2.B. Describe the difference between a reaction that occurs spontaneously and one that does not. Spontaneous chemical reactions release energy and use that energy to power itself; non-spontaneous chemical reactions need to absorb energy, which they can't absorb their own energy that they don't even have.
Answer: C
Explanation:
In endothermic reactions, enthalpy is positive, and in exothermic reactions, enthalpy is negative, So, if enthalpy is positive, then it is an endothermic reaction, and hence is required for the reaction to occur.
In balancing reactions, the number of atoms on each side should be of equal number. It is the most important rule in reactions. Also, we should know the correct substances involved in the reaction. We do as follows:
2K + MgBr2 = 2KBr + Mg
I think the answer is a pure substance
Answer:
The correct answer is 169.56 g/mol.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the mass of Ag deposited is 1.24 g, and the mass of unknown metal X deposited in another cell is 0.650 g. The number of moles of electrons can be determined as,
= 1.24 g Ag * 1mol Ag/107.87 g/mol Ag * 1 mol electron/1 mol Ag ( the molecular mass of Ag is 107.87 g/mol)
= 0.0115 mole of electron
The half cell reaction for the metal X is,
X^3+ (aq) + 3e- = X (s)
From the reaction, it came out that 3 faraday will reduce one mole of X^3+.
The molar mass of X will be,
= 0.650 g/0.0115 *3 mol electron/1 mol
= 56.52 * 3
= 169.56 g/mol
