Answer:

C2H3Br + O2 → CO2 + H2O + HBr

Explanation:

The term balancing of chemical reaction equation has a unique meaning in chemistry. What it actually means is to ensure that the number of atoms of each element on the left hand side of reaction equation becomes equal to the number of atoms of the same element on the right hand side of the reaction equation.

When we look at the equation; C2H3Br + O2 → CO2 + H2O + HBr, the number of atoms of each element on the left and right hand sides of the given equation are not the same hence the equation is unbalanced.

If we look at the equation; 2C2H3Br + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O + 2HBr, the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation are now equal, thus the later equation is the balanced version of the former.

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta G^o for the given reaction is -7.84\times 10^4J

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given chemical reaction:

2ClO_2^-(aq.)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2ClO_2(g)+2Cl^-(aq.)

Half reactions for the given cell follows:

<u>Oxidation half reaction:</u> ClO_2^-\rightarrow ClO_2+e^-;E^o_{ClO_2^-/ClO_2}=0.954V  ( × 2)

<u>Reduction half reaction:</u> Cl_2+2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl(g);E^o_{Cl_2/2Cl^-}=1.36V

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=1.36-(0.954)=0.406V

To calculate standard Gibbs free energy, we use the equation:

\Delta G^o=-nFE^o_{cell}

Where,

n = number of electrons transferred = 2

F = Faradays constant = 96500 C

E^o_{cell} = standard cell potential = 0.406 V

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta G^o=-2\times 96500\times 0.406=-78358J=-7.84\times 10^4J

Hence, the \Delta G^o for the given reaction is -7.84\times 10^4J
