Use the following half-reactions to write three spontaneous reactions, calculate E°cell for each reaction, and rank the oxidizin

g and reducing agents for each reaction. (Type your answer using the format [NH4]+ for NH4+, [Mg]2+ for Mg2+, and CO2 for CO2. Don't specify physical states. Use the lowest possible coefficients.) (1) Au+(aq) + e- Au(s) E° = 1.69 V (2) N2O(g) + 2 H+(aq) + 2 e- N2(g) + H2O(l) E° = 1.77 V (3) Cr3+(aq) + 3 e- Cr(s) E° = -0.74 V

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

1)

we know that

half cell with higher reduction potential is cathode

so

cathode :

N20 + 2H+ + 2e- ---> N2 + H20

anode :

Cr(s) ---> Cr+3 + 3e-

so

overall reaction is

3 N20 + 6H+ + 2 Cr ---> 3N2 + 3H20 + 2Cr+3

now

Eo cell = Eo cathode - Eo anode

so

EO cell = 1.77 + 0.74

Eo cell = 2.51 V

now

in this case

oxidizing agents are N20 and Cr+3

reducing agents are Cr and N2

higher the reduction potential , stronger the oxidizing agent

lower the reduction potential , stronger the reducing agent

so

oxidzing agents

N20 > Cr+3

reducing agents

Cr > N2

2)

cathode :

Au+ + e- --> Au

anode :

Cr ---> Cr+3 + 3e-

overall reaction

3Au+ + Cr ---> 3Au + Cr+3

Eo cell = 1.69 + 0.74

Eo cell = 2.43

now

oxidizing agents :

Au+ > Cr+3

reducing agents :

Cr > Au

3)

cathode :

N20 + 2H+ + 2e- ---> N2 + H20

andoe :

Au ---> Au+ + e-

overall

2 Au + N20 + 2H+ --> 2 Au+ + N2 + H20

Eo cell = 1.77 - 1.69

Eo cell = 0.08

oxidizing agents

N20 > Au+

reducing agents

Au > N2

Complete the following sentences:
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) In an exothermic reaction, the energy transferred to the surroundings from forming new bonds is ___more____ than the energy needed to break existing bonds.  

b) In an endothermic reaction, the energy transferred to the surroundings from forming new bonds is ___less____ than the energy needed to break existing bonds.  

c) The energy change of an exothermic reaction has a _____negative_______ sign.  

d) The energy change of an endothermic reaction has a ____positive________ sign.

The energy changes occur during the bonds formation and bonds breaking.

There are two types of reaction endothermic and exothermic reaction.

Endothermic reactions:

The type of reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bond are higher than the energy released during bond formation.

For example:

C + H₂O   →  CO  + H₂

ΔH = +131 kj/mol

it can be written as,

C +  H₂O  + 131 kj/mol  →  CO  + H₂

Exothermic reaction:

The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.

In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.

For example:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂   →  CO₂

ΔH = -393 Kj/mol

it can be written as,

C + O₂   →  CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol
