Answer:
The oxidation state of the reducing agent has changed from 0 to +2.
Explanation:
reducing agent is anything that loses electron or gains oxygen
in this case, zinc
Answer:
ΔG = -6.5kJ/mol at 500K
Explanation:
We can find ΔG of a reaction using ΔH, ΔS and absolute temperature with the equation:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
Computing the values in the problem:
ΔG = ?
ΔH = 2kJ/mol
T = 500K
And ΔS = 0.017kJ/(K•mol)
Replacing:
ΔG = 2kJ/mol - 500K*0.017kJ/(K•mol)
ΔG = 2kJ/mol - 8.5kJ/mol
<h3>ΔG = -6.5kJ/mol at 500K</h3>
