Why are redox reactions often written as net ionic equations?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Scorpion4ik [409]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A. To focus on only those ions that form the precipitate

Explanation:

Net ionic equations cancel out the ions that appear on both sides of the reaction because they essentially don't participate in the reaction. This is very useful when dealing with redox reactions because are complicated enough without spectator ions being in the way, so they help focus on those ions that actually form the precipitate.

Key Terms

  • Spectator Ions: an ion that does not take part in the chemical reaction.
  • Net ionic equations: a equation where  ions that appear on both sides are canceled out.
  • Redox reaction: an oxidation-reduction reaction.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

- 10.555 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

∵ ∆G°rxn = ∆H°rxn - T∆S°rxn.

Where, ∆G°rxn is the standard free energy change of the reaction (J/mol).

∆H°rxn is the standard enthalpy change of the reaction (J/mol).

T is the temperature of the reaction (K).

∆S°rxn is the standard entorpy change of the reaction (J/mol.K).

  • Calculating ∆H°rxn:

∵ ∆H°rxn = ∑∆H°products - ∑∆H°reactants

<em>∴ ∆H°rxn = (2 x ∆H°f NOCl) - (1 x ∆H°f Cl₂) - (2 x ∆H°f NO) </em>= (2 x 51.71 kJ/mol) - (1 x 0) - (2 x 90.29 kJ/mol) = - 77.16 kJ/mol.

  • Calculating ∆S°rxn:

∵  ∆S°rxn = ∑∆S°products - ∑∆S°reactants

<em>∴ ∆S°rxn = (2 x ∆S° NOCl) - (1 x ∆S° Cl₂) - (2 x ∆S° NO) </em>= (2 x 261.6 J/mol.K) - (1 x 223.0 J/mol.K) - (2 x 210.65 J/mol.K) =<em> - 121.1 J/mol.K. = - 0.1211 kJ/mol.K.</em>

<em></em>

  • Calculating ∆G°rxn:

∵ ∆G°rxn = ∆H°rxn - T∆S°rxn.

<em>∴ ∆G°rxn = ∆H°rxn - T∆S°rxn </em>= (- 77.16 kJ/mol) - (550 K)(- 0.1211 kJ/mol.K) = <em>- 10.555 kJ/mol.</em>

A block of wood has the mass of 180 grams.it is 10 cm long,6 cm wide and 4 cm thick.what is it’s density?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

0.75 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of wooden block =  180 g

Length of block = 10 cm

Width of block = 6 cm

Height or thickness = 4 cm

Density of block = ?

Solution:

Volume of block = height × length × width

Volume of block = 4 cm × 10 cm× 6 cm

Volume of block = 240 cm³

Density of block:

density = mass/ volume

d = 180 g/ 240 cm³

d = 0.75 g/cm³

What is the volume of 0.2 moles of neon gas at STP?
eduard

Standard Molar Volume is the volume occupied by one mole of any gas at STP. Remember that "STP" is Standard Temperature and Pressure. Standard temperature is 0 &176:C or 273 K. Standard pressure is 1 atmosphere or 760 mm Hg (also called "torr"). 1 mole of any gas at STP occupies 22.4 liters of volume.
