Which is the most likely to be reduced?

Chemistry
1 answer:
NISA [10]2 years ago
3 0

Answer : The correct option is, Zn^{2+}

Explanation :

  • Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. That means, the loss of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, oxidation reaction occurs when a reactant losses electrons in the reaction.

  • Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. That means, the gain of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, reduction reaction occurs when a reactant gains electrons in the reaction.

According to the electrochemical series, Zn^{2+} most likely to be reduced because

Hence, the ion most likely to be reduced is Zn^{2+}.

A negative ion is (larger/smaller) than its parent atom.<br> Why?
Kay [80]

Answer:

When an atom attracts extra electrons it becomes a negative ion. The negative ion is larger than the original atom. The positive nucleus remains the same, with the same attractive force. However, this attractive force is now pulling on more electrons and therefore has less effect.

Or

Positive ions are formed by removing one or more electrons from the outermost region of the atom. The opposite is true of negative ions. When electrons are added to form an anion, the increased electron-electron repulsions cause the electrons to spread out more in space. Thus, anions are larger than their parent atoms.

Look at sample problem 19.10 in the 8th ed Silberberg book. Write the Ksp expression. Find the concentrations of the ions you ne
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

CaF_2 \to Ca^{2+} + 2F^-

Ksp = 3.2 \times 10^{-11}

no of moles of Ca^{2+} = 0.01 L × 0.0010 mol/L

no of moles of Ca^{2+} = 1 \times 10^{-5} \ mol

no of moles of F^- = 0.01 L × 0.00010 mol/L

no of moles of F^- = 1 \times 10^{-6}\ mol

Total volume = 0.02 L

[Ca^{2+}}] = \dfrac{1\times10^{-5} \ mol}{0.02 \ L} \\ \\  \\  \[[Ca^{2+}}] = 0.0005 \ mol/L

[F^{-}] = \dfrac{(1\times 10^{-6} \ mol)}{0.02 \ L}

[F^{-}] = 5 \times 10^{-5}  \ mol/L

Q = [Ca^{2+}][F^-]^2 \\ \\ Q = 0.0005 \times (5\times 10^{-5})^2 \\ \\ Q = 1.25 \times 10^{-12}

Since Q<ksp, then there will no be any precipitation of CaF2

Which statement correctly describes an atom of the element helium? (9)
Luden [163]

C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.
