In the following acid-base reaction,

Chemistry

Montano1993 [528]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

conjugate base

Explanation:

The following equation is given in this question:

HCI(g) + H2O(l) → H30+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

In accordance to Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, an acid is a substance that loses an hydrogen ion (H+) or proton in an aqueous solution. This theory further indicated that the substance formed after an acid loses its hydrogen ion is called a CONJUGATE BASE.

In the above equation, HCl is the acid because it loses H+ while the substance formed after the loss of H+, which is Cl- is a conjugate base.

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.

For which of the following activities might you want to hire a chemist?
Basile [38]

Answer:

OPTION (A) : Testing a rock sample for gold content

Explanation:

For testing a rock sample of gold content you will need a Chemist. To test the material, the sample is rubbed on black stone which will leave a mark on the stone. This mark is tested by applying aqua fortis i.e nitric acid on the mark. If the mark gets dissolve then the material is not gold. If the mark sustain the it is further tested by applying aqua regia i.e nitric acid and hydrochloric acid which will prove the sample is of gold if it gets dissolve on using hydrochloric acid. The purity of the sample can be checked by differing the concentration of the aqua regia and comparing it with the gold material of the known purity.

What happens when an electron absorbs energy
Eduardwww [97]
When an electron absorbs energy, it will move up from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, called the "excited state" of the negatively-charged subatomic particle.<span> However, the absorbed energy is released within a small interval of time and the electron moves down to its "ground state."</span>
