Reduction reactions are those reactions that reduce the oxidation number of a substance. Hence, the product side of the reaction must contain excess electrons. The opposite is true for oxidation reactions. When you want to determine the potential difference expressed in volts between the cathode and anode, the equation would be: E,reduction - E,oxidation.
To cancel out the electrons, the e- in the reactions must be in opposite sides. To do this, you reverse the equation with the negative E0, then replacing it with the opposite sign.
Pb(s) --> Pb2+ +2e- E0 = +0.13 V
Ag+ + e- ---> Ag E0 = +0.80 V
Adding up the E0's would yield an overall electric cell potential of +0.93 V.
In order to balance an equation, we apply the principle of conservation of mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore, the mass of an element before and after a reaction remains constant. Here, the balanced equation becomes:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃
The coefficients are 4, 3 and 2.
Answer:
0.0745 mole of hydrogen gas
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of H₂SO₄ = 0.0745 moles
Number of moles of Li = 1.5107 moles
Unknown:
Number of moles of H₂ produced = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we have to work from the known specie to the unknown one.
The known specie in this expression is the sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. We can compare its number of moles with that of the unknown using a balanced chemical equation.
Balanced chemical equation:
2Li + H₂SO₄ → Li₂SO₄ + H₂
From the balanced equation;
Before proceeding, we need to obtain the limiting reagent. This is the reagent whose given proportion is in short supply. It determines the extent of the reaction.
2 mole of Li reacted with 1 mole of H₂SO₄
1.5107 mole of lithium will react with
= 0.7554mole of H₂SO₄
But we were given 0.0745 moles,
This suggests that the limiting reagent is the sulfuric acid because it is in short supply;
since 1 mole of sulfuric acid produced 1 mole of hydrogen gas;
0.0745 mole of sulfuric acid will produce 0.0745 mole of hydrogen gas
Scientists use scientific notation to simplify numbers, basically. When dealing with really big numbers or really small numbers, the usage of scientific notation prevents them from having to write a bunch of zeroes.
