Which equation represents a reduction half-reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Fe3+ + 3e– --------> Fe

Explanation:

Reduction refers to a gain of electrons. A specie is said to be reduced when it gains electrons or when it experiences a decrease in oxidation number. The both sentences above can be clearly seen when inspecting a reduction half equation.

Consider the redox reaction half equation;

Fe3+ + 3e– ------>Fe

We can see that Fe^3+ accepted three electrons, the oxidation number of iron thereby decreased from +3 to zero from left to right. This implies that the Fe^3+ was actually reduced according to the equation shown.

Mark the statement as true or false.
Sergio [31]

True. Modern theory of Atom is still using the proposed ideas of Dalton, Thomson and Rutherford.

Explanation:

  • Dalton created his atom theory - He said that all matter is made up of atoms and atoms can’t be created nor destroyed or divided into tiny particles. In the same element, all atoms will be identical in size and mass but atoms in the one element will be different in size and mass from the atoms in the other elements. Atoms of different elements combined and forming compounds.
  • Thomson found that inferred atoms and negative electrons also contains the negative particles. He also concluded that there was a mass of positively charged material. He explained this with the Raisins Bun model.
  • Using Gold Foil Experiment Rutherford found the positively charged nucleus in the centre of every atom. When he was doing this experiment, the positive particles which he passed through the foil got reflected at the centre. This led Rutherford to conclude about the positively charged nucleus at the centre. And he also found about revolving electrons around the nucleus because, in his experiment, some of the positive particles got attracted near the centre.

A 2.144-g sample of phosgene, a compound used as a chemical warfare agent during World War I, contains 0.260 g of carbon, 0.347
Greeley [361]
First convert each mass to moles by dividing by the molar mass.

0.347g Oxygen = 0.022 moles
0.260g Carbon = 0.022 moles
1.537g Chlorine = 0.043 moles

Divide each by smallest mole vale (0.022)

Oxygen = 0.022/0.022 = 1
Carbon = 0.022/0.022 = 1
Chlorine = 0.043/0.022 = 2

Therefore the empirical formula is COCl2
