What element is being oxidized in the following redox reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
DIA [1.3K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The element that has been oxidized is the N

Explanation:

Zn²⁺(aq) + NH₄⁺(aq) → Zn(s) + NO₃⁻(aq)

See all the oxidation states:

Zn²⁺  → acts with +2

In ammonia, H acts with +1 and N with -3

Zn(s), acts with 0. In all the elements in ground state, the oxidation state is 0.

Zn changed from 2+ to 0. The oxidation number, has decreased.

This element has been reduced.

NO₃⁻ (aq) it's a ion, from nitric acid.

N acts with +5

O acts with -2

The global charge is -1

The N, has increased the oxidation state, so this element is the one oxidized.

A student observes the combustion (burning) of propane (C3H8). Because of the heat and light it generates, the student concludes
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The student's conclusion is not correct

Explanation:

Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur. All reactions require there activation energy to be met before the reaction can proceed. When the temperature of a reaction is increased, the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules increases; colliding more with each other, which makes them "surmount" the activation energy of the reaction faster as compared to a lower temperature.

In combustion, there is burning of an hydrocarbon (in this case propane) in excess oxygen. The burning assists in increasing the kinetic energy of the reactant particles which in turn easily surmounts the activation energy of the reaction  by colliding (effective collision) more with oxygen. So, the reaction has an activation energy but the activation energy has been met and passed and hence the reaction is proceeding faster.

Increasing the temperature of a reaction is one of the ways of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction.

What mass of HBO2 is produced from the<br> combustion of 139.5 g of B2H6?<br> Answer in units of g.
aliina [53]

Answer:

m_{HBO_2}=441.8gHBO_2

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the combustion of B2H6 is:

B_2H_6+3O_2\rightarrow 2HBO_2+2H_2O

Thus, since there is 1:2 mole ratio between the reactant and product, the produced grams of the latter is:

m_{HBO_2}=139.5gB_2H_6*\frac{1molB_2H_6}{27.67gB_2H_6} *\frac{2molHBO_2}{1molB_2H_6} *\frac{43.82gHBO_2}{1molHBO_2}

m_{HBO_2}=441.8gHBO_2

Best regards!

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of a 300.0
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Q = 1455.12 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 300 grams

Initial temperature = 22.3

Final temperature = 59.9°C

Specific heat capacity = 0.129 J/gºC.

To find the quantity of energy;

Q = mcdt

Where,

Q represents the heat capacity.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 59.9 - 22.3

dt = 37.6°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 300*0.129*37.6

Q = 1455.12 Joules.
