Answer:

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.

What is the effect of high activation energy on a chemical reaction?

alex41 [277]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

It makes the reaction harder to start

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

<em><u>Activation energy is minimum amount of energy that is required for a reaction to start. Activation energy determines the rate of a chemical reaction such that the higher the activation energy, the lower the rate of chemical reaction and vice versa.</u></em>
The source of activation energy needed to push chemical reactions forward is obtained from the surroundings. Catalyst speed up chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. Therefore, catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering its activation energy.

Zinc metal and aqueous silver nitrate react to give Zn(NO3)2(aq) plus silver metal. When 5.00 g of Zn(s) and solution containing

Fittoniya [83]

Answer : The percent yield is, 83.51 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of Zn = 5.00 g

Mass of $AgNO_3$ = 25.00 g

Molar mass of Zn = 65.38 g/mole

Molar mass of $AgNO_3$ = 168.97 g/mole

Molar mass of Ag = 107.87 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Zn and $AgNO_3$ .

$\text{ Moles of }Zn=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Zn}{\text{ Molar mass of }Zn}=\frac{5.00g}{65.38g/mole}=0.0765moles$

$\text{ Moles of }AgNO_3=\frac{\text{ Mass of }AgNO_3}{\text{ Molar mass of }AgNO_3}=\frac{25.00g}{168.97g/mole}=0.1479moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Zn+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2+2Ag$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $AgNO_3$ react with 1 mole of $Zn$

So, 0.1479 moles of $AgNO_3$ react with $\frac{0.1479}{2}=0.07395$ moles of $Zn$

From this we conclude that, $Zn$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $AgNO_3$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $Ag$

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $AgNO_3$ react to give 2 mole of $Ag$

So, 0.1479 moles of $AgNO_3$ react to give 0.1479 moles of $Ag$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $Ag$

$\text{ Mass of }Ag=\text{ Moles of }Ag\times \text{ Molar mass of }Ag$

$\text{ Mass of }Ag=(0.1479moles)\times (107.87g/mole)=15.95g$

Theoretical yield of $Ag$ = 15.95 g

Experimental yield of $Ag$ = 13.32 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield.

$\% \text{ yield}=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }Ag}{\text{ Theretical yield of }Ag}\times 100$

$\% \text{ yield}=\frac{13.32g}{15.95g}\times 100=83.51\%$

Therefore, the percent yield is, 83.51 %

♔♔Why is mass conserved in chemical reactions?❦❦❦

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Atoms are not created or destroyed by chemical reactions. Also, matter is neither created nor destroyed, it just changes form. Matter cannot be created or destroyed. ... The Law of Conservation of Mass states that in a chemical reaction the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants. The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.

For example, when wood burns, the mass of the soot, ashes, and gases equals the original mass of the charcoal and the oxygen when it first reacted. So the mass of the product equals the mass of the reactant.
