Which quantities are conserved in all oxidation-reduction reactions?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Simora [160]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Mass and charge is conserved

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, matter is neither created or destroyed. With the exception of nuclear reactions where mass is converted to energy thereby leading to an apparent loss in mass, this law applies to chemical reactions.

A redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction which involves a transfer of electrons. In a redox reaction, the mass of reactant particles is conserved. Also, as electrons are transferred between atoms, one donates and the other accepts. The charge of atoms depends on this gain or loss of electrons. A gain of electrons reduced the charge of an atom whereas a loss of electrons increases the charge. This two processes occur concurrently, therefore, charge is also conserved.

What else is produced during the combustion of butane, C4H10?
denpristay [2]

Another product: CO₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂⇒ 8__+ 10H₂O

Required

product compound

Solution

In the combustion of hydrocarbons there can be 2 kinds of products

If there is excess Oxygen, you will get Carbon dioxide(CO₂) and water in the product

If Oxygen is low, you'll get Carbon monoxide(CO) and water

Or in other ways, we can use the principle of the law of conservation of mass which is also related to the number of atoms in the reactants and in the products

if we look at the reaction above, there are C atoms on the left (reactants), so that in the product there will also be C atoms with the same number of C atoms on the left

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂⇒ 8CO₂+ 10H₂O

Write a balanced equation for the following reaction:
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

3AgCl + Na₃PO₄ —> 3NaCl + Ag₃PO₄

The coefficients are 3, 1, 3, 1

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Silver chloride reacts with sodium phosphate to yield sodium chloride and silver phosphate. This can be written as follow:

AgCl + Na₃PO₄ —> NaCl + Ag₃PO₄

The above equation can be balanced as follow:

AgCl + Na₃PO₄ —> NaCl + Ag₃PO₄

There are 3 atoms of Na on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of NaCl as shown below:

AgCl + Na₃PO₄ —> 3NaCl + Ag₃PO₄

There are 3 atoms of Cl on the right side and 1 atom on the left. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of AgCl as shown below:

3AgCl + Na₃PO₄ —> 3NaCl + Ag₃PO₄

Thus, the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are 3, 1, 3, 1
