Do free electrons appear anywhere in the balanced equation for a redox reaction?
Andru [333]

Yes, free electrons appear in balanced redox reaction equations. However, this is only true for half-reactions. This is because redox reactions primarily involve the transfer of electrons, which are better visualized if explicitly shown in the balanced reactions. In reduction reactions, electrons are placed on the left side of the equation. Oxidation reactions show electrons on the right side of the equation.


Explanation:

A half reaction is either the chemical reaction or reduction reaction part of an oxidoreduction reaction. A half reaction is obtained by considering the amendment in chemical reaction states of individual substances concerned within the oxidoreduction reaction. Half-reactions are usually used as a way of leveling oxidoreduction reactions.The half-reaction on the anode, wherever chemical reaction happens, is Zn(s) = Zn2+ (aq) + (2e-).

The metal loses 2 electrons to create Zn2+. The half-reaction on the cathode wherever reduction happens is Cu2+ (aq) + 2e- = Cu(s).

Here, the copper ions gain electrons and become solid copper.

At 400 K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction Br2 (g) + Cl2 (g) ↔ 2BrCl (g) is Kp = 7.0. A closed vessel at 400 K is charg
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(a) The equilibrium partial pressure of BrCl (g) will be greater than 2.00 atm.

Explanation:

Q is the coefficient of the reaction and is calculated the same of the way of the equilibrium constant, but using the concentrations or partial pressures in any moment of the reaction, so, for the reaction given:

Q = (pBrCl)²/(pBr₂*pCl₂)

Q = 2²/(1x1)

Q = 4

As Q < Kp, the reaction didn't reach the equilibrium, and the value must increase. As we can notice by the equation, Q is directly proportional to the partial pressure of BrCl, so it must increase, and be greater than 2.00 atm in the equilibrium.

The partial pressures of Br₂ and Cl₂ must decrease, so they will be smaller than 1.00 atm. And the total pressure must not change because of the stoichiometry of the reaction: there are 2 moles of the gas reactants for 2 moles of the gas products.

Because is a reversible reaction, it will not go to completion, it will reach an equilibrium, and as discussed above, the partial pressures will change.

explain how energy changes from one form to another in a exothermic reaction. in an endothermic reaction.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Exothermic reaction: In exothermic reaction, energy is transferred to the surroundings, and the surrounding temperature increases, this is known as exothermic reaction. In other words energy exits in exothermic reaction. Some example of exothermic reactions are:

1) Neutralisation reaction.

2) Combustion reaction.

3) Some oxidation reaction.

Endothermic reaction: In endothermic reaction, energy is taken in from the surrounding, and the surrounding temperature decreases, this is known as endothermic reaction. In other words energy enters in endothermic reaction. Some example of exothermic reactions are:

1) Thermal decomposition.

2) Reaction between citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate.

Burning alcohol for fuel is a very efficient process. Please select the best answer from the choices provided
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Burning alcohol for fuel has been used throughout history. There are some alcohols that are the best ones to use as fuels because of their nature and can be synthesized chemicaly or biologicaly. Except, some of those alcohol also has a bad effect when burned for fuel as it would cause serious negative chemical effects when exposed to the human body such as blindness or death. Therefore, the best answer would be False.
