Write the overall, balanced molecular equation and indicate which element is oxidized and which is reduced for the following rea
REY [17]

Explanation:

Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3 (aq)

Overall, balanced molecular equation

Mg(s) + Cr(C2H3O2)3(aq) --> Mg(C2H3O2)3(aq) + Cr(s)

To identify if an element has been reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number is observed in both the reactant and product phase.

An increase in oxidation number denotes that the element has been oxidized.

A decrease in oxidation number denotes that the element has been reduced.

Oxidation number of Mg:

Reactant - 0

Product - +3

Oxidation number of Cr:

Reactant - +3

Product - 0

Note: C2H3O2 is actually acetate ion; CH3COO- The oxidatioon number of C, H and O do not change.

Oxidized : Mg

Reduced : Cr

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are no longer used as refrigerants because they destroy the ozone layer. Trichlorofluoromethane (CCl₃
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan is 83.516 J/molK.

Explanation:

Entropy :It is defined as amount of energy which is unable to do work or the measurement of randomness or disorderedness in a system.

S=\frac{Q}{T(Kelvins)}

Molar heat of molar vaporization of Trichlorofluoromethane = 24.8 kJ/mol

Temperature at which Trichlorofluoromethan boils , T= 296.95 K

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan :

=\frac{24.8 kJ/mol}{296.95 K}=0.083516 kJ/mol K = 83.516 J/molK

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan is 83.516 J/molK.

quizlet a basement is successfully sealed so that more radon may not enter the space, but 5.7×107 radon atoms are already trappe
12345 [234]

After 25 days, it remains radon 5.9x10^5 atoms.

Half-life is the time required for a quantity (in this example number of radioactive radon) to reduce to half its initial value.

N(Ra) = 5.7×10^7; initial number of radon atoms

t1/2(Ra) = 3.8 days; the half-life of the radon is 3.8 days

n = 25 days / 3.8 days

n = 6.58; number of half-lifes of radon

N1(Ra) = N(Ra) x (1/2)^n

N1(Ra) = 5.7×10^7 x (1/2)^6.58

N1(Ra) = 5.9x10^5; number of radon atoms after 25 days

The half-life is independent of initial concentration (size of the sample).

Which statement is true?
AleksandrR [38]

Exothermic reaction is where there is release of energy during a reaction

The enthalpy of exothermic reaction is negative

The relation between energy of products, reactants and enthalpy of reaction is

Enthalpy of reaction =  sum of enthalpy of formation of products - sum of enthalpy of formation of reactants .

As enthalpy of reaction is negative, it means the enthalpy of products is less than the enthalpy of reactants  so answer is :

In an exothermic reaction the energy of the product is less than the energy of the reactants.
