Which of these half-reactions represents reduction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
gogolik [260]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: The half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.

  • Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}
  • MnO^{-}_{4} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

Explanation:

A half-reaction where addition of electrons take place or a reaction where decrease in oxidation state of an element  takes place is called reduction-half reaction.

For example, the oxidation state of Cr in Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} is +6 which is getting converted into +3, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.

Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 3 e^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}

Similarly, oxidation state of Mn in MnO^{-}_{4} is +7 which is getting converted into +2, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.

MnO^{2-}_{4} + 5 e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

Thus, we can conclude that half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.

  • Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}
  • MnO^{-}_{4} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}

How many joules of heat are lost when 150.0 g of steam are cooled from 124. C to 86 C?
Alinara [238K]

 The  amount   of  joules  of heat  that are lost when 150.0 g of steam  are cooled  from 124 °c to 86 °c  is = -11343  joules


 calculation

heat(Q) = mass(m) x specific heat capacity(C) x  change  in temperature     (ΔT)

  where,

Q=? joules

M=150.0 g

C for steam = 1.99 j/g/°c

ΔT= 86°c-124°c = -38°c


Q  is therefore = 150.0 g x  1.99 j/g/°c   x -38°c =-11343 joules

Give the change in condition to go from a gas to a solid. Group of answer choices cool or increase pressure cool or reduce press
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

cool or increase pressure

Explanation:

  • For a gas to form solid. There must be reduced heat and pressure. The deposition of gas into solid occurs through the removal of thermal energy. The air looses thermal energy and changes into solid.

What is the molarity of a solution made by mixing 2.80 g of koh with enough water make 750 ml of solution?
Travka [436]
<span>Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. We calculate as follows:

2.80 g ( 1 mol / 56.11 g ) = 0.05 mol KOH

Molarity = 0.05 mol KOH / 750 mL ( 1 L / 1000 mL )
Molarity = 0.07 M

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Bond [772]
We are given with the following pairs:
<span>carbon and oxygen
hydrogen and helium
gold and silver
and we are asked if there is a pair that will produce the same spectrum. The answer is
</span>No two elements produce the same spectrum.This is because a light spectrum is unique to each element.

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-
hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written betweenZn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)

First Formula would be ZnF_{2}

Second empirical formula is between Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)

Second Formula would be Zn_{2}O_{2}

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so Zn_{2}O_{2} would be written as ZnO

Third empirical formula is between Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)

Third Formula would be :NiF_{4}

Forth empirical formula is between Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)

Forth Formula would be : Ni_{2}O_{4} or NiO_{2}

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as NiO_{2}.

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}
