Answer:

Oxidation half-reaction : Na(s) → Na⁺ + 1 e-

Reduction half-reaction: Cl₂ + 2 e- → 2 Cl⁻

Explanation:

Oxidation half-reaction: solid sodium (Na(s)) has an oxidation number of 0. It loses 1 electron and forms the cation Na⁺. So, the half-reaction is the following:

Na(s) → Na⁺ + 1 e-

Reduction half-reaction: chlorine gas (Cl₂) has an oxidation number of 0. Each atom of Cl gains 1 electron to form two Cl⁻ ions, according to the following half-reaction:

Cl₂ + 2 e- → 2 Cl⁻

The total oxidation-reduction reaction is obtained by adding the oxidation half-reaction multiplied by 2 (to balance the electrons) and the reduction half-reaction, as follows:

2 x (Na(s) → Na⁺ + 1 e-)

Cl₂ + 2 e- → 2 Cl⁻

--------------------------------

2Na(s) + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

Distinguish between single and double replacement reactions and give an example of<br> each.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

i think this is right!

Explanation:

An example of a single replacement reaction occurs when potassium (K) reacts with water (H2O). A colorless solid compound named potassium hydroxide (KOH) forms, and hydrogen gas (H2) is set free. The equation for the reaction is: 2K + 2H2O → 2KOH + H.

An example of a double replacement reaction is the reaction between silver nitrate and sodium chloride in water. Both silver nitrate and sodium chloride are ionic compounds. Both reactants dissolve into their ions in aqueous solution.

Li(s)+n2(g)→li3n(s) express your answer as a balanced chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.
elixir [45]
  equation  is   balanced  when  the  number  of  molecules     are  the  equal  in  both  reacting  side  and  the  product side.
Li(s)  +  n2(g) ---> Li3n(s)
From   the  equation  above  the  reaction  is not  balanced  since    the  molecules  are  not  equal  in  both  reacting  side  and  the  product   side.

The reaction  is  balanced   by  adding   6  in  front  of  Li  and  2  infront  of  Li3n
  that  is
 6Li(s)  + n2(g)----->  2Li3n(s)
