The oxidation half reaction of the reaction given above would be: Ca → Ca + 2e−. Oxidation is the loss of electrons of an element while its counterpart is called the reduction which gains the electrons that has been lost. Hope this answers the question.
Answer:
∆H > 0
∆Srxn <0
∆G >0
∆Suniverse <0
Explanation:
We are informed that the reaction is endothermic. An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed hence ∆H is positive at all temperatures.
Similarly, absorption of energy leads to a decrease in entropy of the reaction system. Hence the change in entropy of the reaction ∆Sreaction is negative at all temperatures.
The change in free energy for the reaction is positive at all temperatures since ∆S reaction is negative then from ∆G= ∆H - T∆S, we see that given the positive value of ∆H, ∆G must always return a positive value at all temperatures.
Since entropy of the surrounding= - ∆H/T, given that ∆H is positive, ∆S surrounding will be negative at all temperatures. This is so because an endothermic reaction causes the surrounding to cool down.
pH. 10 because it is strong base
Temperature will raise and water will evaporate
All are true except the statement that ions are formed by changing the number protons in an atom’s nucleus.
A neutral atom contains the same number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge).
If there are <em>more electrons than protons</em>, the atom becomes a <em>negative ion</em>.
If there are <em>fewer electrons than protons</em>, the atom becomes a <em>positive ion</em>.
The protons are in the nucleus, where we can’t easily get at them. The <em>electrons are outside the nucleus</em>, so other chemicals can easily get at them and either remove them or add to their number.
<em>Metals</em> have only a few valence electrons, so it is fairly easy to remove them and <em>form positive ions</em>.
