How do you balance redox equations in acidic solutions?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

First, balance the half-reactions

Second, equalize the electrons

Third,add two reaction equations to get final answer

Explanation:

For example

H₂C₂0₄ + MnO⁻₄ ---------->CO₂+Mn²⁺

(i) Balancing the half reactions

H₂C₂O₄-------->2CO₂+2H⁺+2e⁻

5e⁻ +8H⁺+MnO₄⁻----------->Mn²⁺+4H₂O

(ii)

Equalizing the electrons

5H₂C₂O₄--------->10CO₂+10H⁺+10e⁻ ---here there is a factor of 5

10e⁻+16H⁺+2MnO₄⁻--------->2Mn²⁺+8H₂O -----here there is a factor of 2

(iii)

Add the two where electrons and some Hydrogen ions will cancel out

5H₂C₂O₄+6H⁺+2MnO₄⁻---->10CO₂+2Mn²⁺+8H₂O

If an ocean current is moving northward from Antarctica and up the coast of Africa, the climate of the coastal land would be....

Illusion [34]

Answer:

I would say a cooled

Explanation:

because yeah it's going to be cold when it travels from Antarctica but then it's going on towards Africa and yeah the water is going to get warmth but it's going to cool the land of Antarctica because it's so dry and hot and humid but the water is going to be more warmed because Antarctica the water is freezing so you're trying to ask the temperature of the water it'd be more warm if you're trying to ask kind of like the temperature of the land it would be cooled

Calculate ΔH and ΔStot when two copper blocks, each of mass 10.0 kg, one at 100°C and the other at 0°C, are placed in contact in

ira [324]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

m = 10.0 kg = 10,000 g (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

Initial temp. of block 1, $T_{1} = 100^{o}C$ = (100 + 273) K = 373 K

Initial temp. of block 2, $T_{2} = 0^{o}C$ = (0 + 273) K = 273 K

So, heat released by block 1 = heat gained by block 2

$mC \Delta T = mC \times \Delta T$

$10000 g \times 0.385 \times (T_{f} - 100)^{o}C = 10000 g \times 0.385 \times (0 - T_{f})^{o}C$

$T_{f} - 100^{o}C = 0^{o}C - T_{f}$

$2T_{f} = 100^{o}C$

$T_{f} = 50^{o}C$

Convert temperature into kelvin as (50 + 273) K = 323 K.

Also, we know that the relation between enthalpy and temperature change is as follows.

$\Delta H = mC \Delta T$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times 323 K$

= 1243550 J

or, = 1243.5 kJ

Now, calculate entropy change for block 1 as follows.

$\Delta S_{1} = mC ln \frac{T_{f}}{T_{i}}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times ln \frac{323}{373}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times -0.143$

= -554.12 J/K

Now, entropy change for block 2 is as follows.

$\Delta S_{2} = mC ln \frac{T_{f}}{T_{i}}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times ln \frac{323}{273}$

= $10000 g \times 0.385 J/K g \times 0.168$

= 647.49 J/K

Hence, total entropy will be sum of entropy change of both the blocks.

$\Delta S_{total} = \Delta S_{1} + \Delta S_{2}$

= -554.12 J/K + 647.49 J/K

= 93.37 J/K

Thus, we can conclude that for the given reaction $\Delta H$ is 1243.5 kJ and $\Delta S_{total}$ is 93.37 J/K.

_____ stars can be between one thousand times dimmer and one million times brighter than the Sun.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The answer is

D. Main sequence

Explanation:

Main sequence stars can be between one thousand times dimmer and one million times brighter than the Sun.

What is main sequence stars?

A main sequence star is any star that is fusing hydrogen in its core and has a stable balance of outward pressure from core nuclear fusion and gravitational forces pushing inward.
