EXPERIMENT 1: Identify the oxidation and reduction half-reactions that occur in

Chemistry
1 answer:
Hoochie [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Cathode: Mn → Mn²⁺  +  2e⁻    (Oxidation)

Anode: Zn²⁺  +  2e⁻  →  Zn   (Reduction)

Mn | Mn²⁺ ||  Zn²⁺  | Zn

Explanation:

To identify the half reaction we need to see the oxidation states.

Mn(s) → Ground state → Oxidation state = 0

Mn(NO₃)₂ → Mn²⁺  → The oxidation state has increased.

This is the oxidation reaction. It has released two electrons:

Mn → Mn²⁺  +  2e⁻

Zn(NO₃)₂ →  Zn²⁺

Zn → Ground state → The oxidation state was decreased.

This is the reduction reaction. It has gained two electrons:

Zn²⁺  +  2e⁻  →  Zn

Cathode: Mn → Mn²⁺  +  2e⁻

Anode: Zn²⁺  +  2e⁻  →  Zn

Mn | Mn²⁺ ||  Zn²⁺  | Zn

A solution of an unknown nonvolatile nonelectrolyte was prepared by dissolving 0.250 g of the substance in 40.0 g of ccl4. the b
Finger [1]
Answer : The molar mass of the solute will be 87.90 g/mol.

Explanation : We know the formula for elevation in boiling point, which is

Δt = iK_{b}m

given that, Δt = 0.357, K_{b} = 5.02 and mass of CCl _{4} = 40,

on substituting the value we get,
0.357 = (1) X (5.02) X (x/ 0.044), on solving we get x = 2.844 X10^{-3}. 
Now, 0.250/ 2.844 X10^{-3} = 87.90 g/mol. which is the weight of unknown component.

HNO3 + H2O → H3O^+ + NO3<br> which ones are acids and which ones are bases
nlexa [21]

Answer:

  • HNO₃ and  H₃O⁺ are acids
  • H₂O and  NO₃⁻ are bases

Explanation:

The chemical equation is:

  • HNO₃ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + NO₃⁻

There are several definitions of acid and bases: Arrhenius', Bronsted-Lowry's and Lewis'.

Bronsted-Lowry model defines and <em>acid</em> as a donor of protons, H⁺.

In the given equation HNO₃ is such substance: it releases an donates its hdyrogen to form the H₃O⁺ ion.

On the other hand, a <em>base</em> is a substance that accepts protons.

In the reaction shown, H₂O accepts the proton from HNO₃ to form H₃O⁺.

Thus, H₂O is a base.

In turn, on the reactant sides the substances can be classified as acids or bases.

H₃O⁺ contain an hydrogen that can be donated and form H₂O; thus, it is an acid (the conjugated acid), and NO₃⁻ can accept a proton to form HNO₃; thus it is a base (the conjugated base).
