How does the oxidation state of O change in the following reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Liula [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Oxygen Doesn't change

However, Li is oxidized (0 to +1), Na is reduced (+1 to 0)

Explanation:

On reactant side, Oxygen has -2 oxidation charge because we know common oxidation states such as oxygen -2, hydrogen +1 etc.

So NaOH, O is -2, H is +1, so Na has to be +1 to equal total charge of compound

In product side, LiOH, again O has to be -2, H is +1, so Li +1 as well..

We see that oxygen oxidation state doesn't change. However, for Li it becomes oxidized going from 0 to +1 whereas, Na is reduced going from +1 to 0.

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

A. This is wrong. The reactants are on the left side of the yields arrow

B. This is wrong. They can only be at one side at a time. They cannot be on both sides at the same time.

C. The products are on the right side of the yields arrow and not at the left side

D. This is correct. The reactants are on the left side of the yields arrow.

E. This is correct. We can have varying numbers of the number of atoms on both side of the yields arrow. The numbers may differ until we decide to balance the equation

Calculate E ° for the half‑reaction, AgCl ( s ) + e − − ⇀ ↽ − Ag ( s ) + Cl − ( aq ) given that the solubility product constant
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: The value of E^{o} for the half-cell reaction is 0.222 V.

Explanation:

Equation for solubility equilibrium is as follows.

          AgCl(s) \rightleftharpoons Ag^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)

Its solubility product will be as follows.

       K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]

Cell reaction for this equation is as follows.

     Ag(s)| AgCl(s)|Cl^{-}(0.1 M)|| Ag^{+}(1.0 M)| Ag(s)

Reduction half-reaction: Ag^{+} + 1e^{-} \rightarrow Ag(s),  E^{o}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} = 0.799 V

Oxidation half-reaction: Ag(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s) + 1e^{-},   E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag} = ?

Cell reaction: Ag^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s)

So, for this cell reaction the number of moles of electrons transferred are n = 1.

    Solubility product, K_{sp} = [Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]

                                               = 1.77 \times 10^{-10}

Therefore, according to the Nernst equation

           E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{n} log \frac{[AgCl]}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}

At equilibrium, E_{cell} = 0.00 V

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

         E_{cell} = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{n} log \frac{[AgCl]}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}

        0.00 = E^{o}_{cell} - \frac{0.0592 V}{1} log \frac{1}{[Ag^{+}][Cl^{-}]}    

       E^{o}_{cell} = \frac{0.0592}{1} log \frac{1}{K_{sp}}

                  = 0.0591 V \times log \frac{1}{1.77 \times 10^{-10}}

                  = 0.577 V

Hence, we will calculate the standard cell potential as follows.

           E^{o}_{cell} = E^{o}_{cathode} - E^{o}_{anode}

       0.577 V = E^{o}_{Ag^{+}/Ag} - E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag}

       0.577 V = 0.799 V - E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag}

       E^{o}_{AgCl/Ag} = 0.222 V

Thus, we can conclude that value of E^{o} for the half-cell reaction is 0.222 V.

Consider a wildflower population with the following allele and genotype frequencies. Frequency of the CR allele: p = 0.6 Frequen
k0ka [10]

NO,  It Isn't

Ideally a population in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium should hold true to the following equation for genotypic frequencies of an allele;

P² + 2pq + q² = 1

Explanation:

We are provided with allelic frequencies hence we can derive the genotypic frequencies; (CR allele: p = 0.6 Frequency of the CW allele: q = 0.4)

P² = 0.6 ^2 = 0.36

2pq = 2 * 0.6 * 0.4 = 0.48

q² = 0.4 ^ 2 = 0.16

Lets find out if all add up to  as supposed to;

0.36 +  0.48 + 0.16 = 1

Converting to percentages is easy – just multiply by 100

  • 36 % CRCR
  • 48% CRCW
  • and 16 % CWCW

The population provided is not in equilibrium because their percentages vary widely to that the expected Hardy Weinberg's equilibrium percentages. This could be attributed to factors like;

  1. Migration
  2. Mutations,
  3. There is natural selection in progress in the population
  4. There is gene flow
