Half-reaction for the reduction of liquid water to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elena L [17]4 years ago
5 0

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)

How many particles are there in 5.0 moles​
grigory [225]

Answer:

3.01 × 10^24 particles

Explanation:

According to Avagadro, in one mole of a substance, there are 6.02 × 10^23 atoms or particles.

Using the formula: N = n × NA

Where;

N= number of particles or atoms

n = number of moles

NA = Avagadro's constant or number

This means that for 5 moles of a substance, there will be:

5 × 6.02 × 10^23

= 30.1 × 10^23

= 3.01 × 10^24 particles

What do the conclusions tell about the experiment?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

When you perform a experiment to test your hypothesis (your educated guess on what you think will happen) you complete trials to find data that is reliable and valid so you are only getting the best possible results. After you complete the experiment you write your conclusion which is when you take the data and you say if the data supported your hypothesis, if you did guess correctly at the beginning of the experiment. Which means the answer is option C "the conclusions tell why the data support or reject the hypothesis."

Hope this helps.

Which equation represents the correct net ionic equation for the reaction between Ca(OH)2 and H2SO4?
Georgia [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct net ionic equation for the reaction is 2H^{+}(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Net ionic equation is defined as the equations in which spectator ions are not included.

Spectator ions are the ones that are present equally on the reactant and product sides. They do not participate in the reaction.  

The balanced molecular equation is:

Ca(OH)_2(aq)+H_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow CaSO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)

The complete ionic equation follows:

Ca^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)+2H^+(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Ca^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)+H_2O(l)

As calcium and sulfate ions are present on both sides of the reaction. Thus, they are considered spectator ions.

The net ionic equation follows:

2H^{+}(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

Hence, the correct net ionic equation for the reaction is 2H^{+}(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)
