Which of the following represents the balanced reduction half-reaction from the redox reaction? (2 points)
1 answer:
In general oxidation is defined as gain of oxygen or loss of electron or hydrogen by an atom. Reduction is defined as gain of electron or hydrogen or loss of oxygen by an atom.
In a balanced redox reaction we have two half reactions
a) reduction half reaction : the oxidation number of element decreases
b) oxidation half reaction : the oxidation number of element increases
The element undergoing reduction is Pd.
the oxidation number of Pd decreases from +2 to 0
Thus the reduction half reaction will be
The Pd (II) ion will take two electrons and will give Pd (0)

a. mol O₂=0.5
b. volume O₂ = 25 cm³
c. i. the total volume of the two reactants = 75 cm³
c. ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed = 50 cm³
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Reaction
2NO(gas) + O₂(gas) ⇒ 2NO₂ (gas)
a.
mol NO = 1
From the equation, mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so mol O₂ :
b.
From Avogadro's hypothesis, at the same temperature and pressure, the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles
Because mol ratio NO : O₂ = 2 : 1, so volume O₂ :
c.
i. total volume of reactants : 25 cm³+ 50 cm³=75 cm³
ii. the volume of nitrogen dioxide formed :
mol ratio NO : NO₂ = 2 : 2, so volume NO₂ = volume NO = 50 cm³
Answer:
Three hydrogen atoms to form PH₃.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since the elements belonging to the nitrogen family (N, P, As, Sb and Bi) show five valence electrons, because there are five electrons at their outer shell, it is clear that if phosphorous bonds with hydrogen, it is going to require the same amount of oxygen atoms (3) because elements having five valence electrons need 3 bonds in order to attain the octet (5+3=8).
Therefore the compound would be:
Which is phosphine.
