Sharing or transfer of electrons from one atom to the other to attain stable octet

What are the products in the following chemical reaction?

hodyreva [135]

The products are on the right side of the chemical equation, while the reactants are on the left side of the chemical equation.

Therefore if we have:

methane + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water

Then the reactants are methane + oxygen

The products are: A) Carbon dioxide + Water

Is it possible for three or more elements to form a solid solution? Explain your answer.

elixir [45]

Yes it is possible because, olymorphismis when two or more crystal structures are possible for a material of given composition. Isomerismis when two or more polymer molecules or repeat units have the same composition, but different atomic arrangements.

A chemist measures the energy change Delta H during the following

Ann [662]

Answer: 1) endothernic

2) Yes absorbed

Explanation:

Decomposition is a chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products. All decomposition reactions are endothermic reactions as energy is absorbed to break the bonds.

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be negative.

A sample of 250 g of water are heated from 40°C to 121°C, calculate the amount of heat energy absorbed.

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

the anwser isn't in the choices

Explanation:

H=MC(change of temp.)

M=mass of water=250g

C=specific heat of water = 4.186 j/g

change in temperature is 121-40= 81

H= 250x4.186x81=84766.5J

The standard reduction potentials of the following half-reactions are given in Appendix E in the textbook:

german

Answer:

For 1: The largest positive cell potential is of cell having 1st and 4th half reactions.

For 2: The standard electrode potential of the cell is 1.539 V

For 3: The smallest positive cell potential is of cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions. The standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.46 V

Explanation:

The substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

We are given:

$Ag^++(aq.)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o_{Ag^+/Ag}=0.799V\\\\Cu^{2+}+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s);E^o_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}=0.337V\\\\Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Ni(s);E^o_{Ni^{2+}/Ni}=-0.28V\\\\Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3e^-\rightarrow Cr(s);E^o_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}=-0.74V$

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the $E^o_{cell}$ of the reaction, we use the equation:

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}$

Cell having 1st and 2nd half reactions:

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Copper will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

$E^o_{cell}=0.799-0.337=0.462V$

Cell having 1st and 3rd half reactions:

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Nickel will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

$E^o_{cell}=0.799-(-0.28)=1.079V$

Cell having 1st and 4th half reactions:

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

$E^o_{cell}=0.799-(-0.74)=1.539V$

Cell having 2nd and 3rd half reactions:

Copper has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Nickel will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

$E^o_{cell}=0.337-(-0.28)=0.617V$

Cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions:

Nickel has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

$E^o_{cell}=-0.28-(-0.74)=0.46V$

Hence,

For 1: The largest positive cell potential is of cell having 1st and 4th half reactions.

For 2: The standard electrode potential of the cell is 1.539 V

For 3: The smallest positive cell potential is of cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions. The standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.46 V
