How is a double displacement reaction completed and balanced

1 answer:

7 0

A double displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which two reactants exchange ions to form two new compounds. Many double displacement reactions occur between ionic compounds that are dissolved in water. A double replacement reaction is represented by the general equation.

What is the voltage of the voltaic cell Zn|Zn2+||Cu2+|Cu at 298 K if [Zn2+] = 0.2 M and [Cu2+] = 4.0 M? Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu Eo = +0.

OLga [1]

Answer : The voltage of the voltaic cell is 1.14 V

Explanation :

From the given cell representation, we conclude that

The copper will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced. Zinc will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode. That means, gold shows reduction and occurs at cathode and chromium shows oxidation and occurs at anode.

The overall balanced equation of the cell is,

$Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu$

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

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

$E^o_{cell}=E^o_{(Cu^{2+}/Cu)}-E^o_{(Zn^{2+}/Zn)}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E^o_{cell}=(+0.34V)-(-0.76V)$

$E^o_{cell}=1.1V$

Now we have to calculate the emf or voltage of the cell.

Using Nernest equation at 298 K :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E_{cell}$ = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=1.1-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{0.2}{4.0}$

$E_{cell}=1.14V$

Therefore, the voltage of the voltaic cell is 1.14 V

Which of the following correctly represents the transmutation in which a curium-242 nucleus is bombarded with an alpha particle

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Transmutation is defined as the process in which one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.

The chemical equation for the reaction of curium-242 nucleus with alpha particle (helium nucleus) follows:

$_{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_4^2\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{98}^{245}\textrm{Cf}+_0^1\textrm{n}$

The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.

In the reaction 2H2O (1)+ 2Cl^- (aq)= H2(g)+Cl2 (g)+ 2OH^-(aq), which substance is reduced?

Oksanka [162]

Answer:- C. H

Explanations:- Reduction is gain of electron. In other words we could say that decrease in oxidation number is reduction.

As per the rules, oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1(except metal hydrides) and the oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2.

The oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

In $H_2O$ , the oxidation number of H is +1 and oxidation number of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in $Cl^-$ is -1. On product side, the oxidation number of hydrogen in $H_2$ is zero and in $OH^-$ the oxidation number of H is +1 and that of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in $Cl_2$ is 0.
