REY [17]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u> Aluminium is getting oxidized in the given chemical reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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:

2Al(s)+3FeSO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq.)+3Fe(s)

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u>  Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u>  Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe

As, aluminium is loosing 3 electrons to form aluminium cation. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Iron is gaining 2 electrons to form iron anion. Thus, it is getting reduced.

Hence, the oxidized species of the given reaction is aluminium.

Hiii pls help me to write out the ionic equation ​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

<u>STEP I</u>

This is the balanced equation for the given reaction:-

2KOH_{(aq)} + H_2SO_4{}_{(aq)}   \rightarrow K_2SO_4{}_{(aq)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}

<u>STEP II</u>

The compounds marked with (aq) are soluble ionic compounds. They must be

broken into their respective ions.

see, in the equation KOH, H2SO4, and K2SO4 are marked with (aq).

On breaking them into their respective ions :-

  • 2KOH -> 2K+ + 2OH-
  • H2SO4 -> 2H+ + (SO4)2-
  • K2SO4 -> 2K+ + (SO4)2-

<u>STEP III</u>

Rewriting these in the form of equation

\underline{\pmb{2K^+} }+ 2OH^- + 2H^+ + \pmb{\underline{{SO_4{}^{2-}}} \: \rightarrow \:  \underline{\pmb{2K^+}}} + \underline{\pmb{SO_4{}^{2-}}} + 2H_2O

<u>STEP </u><u>IV</u>

Canceling spectator ions, the ions that appear the same on either side of the equation

<em>(note: in the above step the ions in bold have gotten canceled.)</em>

\boxed{ \mathfrak{ \red{ 2OH^-{}_{(aq)} + 2H^+{(aq.)} \rightarrow H_2O{}_{(l)}}}}

This is the net ionic equation.

____________________________

\\

\mathfrak{\underline{\green{ Why\: KOH \:has\:  been\: taken\: as\: aqueous ?}}}

  • KOH has been taken as aqueous because the question informs us that we have a solution of KOH. by solution it means that KOH has been dissolved in water before use.

[Alkali metal hydroxides are the only halides soluble in water ]

PLEASE HELP ITS DUE TODAY!
Yuri [45]

Answer:

At one atmosphere and twenty-five degrees Celsius, could you turn it into a liquid by cooling it down? Um, and the key here is that the triple point eyes that minus fifty six point six degrees Celsius and it's at five point eleven ATMs. So at one atmospheric pressure, there's no way that you're ever going to reach the liquid days. So the first part of this question is the answer The answer to the first part of a question is no. How could you instead make the liquid at twenty-five degrees Celsius? Well, the critical point is at thirty-one point one degrees Celsius. So you know, if you're twenty-five, if you increase the pressure instead, you will briefly by it, be able to form a liquid. And if you continue Teo, you know, increase the pressure eventually form a salad, so increasing the pressure is the second part. If you increase the pressure of co two thirty-seven degrees Celsius, will you ever liquefy? No. Because then, if you're above thirty-one point one degrees Celsius in temperature. You'LL never be able to actually form the liquid. Instead, you'LL only is able Teo obtain supercritical co too, which is really cool thing. You know, they used supercritical sio tu tio decaffeinated coffee without, you know, adding a solvent that you'LL be able to taste, which is really cool. But no, you can't liquefy so two above thirty-one degrees Celsius or below five-point eleven atmospheric pressures anyway, that's how I answer this question. Hope this helped :)

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential E0red = +0.13V . An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the
Ivan

Answer:

a. 1.23 V

b. No maximum

Explanation:

Required:

a. Is there a minimum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?

b. Is there a maximum standard reduction potential that the half-reaction used at the cathode of this cell can have?

The standard cell potential (E°cell) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E°cell = E°red, cat - E°red, an

If E°cell must be at least 1.10 V (E°cell > 1.10 V),

E°red, cat - E°red, an > 1.10 V

E°red, cat - 0.13V > 1.10 V

E°red, cat > 1.23 V

The minimum standard reduction potential is 1.23 V while there is no maximum standard reduction potential.

g Gaseous ethane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 2.71 g of ethane i
Kamila [148]

Answer:

6.05g

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

Ethane + oxygen --> Carbon dioxide + water

2C2H6 + 7O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O

From the reaction above;

2 mol of ethane reacts with 7 mol of oxygen.

To proceed, we have to obtain the limiting reagent,

2,71g of ethane;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 2.71 / 30 = 0.0903 mol

3.8g of oxygen;

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass = 3.8 / 16 = 0.2375 mol

If 0.0903 moles of ethane was used, it would require;

2 = 7

0.0903 = x

x = 0.31605 mol of oxygen needed

This means that oxygen is our limiting reagent.

From the reaction,

7 mol of oxygen yields 4 mol of carbon dioxide

0.2375 yields x?

7 = 4

0.2375 = x

x = 0.1357

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass = 0.1357 * 44 = 6.05g
