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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 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)

Osmotic pressure ____.a. occurs only in ionic solutions.b. is lower with 1 M NaCl than 1 M sucrose.c. is created using detergent
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

d. is the hydrostatic pressure produced on the surface of a semi-permeable membrane by osmosis.    

Explanation:

Osmosis -

It is the flow of the molecules of solvent from a region of higher concentration towards the region of lower concentration via a semipermeable membrane , is known as osmosis.

Osmotic pressure -

It refers to the minimum amount of pressure , which is required to be applied to the solution in order to avoid the flow of pure solvent via the semipermeable membrane , is referred to as osmotic pressure.

Or in simple terms ,

Osmotic pressure is the pressure applied to resists the process of osmosis.

Hence ,

From the given options in the question,

The correct option regarding osmotic pressure is d.

How many joules of energy do you have if you have 0.45 L of water in a can and you heat the 23C water to 55C site:socratic.org
Bess [88]

Answer:

Q = 60192 j

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of water = 0.45 L

Initial temperature = 23°C

Final temperature = 55°C

Amount of heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT =  55°C - 23°C

ΔT = 32°C

one L = 1000 g

0.45 × 1000 = 450 g

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 j/g°C

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = 450 g.  4.18 j/g°C.  32°C

Q = 60192 j

2zns(s)+3o2(g)—>2zno(s)+2so2(g)
Paha777 [63]

This is an example of displacement reaction

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The chemical reaction in which the one element replaces the other element in a compound is called a displacement reaction. This reaction is also called a replacement reaction.

                                AB + C -----> AC +B

                        2ZnS + 3O2 -----> 2ZnO + 2SO2

  • This happens when A is more reactive than B and gives a stable product. Here the zinc sulfide compound reacts with the oxygen element to the stable product of zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide.
  • In short, the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element is called a displacement reaction.
