Which expression correctly represents a balanced reduction half-reaction?

1 answer:

6 0

For answering for the question, there exists four choices:
1) Na+ + e- -------------- Na
2) Na --------Na+ + e-
3) Cl2 + 2e- ------------ Cl-
4) 2Cl- ---------Cl2 + 2e-

reduction half-reaction general formula is
oxidant + e - or + -------- Product

so in our case the answer is
1) Na+ + e- -------------- Na (exactly balanced)

The reaction of iron with oxygen to form iron oxide is an example of an oxidation–reduction reaction: 4fe + 3o2 → 2fe2o3. in thi

nadya68 [22]

Answer:-

Oxygen gains electrons and is reduced.

Explanation:-

For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is

4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3

When Oxygen is present as oxygen gas, the oxidation number of O is Zero since it is the only element present in Oxygen gas.

Similarly Iron is present in Fe with oxidation number Zero.

In the case of Fe2O3, Oxygen has the oxidation number -2 while Iron has +3.

So the oxidation number of Oxygen goes from Zero to -2.

Since the oxidation number decreases Oxygen is reduced.

Since reduction involves gain of electrons, Oxygen gains electrons.

Which compound contains ionic bonds? 1. N₂O 2.Na2o 3. co 4.CO2

Molodets [167]

Answer:
2. Na2O

Reasoning:
Na (soduim) is the only metal out of all the elements in the answer choices, and is bonded with oxygen, a nonmetal, therefore creating an ionic bond.

Which of the following gases would have the greatest kinetic energy at 300 K?

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

D. All of them would have the same kinetic energy

Explanation:

The expression for the kinetic energy of the gas is:-

$K.E.=\frac{3}{2}\times K\times T$

k is Boltzmann's constant = $1.38\times 10^{-23}\ J/K$

T is the temperature

Since, kinetic energy depends only on the temperature. Thus, at same temperature, at 300 K, all the gases which are $N_2,\ NH_3\ and\ Ar$ will posses same value of kinetic energy.

Consider the anion whose charge is 2- and whose electron configuration is identical to argon. what is the symbol for this anion

AleksAgata [21]

If the ion is negatively charged, anion, it means that it gains two electrons from its surroundings. The number of electrons of an argon (neutral atom) is 18. Two of the electrons in our anion is from the surrounding, so originally it only has 16 electrons.

In the periodic table, the 16th element is sulphur. The chemical symbol of sulphur is S. Thus, the anion is the negatively charged sulphur with chemical symbol of S2-.
