Answer:

kinetically stable.

Explanation:

When we say that a system is thermodynamically unstable, it means that there is still a state in which the system is expected to have lower energy than it currently has. A thermodynamically unstable system is yet to attain equilibrium hence it can still undergo further chemical processes in order to attain thermodynamic stability.

When we say that a system is kinetically stable, it means that the activation energy or energy barrier for the reaction system is high. Thus reactants are not easily converted into products. The reaction system remains the same for a long while without change.

Finally, when a reaction is thermodynamically unstable (spontaneous) but no change is observed, the reaction is kinetically stable.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the intoxicant in alcoholic beverages, is also used to make other organic compounds. In concentrated sulfuri
Fed [463]

Answer:

a) 88.48%

b) 0.05625 mol

Explanation:

2CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃(l) + H₂O(g)         Reaction 1

CH₃CH₂OH(l) → CH₂═CH₂(g) + H₂O(g)                        Reaction 2

a) CH₃CH₂OH = 46.0684 g/mol

   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ = 74.12 g/mol

1 mol CH₃CH₂OH ______  46.0684 g

x                            ______   50.0 g

x = 1.085 mol  CH₃CH₂OH

1 mol  CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ ______  74.12 g g

y                           ______   35.9 g

y = 0.48 mol   CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

100% yield _____ 0.5425 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w                _____  0.48 mol CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃

w = 88.48%

b) Only 0.96 mol of ethanol reacted to form diethyl ether. This means that 0.125 mol of ethanol did not react. 45% of 0.125 mol reacted to form ethylene. Therefore, 0.05625 mol of ethanol reacted by the side reaction (reaction 2). Since 1 mol of ethanol leads to 1 mol of ethylene, 0.05625 mol of ethanol produces 0.05625 mol of ethylene.

When a redox reaction that takes place in an acidic solution involves an oxygen imbalance, oxygen should be balanced by adding _
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Balancing redox reactions:

Oxygen should be balanced by adding H_{2}O  as needed, while hydrogen should be balanced by adding H^{+}.

What is a redox reaction?

Redox reactions, also known as oxidation-reduction reactions, involve the simultaneous oxidation and reduction of two different reactants.

The Half-Equation Method is one technique used to balance redox processes. The equation is divided into two half-equations using this technique: one for oxidation and one for reduction.

By changing the coefficients and adding H_{2}O, H^{+}, and e^{-} in that order, each reaction is brought into equilibrium:

  1. By putting the right number of water (H_{2}O) molecules on the other side of the equation, the oxygen atoms are brought into balance.
  2. By adding H^{+} ions to the opposing side of the equation, one can balance the hydrogen atoms (including those added in step 2 to balance the oxygen atom).
  3. Total the fees for each side. Add enough electrons (e^{-}) to the more positive side to make them equal. (As a general rule, e^{-} and  H^{+}are nearly always on the same side.)
  4. The e^{-} on either side must be made equal; if not, they must be multiplied by the lowest common multiple (LCM) in order to make them equal.
  5. One balanced equation is created by adding the two half-equations and canceling out the electrons. Additionally, common terms should be eliminated.
  6. Now that the equation has been verified, it can be balanced.
