Answer:

Oxygen is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced.

Explanation:

Let's consider the redox reaction during the electrolysis of water in an electrolytic cell.

2 H₂O ⇒ 2 H₂ + O₂

The corresponding half-reactions are:

2 e⁻ + 2 H₂O ⇒ H₂ + 2 OH⁻

2 H₂O ⇒ O₂ + 4 H⁺ + 4 e⁻

Oxygen is oxidized since its oxidation number increases from -2 to 0.

Hydrogen is reduced since its oxidation number decreases from +1 to 0.

Examine the given reaction. NH4NO3(s) → NH4+(aq) + NO3–(aq) ΔH° = 25.45 kJ/mol ΔS° = 108.7 J/mol·K Which of the given is correct
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

B)−6,942 J /mol

Explanation:

At constant temperature and pressure, you cand define the change in Gibbs free energy, ΔG, as:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Where ΔH is enthalpy, T absolute temperature and ΔS change in entropy.

Replacing (25°C = 273 + 25 = 298K; 25.45kJ/mol = 25450J/mol):

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔG = 25450J/mol - 298K×108.7J/molK

ΔG = -6942.6J/mol

Right solution is:

<h3>B)−6,942 J /mol</h3>

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP! PLEASE ANSWER IN YOUR OWN WORDS. :)
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The atomic structure of an atom involves 3 subatomic particles: the proton, neutron, and electron. The proton has a positive charge and is found in the core of the atom, with the neutral neutrons that also have a mass of 1 amu (atomic mass unit) just like the proton. The nucleus is the core of the atom and contains protons and neutrons and is practically the only area with mass. The electron cloud is basically an area surrounding the nucleus and it contains negative charged electrons. Electrons have no mass but are charged with a negative charge that keeps them. I really hope this helps :)

Explanation:

There is a helpful video that actually explains the structure of an atom in a rather fun way in just 2 minutes. It really does help big time and it's kinda funny if you look it up on YT and watch:

WKRP: Venus Explains the Atom

Have a wonderful great day :)

Which of the following compounds' solubility will not be affected by a low pH in solution?
Whitepunk [10]

The compound solubility which will not be affected by a low pH in solution is AgBr.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of any solution and according to the pH scale 0 to 6.9 shows the acidity, 7 is neutral and 7.1 to 14 shows the basicity of any solution.

  • AgBr is sparingly soluble in water and not soluble in acids, so if we low the pH of the solution towards the acidity its solubility not affected.
  • NiCO₃ is a basic salt and and shows solubility in the acidic medium so change in pH will affect its solubility.
  • Co(OH)₂ it is also a basic compound and shows its solubility in the acidic medium and get affected when change in pH takes place.
  • PbF₂ is a strong base and also shows solubility in the acidic medium easily, so get affected when change in pH takes place.
  • In CuS, sulphide is basic ion and whole compound shows solubility in the acidic medium and get affected when low pH of solution takes place.

AgBr is not affected by a low pH in solution.

What condition must be met for a battery to be rechargeable?
Neko [114]

Answer:

D. The electrochemical reaction of the battery must be reversible.

Explanation:

The batteries are based on the production of an electric flux given by a<u> redox reaction</u>. This reaction is <u>spontaneous</u> and is<u> thermodynamically favored</u>.

Thus, when the reactants to the reaction are finished, the flow of current stops and ends. Therefore, when current is administered from another source, the reaction <u>changes its direction</u> and reagents that were previously consumed begin to occur. Therefore the condition for it to be <u>rechargeable</u> is that the reaction can go <u>forward or backward</u>, that is, it is <u>reversible</u>.
