Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of bismuth oxide ion to bismuth ion in basic aqueous solution. Be sure to add p

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

$3H_2O+(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+6OH^-$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the required half-reaction, we start by setting it up from bismuth (V) oxide ion to bismuth (III) ion:

$BiO_3^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}$

Thus, next realize that the oxidation state of Bi in BiO3^- is 5+ because oxygen is 2- (-2*3+x=-1;x=-1+6;x=+5), so we obtain:

$(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}$

Thereafter, we realize three water molecules are needed on the right in order to balance the oxygens and consequently 6 hydrogen atoms on the left to balance hydrogen:

$6H^++(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+3H_2O$

Now, since the balance is is basic media, we add six molecules of hydroxide ions in order to produce water with the hydrogen ones:

$6OH^-+6H^++(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+3H_2O+6OH^-\\\\6H_2O+(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+3H_2O+6OH^-\\\\6H_2O-3H_2O+(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+6OH^-$

Then, we accommodate the waters to obtain:

$3H_2O+(Bi^{5+}O_3)^-\rightarrow Bi^{3+}+6OH^-$

Best regards!

How many molecules of oxygen are produced when a sample of 38.9 g of water is decomposed by electricity?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A) $6.5\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of water = 38.9

M = Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$

The reaction of electrolysis would be

$2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)$

Number of moles of $H_2O$

$n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{38.9}{18}\ \text{mol}$

From the reaction it can be seen that 2 moles of $H_2O$ gives 1 mole of $O_2$

So, number of moles of $O_2$ produced is

$\dfrac{38.9}{18}\times \dfrac{1}{2}=1.081\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules

$1.081N_A=1.081\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\ =6.5\times 10^{23}$

So, $6.5\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$ of oxygen is produced.

Mendeleev's periodic table

Dmitri Mendeleev

Like many scientists working at the end of the 19th-century the Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907) was looking for ways to organise the known elements. Mendeleev published his first periodic table of the elements in 1869.

Features of Mendeleev's tables

Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of increasing relative atomic mass. When he did this he noted that the chemical properties of the elements and their compounds showed a periodic trend. He then arranged the elements by putting those with similar properties below each other into groups. To make his classification work Mendeleev made a few changes to his order:

he left gaps for yet to be discovered elements
he switched the order of a few elements to keep the groups consistent

The operating properly of a chemical plant would have to the same property of any chemicals but its in a plant form instead of test tubes it would have a stem and leaves and you could squeaz the plant and get it out of the plant
