Which ions are spectator ions in the formation of a precipitate of agcl via combining aqueous solutions of cocl2 and agno3?

1 answer:

7 0

AgNO3 reacts with CoCl2 based on the following equation:
AgNO3 + CoCl2 ........> CoNO3 + AgCl2

The complete ionic equation for this reaction is:
Co2+(aq) + 2Cl- (aq) + 2Ag+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) ...> 2AgCl(s) + Co2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)
while the net ionic equation is:
Cl-(aq) + Ag+(aq) → AgCl(s)

From this ionic equations, we can see that Co2+ and NO3- remained unchanged in the ionic equations. Therefore Co2+ and NO3- are the spectator ions.

The free energy obtained from the oxidation (reaction with oxygen) of glucose (C6H12O6) to form carbon dioxide and water can be

babunello [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is -2878 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place at the time of the oxidation of glucose is,

C₆H₁₂O₆ (s) + 6O₂ (g) ⇒ 6CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (l)

The standard free energy change for the oxidation of glucose can be determined by using the formula,

ΔG°rxn = ∑nΔG°f (products) - ∑nΔG°f (reactants)

The ΔG°f for glucose is -910.56 kJ/mol, for oxygen is 0 kJ/mol, for H2O -237.14 kJ/mol and for CO2 is -394.39 kJ/mol.

Therefore, ΔG°rxn = 6 (-237.14) + 6 (-394.39) - (-910.56)

ΔG°rxn = -2878 kJ/mol

astraxan [27]

Answer: The reaction is endothermic.

Explanation:

Endothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is absorbed from the surrounding. In the endothermic reaction, the reactant have less energy than the energy of products

In endothermic reaction, enthalpy terms is located on the reactant side.

Example: $A+B+energy\rightarrow C+D$

Exothermic reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where the energy is released into the surrounding. In the exothermic reaction, the energy of reactants are more than the energy of products

In exothermic reaction, enthalpy terms is located on the product side.

Example: $A+B\rightarrow C+D+energy$
