Consider the half reaction below.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Radda [10]3 years ago
7 0
Answer: the second option: <span>Iron is being oxidized
</span>

Explanation:

1) Oxidation is the increase of the oxidation state (number) due to the loss of electrons.

2) In the given reaction, you can see that in the left side the atom is Fe. 

When an element (atom) is not combined (or combined with it self) its oxidation state is 0. 

3) In the right side of the given equation you that iron is now in form of cation with charge 2+: Fe²⁺.

That means that the new oxidation state of the element is 2+.

4) This change in the oxidation state, of course, is accompanied by the loss of the two electrons: 2e⁻.

5) Conclusion: the iron has oxidized by losing two electrons and increasing its oxidation state from 0 to 2+.

A 0.133 pg sample of iron-59 produces 242 β-particles per second. what is the half-life of this isotope (in hours)
34kurt
1070 hours.  
1 mole of iron-59 would mass 59 grams, so 0.133 picograms would be 0.133x10^-12 / 59 = 2.25x10^-15 moles of iron-59. Multiplying by Avogadro's number, we can determine the number of atoms of iron-59 we have, so: 2.25x10^-15 * 6.02214x10^23 = 1.35x10^9 
 Since we have 242 decays over a period of 1 second, we can divide the
number of atoms left by the original number of atoms
 (1350000000 - 242)/1350000000
 = 1349999758/1350000000
 = 0.999999820740741 
 And calculate the logarithm to base 2 of that quotient.
 ln(0.999999820740741)/ln(2)
 = -1.79259275281191x10^-7/0.693147180559945
 = -2.58616467481524x10^-7 
 The reciprocal of this number will be the half life in seconds. So
 -1/2.58616467481524x10^-7
 = -3866729.79388461 
 And dividing by 3600 (number of seconds in an hour) will give the half-life in
hours.
 -3866729.79388461 / 3600 = -1074.091609 
 So the half life in hours to 3 significant figures is 1070 hours.
 Dividing that figure by 24 gives a half life of 44.58 days which is in pretty close agreement to the official half-life of 44.495 days for iron-59.

How many chloride ions are in a 220 grams of calcium chloride?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: Hello, There! Your Answer is Below

2.4 x 1024 ions

Explanation:

220 g of CaCl₂  =  X moles

Solving for X,

                                                X  =  (220 g × 1 mol) ÷ 110.98 g

                                                X  =  1.98 moles

As,

                          1 mole contained  =  1.20 × 10²⁴ Cl⁻ Ions

Then,

                   1.98 mole will contain  =  X Cl⁻ Ions

Solving for X,

                                                 X  =  (1.98 mol × 1.20 × 10²⁴ Ions) ÷ 1mol

                                                 X  =  2.38 × 10²⁴ Cl⁻ Ions

Hope this Helps!

Have a great DAy!

Which one of the following is the net ionic equation for the reaction of nitric acid with aluminum hydroxide
kompoz [17]
The ionic eqn is as follow:

1 Al(OH)3(s) + 3 H+(aq) + 3 NO3(-1) --> 1 Al(3+)(aq) + 3 NO3(-)(aq) + 3 H2O(l)

3moles of No3- ion on both sides cancels out to give the net ionic eqn:

1 Al(OH)3(s) + 3 H+(aq) --> 1 Al(3+)(aq) + 3 H2O(l)

The balanced equation for combustion in an acetylene torch is shown below: 2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O The acetylene tank contains
andriy [413]

Answer: 67.2 moles

Explanation: 2C_2H5+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O

According to the given balanced equation, 2 moles of acetylene C_2H_2 combine with 5 moles of oxygen O_2  to produce 4 moles of carbon dioxide CO_2.

Thus if 2 moles of acetylene C_2H_2 combine with = 5 moles of oxygen O_2

35 moles of acetylene C_2H_2 combine with=\frac{5}{2}\times {35}=87.5 moles of oxygen O_2

But as only 84 moles of oxygen are available, acetylene is not a limiting reagent.

5 moles of oxygen O_2 reacts with = 2 moles of acetylene C_2H_2

84 moles of oxygen O_2 reacts with=\frac{2}{5}\times {84}=33.6 moles of acetylene C_2H_2

Thus Oxygen is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of products. Acetylene is excess reagent as it is present in excess.

2 moles of acetylene C_2H_2  produce= 4 moles of carbon dioxide CO_2.

33.6 moles of acetylene C_2H_2 produce=\frac{4}{2}\times {33.6}=67.2 moles of of carbon dioxide CO_2.
