What happens to a redox reaction when it is shown as half-reactions answers?

A redox reaction is a combination of an oxidation reaction and a reduction reaction, this reaction involves the transfer of electrons from one species to another. When redox reactions are shown as half reactions you are able to determine what parts of the reaction are being reduced and what is being oxidized. Moreover, you are able to determine if the reaction is spontaneous or not once you see the half reactions. When an element loses an electron in a reaction it is considered to be oxidized however if it gains an electron or multiple electrons then it is reduced. In other words, if the oxidation number increases then it is losing electrons and therefore it is oxidized but if the number is decreasing then it is gaining electrons. Note that electrons have negative charges so this trend only makes sense because of this fact.

Consider the following equilibrium systems: A⇌2B ΔH o =20.0 kJ/mol Reaction 1 A+B⇌C ΔH o =−5.4 kJ/mol Reaction 2 A⇌B ΔH o =0.0 k
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Reaction 1: Kc increases

Reaction 2: Kc decreases

Reaction 3: The is no change

Explanation:

Let us consider the following reactions:

Reaction 1: A ⇌ 2B ΔH° = 20.0 kJ/mol

Reaction 2: A + B ⇌ C ΔH° = −5.4 kJ/mol

Reaction 3: 2A⇌ B ΔH° = 0.0 kJ/mol

To predict what will happen when the temperature is raised we need to take into account Le Chatelier Principle: when a system at equilibrium suffers a perturbation, it will shift its equilibrium to counteract such perturbation. This means that <em>if the temperature is raised (perturbation), the system will react to lower the temperature.</em>

Reaction 1 is endothermic (ΔH° > 0). If the temperature is raised the system will favor the forward reaction to absorb heat and lower the temperature, thus increasing the value of Kc.

Reaction 2 is exothermic (ΔH° < 0). If the temperature is raised the system will favor the reverse reaction to absorb heat and lower the temperature, thus decreasing the value of Kc.

Reaction 3 is not endothermic nor exothermic (ΔH° = 0) so an increase in the temperature will have no effect on the equilibrium.

Which of the following is a correct representation of the isotope of sulfur that has 19 neutrons? sulfur-19 sulfur-35 sulfur-16
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

sulfur-35

Explanation:

Sulfur-35 is a radioactive isotope that contains 19 neutrons.

Isotopes are represented with mass numbers. Mass number is the addition of number of proton and number of neutrons.

The number of proton in sulfur = 16

Number of neutron = 19

So, mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

                              = 16 + 19

                              = 35

Hence, the correct answer is sulfur-35.

Identify the substances that will appear in the equilibrium constant expression for the equation: 2Ag+(aq)+Zn(s)&lt;-&gt;Zn2+(aq
Simora [160]

Hey there!


We Know that:



 2 Ag⁺(aq) + Zn(s) <-> Zn²⁺(aq)+2 Ag(s)


The equilibrium expression for the reaction is:



Kc =  [ Zn⁺² ]  /  [Ag⁺ ]²


Hope that helps!
