The highest atom economy
2CO + O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
The reaction for the production of CO₂
Required
The highest atom economy
Solution
In reactions, there are sometimes unwanted products that can be said to be a by-product or a waste product. Meanwhile, the desired product can be said to be a useful product, which can be shown as the atom economy
of the reaction
the higher the atomic economy value of a reaction, the smaller the waste/ byproducts produced, so that less energy is wasted
The general formula:
Atom economy = (mass of useful product : mass of all reactants/products) x 100
<em>or
</em>
Atom economy = (total formula masses of useful product : total formula masses of all reactants/products) x 100
So a reaction that only produces one product will have the highest atomic value, namely the reaction in option C
Answer:
The correct option is (a).
Explanation:
We need to find the product of given numbers.
First number = 29.5
Second number = 240
Product of two numbers = 29.5 × 240
= 
Zeroes from numerator and denominator get cancelled.
So,

Hence, the correct option is (a).

Study this chemical reaction:

Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.
Oxidation:
Reduction:
Answer:
Oxidation taking place in given reaction :

Reduction taking place in given reaction;
Explanation:
Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur side by side.
Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.
Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.


In the given reaction, iron(II) ions are getting reduced and zinc metal is getting oxidized to zinc(II) ions.

Answer:
[H₃O⁺] = 0.05 M & [OH⁻] = 2.0 x 10⁻¹³.
Explanation:
- HNO₃ is completely ionized in water as:
<em>HNO₃ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + NO₃⁻.</em>
- The concentration of hydronium ion is equal to the concentration of HNO₃:
[H₃O⁺] = 0.05 M.
∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.
<em>∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺] </em>= 10⁻¹⁴/0.05 = <em>2.0 x 10⁻¹³.</em>
