Identify the following reaction as oxidation and reduction F2(g)+2e-/2F-(aq)​
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Reduction

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

In given reaction fluorine gas gain two electron and form fluoride ions.

F₂(g) + 2e⁻    →   2F⁻(aq)

The given reaction is reduction because oxidation state is decreased from zero to -1.

During which two minutes time period is the temperature of water changing faster?!
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

2-4 minutes

Explanation:

Fastest changing temperature means larger change in temperature when subtracting final temperature from initial temperature in a given time period (given time period is 2 minutes for all the options)

For 0-2 minutes, our final temperature was 40 (at 2 min) and initial temperature was  20 (at 0 min), thus temperature change was only 20 C.

For 2-4, our final temperature was 80 (at 4 min) and initial temperature was   40 (at 2 min) thus temperature change was 40 C.

For 4-6, our final temperature was 100 (at 6 min) and initial temperature was   80 (at 4 min) thus temperature change was 20 C.

We are not given temperature at 8 min so option D is invalid.

As we can clearly see that in a given 2 minute period, option B has the fastest change because it changed 40C when compared to other options that changed only 20C from starting temperature.

Hope that makes sense.

Predict the sign of the entropy change, ΔS, for the following processes. Explain the reason for each of the predictions.
Nastasia [14]

The sign of the entropy change, ΔS, for the following processes include:

  • I2 (s) + ½ Cl2 (g) ← → ICl (g) - positive
  • 3 Ag (s) + 4 HNO3 (aq) → 3AgNO3 (aq) + NO (g) + 2 H2O (l) - positive
  • Cl2 (g) → Cl2 (l) - negative
  • C5H12 (g) + 8 O2 (g) → 5 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) - negative

What is Entropy?

This is referred to the degree of randomness or disorderliness of a system and is denoted as S.

Entropy change is usually positive when solid or liquid reactant is converted into gas product and vice versa.

Which of the following correctly applies to a catalyst? a. They do not actually participate in the chemical reaction and therefo
lawyer [7]

Answer: option B) They provide an alternate lower energy mechanism by which the reaction proceeds

Explanation:

Catalyst are involved in chemical reaction increasing the rate they occur by lowering the activation energy found in the bound- reactants complex.

The reaction moves forward because the lower energy mechanism when catalyst are added allows for a more easily splitted bond, thus, allowing the formation of products.
