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

What is an example of how to supply activation energy to begin reaction
Sergio039 [100]

Heating the reaction flask on a hot plate is an example of supplying activation energy to begin a reaction.

Explanation:

<u>Definition:</u>

Activation energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required to start a particular chemical reaction.

For example: When hydrogen and oxygen are mixed together it does not immediately start the reaction to form water. So, to start the reaction a small electric spark is provided or it is heated to provide some energy. This energy causes the molecules of hydrogen and water to react, thus producing even more molecules to react and finally water is formed.

Here the electric spark or the heat provided is the activation energy.
