Answer:

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

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.

Consider the following reactions.

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

How many moles of LiOH are needed to react completely with 25.5 g of CO2

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

3.18 mol

Explanation:

$2LiOH+CO_{2}-> Li_{2}CO_{3} +H_{2}O$

n(CO2) = mass/ Mr.

= 25.5 / 16

= 1.59 mol

As per the equation above,

n(LiOH) : n(CO2)

2 : 1

∴ 3.18 : 1.59

A tank of gas is found to exert 8.6 atm at 38°C. What would be the required

Vesna [10]

Answer:

36.2 K

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Initial pressure of the gas (P₁): 8.6 atm

Initial temperature of the gas (T₁): 38°C

Final pressure of the gas (P₂): 1.0 atm (standard pressure)

Final temperature of the gas (T₂): ?

Step 2: Convert T₁ to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C +273.15

K = 38 °C +273.15 = 311 K

Step 3: Calculate T₂

We will use Gay Lussac's law.

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

T₂ = P₂ × T₁/P₁

T₂ = 1.0 atm × 311 K/8.6 atm = 36.2 K

Be sure to answer all parts. Nitric oxide, NO·, is a radical thought to cause ozone destruction by a mechanism similar to that o

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

See image attached and explanation

Explanation:

The stratospheric ozone layer is very important in absorbing high-energy ultraviolet radiation that is harmful to living systems on earth. The concentration of ozone in the stratosphere is determined by both thermal and photochemical pathways for its decomposition. Nitric oxide, NO, is a trace constituent in the stratosphere that reacts with ozone to form nitrogen dioxide, NO2, and the diatomic oxygen molecule. The nitrogen-oxygen bond in NO2 is relatively weak. When an NO2 molecule encounters an oxygen atom, it transfers an oxygen, forming O2 and NO. The chemical reactions involved are formations of NO2 following by reaction of NO2 with atomic oxygen for form NO and O2. The sum of both reactions show that the overall reaction is simply the reaction of ozone with atomic oxygen to form two molecules of molecular oxygen. Hence, NO only serves as a catalyst, it does not undergo a permanent change itself.
