The correct answer is option A. Energy cannot be created during an ordinary chemical reaction. There is no such thing as an ordinary chemical reaction. Energy cannot be created or destroyed this is according to the law of conservation of energy. It can only be transformed from one form to another form.
Answer:
Rate depends on the rate constant. The rate constant depends on temperature and activation energy. If you have lower activation energy the rate will be higher. This is why catalysts are added since catalysts provide an alternate pathway that requires lower activation energy and catalysts are added to increase the rate of reaction.
Explanation:
This is only the answer if you were asking:
"Which corresponds to the faster rate: a mechanism with a small activation energy or one with a large activation energy?"
Thats what I understood about your question.
Answer:
Mg
Explanation:
Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu
Magnesium is oxidized because its oxidation state increased from 0 to +2 while Cu is reduced because its oxidation state decreased from +2 to 0.
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
<em>Consider the following reactions.
</em>
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O
The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
Answer: A supersaturated solution will not contain undissolved solute because the undissolved solute will be indicative of saturated solution.
Explanation:
A supersaturated solution is the one that consists of more than the maximum concentration of the solute in the solvent that is being dissolved at a given temperature. A saturated solution is the one in which the maximum concentration of solute has been dissolved in the solvent and no additional solute can be dissolved further.
According to the given statement, a solution with undissolved solute is a saturated solution rather a supersaturated solution.
18 electrons. With a -2 charge, that means it gains two electrons.
