Balance the following half reaction in basic conditions. Then, indicate the coefficients for H2O and OH– for the balanced half r
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The ballance half reactions are:

Mg²⁺  + 2e⁻ → Mg

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

Coefficients for H2O and OH– are 3 for H₂O (in products side) and 6 for OH⁻ (in reactants side)

Explanation:

Si (s) + Mg(OH)₂ (s) → Mg (s) + SiO₃²⁻ (aq)

Let's see the oxidations number.

As any element in ground state, we know that oxidation state is 0, so Si in reactants and Mg in products, have 0.

Mg in reactants, acts with +2, so the oxidation number has decreased.

This is the reduction, so it has gained electrons.

Si in reactants acts with 0 so in products we find it with +4. The oxidation number increased it, so this is oxidation. The element has lost electrons.

Let's take a look to half reactions:

Mg²⁺  + 2e⁻ → Mg

Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻

In basic medium, we have to add water, as the same amount of oxygen we have, IN THE SAME SIDE. We have 3 oxygens in products, so we add 3 H₂O and in the opposite site we can add OH⁻, to balance the hydrogen. The half reaciton will be:

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

If we want to ballance the main reaction we have to multiply (x2) the half reaction of oxidation. So the electrons can be ballanced.

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

Now, that they are ballanced we can sum the half reactions:

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻ → 2Mg

6OH⁻ + Si  → SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

2Mg²⁺  + 4e⁻  + 6OH⁻ + Si  → 2Mg  +  SiO₃²⁻ + 4e⁻ + 3 H₂O

A closed container holds 2.0 moles of CO2 gas at STP. How many moles of oxygen can be placed in a container of the same size at
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: 2 moles

Explanation:

STP is Standard Temperature and Pressure. That means the pressure is 1.00 atm and the temperature is 273K. Since the oxygen is placed in the same container, we can use Ideal Gas Law to figure out what container the CO₂ used.

Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT

P=1.00 atm

n=moles

R=0.08206 Latm/Kmol

T=273K

CO₂

V=\frac{nRT}{P}

V=\frac{(2.0 mol)(0.08206Latm/Kmol)(273K)}{1.00atm}

V=44.8L

Since we know that CO₂ has a 44.8 L container, we can use that to find the moles of oxygen.

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{(1.00atm)(44.8L)}{(0.08206Latm/Kmol)(273K)}

n=1.99=2mol

There are 2 mol of oxygen.
