What element is being oxidized in the following redox reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
GrogVix [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The O is being oxidized, but at the same time, is being reducted.

Explanation:

H₂O₂(l) + ClO₂(aq) → ClO₂(aq) + O₂(g)

In this reaction, we have 4 compounds:

Hydrogen peroxide

Chlorine dioxide (twice)

Oxygen

In both dioxide, the Cl acts with +4 in oxidation state; the oxygen acts with -2.

Oxgen in ground state has 0, as oxidation number.

In peroxide, the H acts with +1 but  the oxygen acts with -1.

Peroxide is making the oxidation number from the O in the ClO₂, to decrease (reduction) and to increase in the O, at the ground state.

Hydrogen peroxide is a good reducing and oxidizing agent at the same time.

Dovator [93]

Here is the full question

Instant cold packs, often used to ice athletic injuries on the field, contain ammonium nitrate and water separated by a thin plastic divider. When the divider is broken, the ammonium nitrate dissolves according to the following endothermic reaction: NH4NO3(s)→NH+4(aq)+NO−3(aq) In order to measure the enthalpy change for this reaction, 1.25 g of NH4NO3 is dissolved in enough water to make 25.0 mL of solution. The initial temperature is 25.8 ∘C and the final temperature (after the solid dissolves) is 21.9 ∘C. Part A Calculate the change in enthalpy for the reaction in kilojoules per mole. (Use 1.0g/mL as the density of the solution and 4.18J/g⋅∘C as the specific heat capacity.) Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. ΔHrxn =   ??? kJ/mol

Answer:

26 kJ / mol

Explanation:

Given that;

The mass of NH₄NO₃ = 1.25 g

Number of moles of NH₄NO₃ = Mass of NH₄NO₃ / Molar Mass of NH₄NO₃

Number of moles of NH₄NO₃= 1.25 g / 80.043 g/mol

Number of moles of NH₄NO₃= 0.016 mol

Volume of solution = 25.0 mL

Density of Solution = 1.0g/mL

Since; density = \frac {mass} {volume}

Mass of Solution = Density x Volume

= 1.0g/mL × 25.0mL

= 25 g

Heat Generated (Q)  = mc \delta T

Q= 25g × 4.18 J/g°C x (25.8°C - 21.9°C)

Q =  407.55 J

Q = 407 × 10 ⁻³ kJ

Q = 0.40755 kJ

Δ H_{rxn} = \frac{Heat generated(Q)}{number of molesof NH_4NO_3}

=  \frac {0.40755 kJ}{ 0.016 mol}

= 25.47 kJ/ mol

~ 26 kJ / mol

Therefore, the change in enthalpy for the reaction in kilojoules per mole = 26 kJ / mol
