Balance each of the following in BASE: Show work
kupik [55]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution are,

(A) 2CrO_4^{2-}+8H_2O+3Cu\rightarrow 2Cr(OH)_3+4OH^-+3Cu(OH)_2

(B) 2NO_2+2OH^-\rightarrow NO_3^-+H_2O+NO_2^-

(C) 4Zn+7OH^-+NO_3^-+6H_2O\rightarrow 4[Zn(OH)_4]^{2-}+NH_3

(D) Br_2+12OH^-+5Br_2\rightarrow 2BrO_3^-+6H_2O+10Br^-

Explanation :

<u>(A) The given chemical reaction is :</u>

CrO_4^{2-}(aq)+Cu(s)\rightarrow Cr(OH)_3(s)+Cu(OH)_2(s)

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction : CrO_4^{2-}+4H_2O+3e^-\rightarrow Cr^{3+}+8OH^-

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 3 and reduction reaction by 2 then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,

2CrO_4^{2-}+8H_2O+3Cu\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}+16OH^-+3Cu^{2+}

or,

2CrO_4^{2-}+8H_2O+3Cu\rightarrow 2Cr(OH)_3+4OH^-+3Cu(OH)_2

<u>(B) The given chemical reaction is :</u>

NO_2(g)\rightarrow NO_3^-(aq)+NO_2^-(aq)

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : NO_2+2OH^-\rightarrow NO_3^-+H_2O+1e^-

Reduction : NO_2+1e^-\rightarrow NO_2^-

The electrons in both the reactions are balanced. Now added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,

2NO_2+2OH^-\rightarrow NO_3^-+H_2O+NO_2^-

<u>(C) The given chemical reaction is :</u>

Zn(s)+NO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow Zn(OH)_4^{2-}(aq)+NH_3(g)

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : Zn+4OH^-\rightarrow [Zn(OH)_4]^{2-}+2e^-

Reduction : NO_3^-+6H_2O+8e^-\rightarrow NH_3+9OH^-

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 4 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,

4Zn+7OH^-+NO_3^-+6H_2O\rightarrow 4[Zn(OH)_4]^{2-}+NH_3

<u>(D) The given chemical reaction is :</u>

Br_2(l)\rightarrow BrO_3^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : Br_2+12OH^-\rightarrow 2BrO_3^-+6H_2O+10e^-

Reduction : Br_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2Br^-

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the reduction reaction by 5 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,

Br_2+12OH^-+5Br_2\rightarrow 2BrO_3^-+6H_2O+10Br^-

the reaction of two gases in a sealed container produces a different gas and the system reaches equilibrium. what change in conc
telo118 [61]

Answer: Increasing the concentration of a reactant or decreasing the concentration of the product.

Explanation: For the equilibrium of the reaction to shift to the left, we must decrease the concentration of a reactant or increase the concentration of the product. This is based on Le Chatelier's principle which describes the effect on the equilibrium of changes in concentration or pressure of a product or a reactant. Adding more products in a system would disturb the equilibrium thus it would cause to reestablish it by shifting the reaction to the left producing the reactants. This would also be the same when you decrease the number of reactants in the system.

Rank the following salts in order of decreasing pH of their 0.1 M aqueous solutions.(a) FeCl2, FeCl3, MgCl2, KClO2 .(b) NH4Br, N
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

a) FeCl2, FeCl3, MgCl2, KClO2.

KClO2 --> K+ + ClO2-; ClO2- will hydrolyse to form HClO +OH-

Mg+2, Fe+2 and Fe+3 ions will form acidic solutions, since theyfom slightly amount of

Mg+2 + 2H2O <-> Mg(OH)2 + 2H+

Fe+2 + 2H2O <-> Fe(OH)2 + 2H+

Fe+3 + 3H2O <-> Fe(OH)3 + 3H+

Therefore;

decreasing pH is high pH to low pH:

KClO2 > MgCl2 > FeCl2 > FeCl3

b) NH4Br, NaBrO2, NaBr, NaClO2.

NH4Br is acidic, forms NH4+ and NH4+ dnates H+ to form NH3 andH+

NaBrO2 is basic, forms Na+ + BrO2- then H2O + BrO2- HBrO2

NABr is neutral, NaClO2 is basics, forms Na+ + ClO2-then H2O + ClO2- HClO2

decreasig pH:

NaClO2 > NaBrO2 > NaBr >NH4Br

Note that HClO2 is stronger acid than HBrO2, therefore, expectmore HBrO2 formation

NaBrO2 > NaClO2 > NaBr >NH4Br

Using the example of an ambulance, explain the Doppler Effect. Infer why the doppler effect can or cannot occur in all waves. PL
kozerog [31]

Answer:

When the ambulance is coming towardss you the waves are smushed together and sound higher pitched but then it passes you and when tracveling away the waves are scretched out so the whee whoo sounds lower and that is because of the doppler effect
