Cr2O3+ 2Al -----------> 2Cr+ Al2O3
Cr2O3--------2Cr.
( oxidation no. of cr +3 to +1 means hain of electron so it act as oxidizing agent)
similarly,
2Al------> Al2O3
( oxidation no. of Al +1 to +3 means loss of electron so it act as reducing agent)
A Diatom is under the phylum of Chrysophyta with the following characteristics:
1) Unicellular but often colonial
2) manufactures the carbohydrate chrysolaminarin
3) has unique double -shells of opaline silica
4) contains chlorophylls a and c
They are abundant in sea and fresh water where they serve as producers.
Diatoms are protists that have glass walls. Just like plants, they carry out cytokinesis. They are photosynthesizers with hard shells of silica. An example of a Diatom is Diatoma.
Diatoms are divided into two major groups, one with radial symmetry and the other with bilateral symmetry.
We are asked to find the value of ΔG°rxn from the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products. We can use the following formula:
ΔG°rxn = -RTlnK
The value of R = 8.314 J/Kmol, T = 298.15 K and we are given the equilibrium constant Keq = 2.82.
The question provides equilibrium concentrations and then asks to find ΔG°rxn when more of a product is added to the reaction mixture. However, you are asked to find ΔG after the reaction has settled down and reached equilibrium once more. Therefore, we can simply use Keq = 2.82 still and solve for ΔG.
ΔG°rxn = -(8.314 J/Kmol)(298.15 K)(ln(2.82))
ΔG°rxn = -2570 J/mol
ΔG°rxn = -2.57 kJ/mol
Under equilibrium conditions at standard temperature and pressures, the value of ΔG°rxn = -2.57 kJ/mol.
