Answer:

Vinegar contains acetic acid which removes this coating. When the protective coating is removed, oxygen in the atmosphere can reach the iron in the steel wool and a chemical reaction called oxidation occurs. ... This reaction is also an exothermic reaction. It creates heat energy

Vinegar incorporates acetic acid which gets rid of this coating. When the defensive coating is removed, oxygen in the environment can reach the iron in the metal wool and a chemical reaction called oxidation occurs. This reaction is additionally an exothermic reaction. It creates warmth energy.  

Hope it helped! Have a nice day! <3

Consider the reaction ch3oh(l)→ch4(g)+1/2o2(g). part a calculate δrh∘298.
Vsevolod [243]
To determine the standard heat of reaction, ΔHrxn°, let's apply the Hess' Law.

ΔHrxn° = ∑(ν×ΔHf° of products) - ∑(ν×ΔHf° of reactants)
where
ν si the stoichiometric coefficient of the substances in the reaction
ΔHf° is the standard heat of formation

The ΔHf° for the substances are the following:
CH₃OH(l) = -238.4 kJ/mol
CH₄(g) = -74.7 kJ/mol
O₂(g) = 0 kJ/mol

ΔHrxn° = (1 mol×-74.7 kJ/mol) - ∑(1 mol×-238.4 kJ/mol)
ΔHrxn° = +163.7 kJ

What is the oxidation half-reaction for this unbalanced redox equation? cr2o72– + fe2+ → cr3+ + fe3+ cr3+ → cr2o72– cr2o72– → cr
KatRina [158]

Answer:

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

Explanation:

The balanced oxidation half equation is;

6Fe^2+(aq) -------> 6Fe^3+(aq) + 6e

A redox reaction is actually an acronym for oxidation-reducation reaction. Since the both reactions are complementary, there can't be oxidation without reduction and there can't be reduction without oxidation.

The main characteristic of redox reactions is that electrons are transferred in the process. The number of electrons transferred is usually deduced from the balanced reaction equation. For this reaction, the balanced overall reaction equation is;

Cr2O7^2–(aq) + 6Fe^2+(aq) +14H^+(aq)→ 2Cr^3+(aq) + 6Fe^3+ (aq) + 7H2O(l)

It is clear from the equation above that six electrons were transferred. Thus six Fe^2+ ions lost one electron each in the oxidation half equation as shown in the balanced oxidation half equation above.

Which answer best describes what is happening in the following reaction?
NISA [10]

A.  This is not a redox reaction. It is an example of combustion.

<h3>Combustion reaction of hydrocarbon</h3>

During the combustion of a hydrocarbon, the hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to create carbon dioxide, water, and heat.

<h3>Example of combustion reaction</h3>

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Thus, we can conclude that, this is not a redox reaction. It is an example of combustion.

Reacting Solutions of Aluminum Chloride with Potassium Hydroxide
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

1Al2(SO4)3 + 3ZnCl2 → 2AlCl3 + 3ZnSO4

The coefficients represents moles. There is 1 mole of Aluminum Sulfate, 3 moles of Zinc(II) Chloride, 2 moles of Aluminum Chloride, and 3 moles of Zinc(II) Sulfate.

Now add all the coefficients/moles.

9 is the sum of all the coefficients.
