Answer: $Ne$

Explanation: The stable valence configuration is one in which the orbitals are completely filled as they are least reactive. Elements with partially filled valence shells are less stable and more reactive as they tend to gain or lose electrons to acquire stability.

$Boron:B:5:1s^22s^22p^1$

$Lithium:Li:3:1s^22s^1$

$Oxygen:O:8:1s^22s^22p^4$

$Neon:Ne:10:1s^22s^22p^6$

Be sure to answer all parts. Consider the following balanced redox reaction (do not include state of matter in your answers): 2C

timurjin [86]

Answer:

The specie which is oxidized is:- $CrO_2^-$

The specie which is reduced is:- $ClO^-$

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2CrO_2^- + 6ClO^- + 2H_2O\rightarrow 2CrO_4^{2-} + 3Cl_2 + 4OH^-$

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $CrO_2^- + 2H_2O + 4OH^-\rightarrow CrO_4^{2-} + 4H_2O + 3e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $2ClO^- + 4H_2O + 2e^-\rightarrow Cl_2 + 2H_2O + 4OH^-$

Thus, the specie which is oxidized is:- $CrO_2^-$

The specie which is reduced is:- $ClO^-$

What is the ΔG for the following reaction at 25°C?

ikadub [295]

$\Delta G_{global}=\Delta G_{products}-\Delta G_{reagents}\\\\
\text{We should consider the stoichiometry:}\\\\
\Delta G=2\Delta G_{NO_2}-\Delta G_{N_2O_4}\\\\
\Delta G=2\cdot51.8-98.28=103.6-98.28\\\\
\boxed{\Delta G=5.32~kJ}$
