What happens when a metal is reduced. Give an example of a metal being reduced

Chemistry
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The oxidation number of the metal decreases

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

The metal element iron, is reduced from Fe⁺³ in Fe₂O₃ to Fe⁺² in FeO

Explanation:

When an element gains electron, the element becomes reduced, hence when a metal is reduced, the metal gains electrons, which reduces the oxidation number of the metal

An example of a metal being reduced is;

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

In the above reaction, the iron (III) oxide is reduced to iron (II) oxide by aluminium metal.

The combustion reaction described in part (b) occurred in a closed room containing 5.56 10g of air
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is given below,

C₂H₅OH(l) + 3O₂(g) ⇒ 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

Provided that such a combustion has a normal enthalpy,

ΔH°rxn = -1270 kJ/mol

That would be 1 mol reacting to release of ethanol,

⇒ -1270 kJ of heat

Now,

0.383 Ethanol mol responds to release or unlock,

(c) Determine the final temperature of the air in the room after the combustion.

Given that :

specific heat c = 1.005 J/(g. °C)

m = 5.56 ×10⁴ g

Using the relation:

q = mcΔT

- 486.34 =  5.56 ×10⁴  × 1.005 × ΔT

ΔT= (486.34 × 1000 )/5.56×10⁴  × 1.005

ΔT= 836.88 °C

ΔT= T₂ - T₁

T₂ =  ΔT +  T₁

T₂ = 836.88 °C + 21.7°C

T₂ = 858.58 °C

Therefore, the final temperature of the air in the room after combustion is 858.58 °C

[07.03] what is the ph of a 6.40 × 10-3 m solution of sodium hydroxide, naoh?
Katena32 [7]
POH = - log [OH] 
<span>pOH = - log (6.40 × 10-3) </span>
<span>pOH = 2.19 </span>

<span>pH + pOH = 14 </span>

<span>pH = 14 - pOH </span>
<span>pH = 14 - 2.19 </span>
<span>pH = 11.8</span>

5. A standardized mass was known to weigh exactly 5.0000g. It was weighed on a newly
sergey [27]

Answer:

Absolute error = 0.001

% Error = 002 5

Explanation:

The absolute error is the the difference in the measured value and the actual value of a quantity.

Here the actual value is 5.0000 grams

The measured value is 5.001 grams

Absolute error

5.001 - 5.000\\= 0.001

Percent error

= \frac{AE}{AV}

Where AE stands for absolute error and AV stands for absolute value.

= \frac{0.001}{5.000} * 100\\

= 0.02 %
