object that is larger will take a longer time to do things, the same applies to heat levels. The lower the heat, the longer it takes, the higher the heat, the shorter it takes. So if an iceberg is large, it will need a higher heat, whereas an ice cube is really small and doesn't need that much heat to melt.

1. Which of the following is a correctly written thermochemical equation?

WITCHER [35]

Explanation:

1. Thermochemical equation is balance stoichiometric chemical equation written with the phases of the reactants and products in the brackets along with the enthalpy change of the reaction.

The given correct thermochemical reactions are:

$Fe(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow Fe_2O_3(s),\Delta H = 3,926 kJ
$

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2 (g)\rightarrow 3CO_2 (g)+4H_2O(l),\Delta H= 2,220 kJ/mol$

2. Phase change affect the value of the enthalpy change of the thermochemical equation. This is because change in phase is accompanied by change in energy. For example:

$H_2O(s)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{s}=51.1 kJ/mol$

$H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2O(g),\Delta H_{v}=40.65 kJ/mol$

In both reaction phase of water is changing with change in energy of enthalpy of reaction.

Helium has a density of 1.79 x 10-4 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure. A balloon has a volume of 6.3 liters. Calculate t

sukhopar [10]

To find the mass you divide multiply volume and density..

Density = 1.79 x 10^-4 Volume = 6.3

(1.79 x 10^-4 )(6.3) = <span>1.1 x 10^-3 g
