Answer: option D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt.
Justification:
NaOH is a strong base, which means that in water it will dissociate according to this reaction:
- NaOH(aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)
On the other hand, CuSO₄ is a soluble ionic salt which in water will dissociate into its ions according to this other reaction:
Hence, in solution, the sodium ion (Na⁺) will react with the metal salt in a double replacement reaction, where the highly reactive sodium ion (Na⁺) will substitute the Cu²⁺ in the CuSO₄ to form the sodium sulfate salt, Na₂SO₄ (water soluble), and the copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)₂ (insoluble).
That is what the given reaction represents:
CuSO₄ (aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + Na₂SO₄(aq)

A chemical reaction that removes electrons from an atom is called "O<span>xidation".
The term came from late 18th century from French.
When the electrons are removed from an atom it increase its valence.</span>
Answer:
ΔG° = -5.4 kJ/mol
ΔG = 873.2 J/mol = 0.873 kJ /mol
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
ΔG (NO2) = 51.84 kJ/mol
ΔG (N2O4) = 98.28 kJ/mol
Step 2:
ΔG = ΔG° + RT ln Q
⇒with Q = the reaction quatient
⇒with T = the temperature = 298 K
⇒with R = 8.314 J / mol*K
⇒with ΔG° = ΔG° (N2O4) - 2*ΔG°(NO2
)
⇒ ΔG° = 98.28 kJ/mol - 2* 51.84 kJ/mol
⇒ ΔG° = -5.4 kJ/mol
Part B
ΔG = ΔG° =RT ln Q
⇒with G° = -5.4 kj/mol = -5400 j/mol
⇒
with R = 8.314 J/K*mol
⇒with T = 298 K
⇒with Q = p(N2O4)/ [ p(NO2) ]² = 1.63/0.36² = 12.577
ΔG = -5400 + 8.314 * 298 * ln(12.577)
ΔG = -5400 + 8.314 * 298 * 2.532
ΔG = 873.2 J/mol = 0.873 kJ/mol
Gibbs free energy of a reaction (
Δ
G ) is the change in free energy of a system that undergoes the chemical reaction. It is the energy associated with the reaction, which is available to do some useful work. If ΔG<0
, then the reaction can be utilized to do some useful work. If
ΔG>0
, then work has to be done on the system or external energy is required to make the reaction happen. ΔG=0 when the reaction is at equilibrium and there is no net change taking place in the system.
