Consider the redox reaction below.

Chemistry
1 answer:
vovangra [49]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Explanation:

Let us consider the complete redox reaction:

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.

  • Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
  • Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
  • An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.

Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2

And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.

Therefore, for this reaction;

Oxidation Half equation is:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Reduction Half equation is:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)

Why is studying light and electrons important for chemistry and understanding the universe?
Brut [27]

Explanation :

The study of light and electrons are important for chemistry & universe.

   As we know, everything is made up of particles even light & universe also. The particles are made of atoms and that atoms are made up of electrons, protons & neutrons.

   An electron is one of the most important type of subatomic particles. Electrons combine with the proton to form atom. These electrons, protons & neutrons play a vital role in chemistry and universe.

   The importance of an electron is that when two atoms react with each other or approach each other, their outermost shells come into contact first and these outermost shells electrons are involved in the chemical reaction.

    Also important for chemical reactions, creating bonds, for electricity and the understanding of electrons has allowed for the better understanding of some forces which are in our universe such as electromagnetic force.

    We know that the light is act as particle nature and it is a part of universe. As we know that chemists are only responsible for the chemical's study. Chemists cannot study the whole universe that is why they study light and the light is important because nothing would be able to survive.

    The studying of light is important for the photoelectric effect, absorption, bio-molecules synthesis, vitamin D synthesis, vision, colors, drying & evaporation, sterilization, solar energy, spectroscopy, signal system and also for electron excitation.

What mass of Ca(NO3)2 is equal to 0.75 moles of this substance?
sattari [20]

Answer:

Ca - 63.546 g

2N - 28.014 g

2O3 - 96 g

Ca(NO3)2 = 187.56 g

187.56 g x 0.75 mol = 140.67 g
