Which equation represents a reduction half-reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
horsena [70]2 years ago

Answer:

Fe3+ + 3e– --------> Fe

Explanation:

Reduction refers to a gain of electrons. A specie is said to be reduced when it gains electrons or when it experiences a decrease in oxidation number. The both sentences above can be clearly seen when inspecting a reduction half equation.

Consider the redox reaction half equation;

Fe3+ + 3e– ------>Fe

We can see that Fe^3+ accepted three electrons, the oxidation number of iron thereby decreased from +3 to zero from left to right. This implies that the Fe^3+ was actually reduced according to the equation shown.

How many sodium ions are in the initial 50.00-mL solution of Na2CO3
tresset_1 [31]
From other sources, the given mass of the solute that is being dissolved here is 7.15 g Na2CO3 - 10H2O. We use this amount to convert it to moles of Na2CO3 by converting it to moles using the molar mass then relating the ratio of the unhydrated salt with the number of water molecules. And by the dissociation of the unhydrated salt in the solution, we can calculate the moles of Na+ ions that are present in the solution.

Na2CO3 = 2Na+ + CO3^2-

7.15 g Na2CO3 - 10H2O (1 mol / 402.9319 g) (1 mol Na2CO3 / 1 mol Na2CO3 - 10H2O) ( 1 mol Na2CO3 / 1 mol Na2CO3-10H2O ) ( 2 mol Na+ / 1 mol Na2CO3) = 0.04 mol Na+ ions present

What is the empirical formula of a compound that is 66.6% c, 11.2% h, and 22.2% o by mass?
viktelen [127]
The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest ratio of components making up the compound.
In 100 g of compound,there's <span>66.6 g of C, 11.2 g of H and 22.2 g of O
lets calculate for 100 g of compound 
                              C                                 H                             O
mass </span>                    66.6 g                         11.2 g                      22.2 g
number of moles   66.6/12 g/mol           11.2/1 g/mol              22.2/ 16 g/mol
                               = 5.55 mol                =11.2 mol                 =1.3875 mol
 divide by the least number of moles 
                               5.55/1.3875              11.2/1.3875             1.3875/1.3875
                               = 4                             = 8.08                     = 1
round them off to the nearest whole number 
C - 4
H - 8
O - 1
Therefore empirical formula of compound is C₄H₈O

Element Y has two natural isotopes Y-63 (62.940 amu) and Y-65 (64.928 amu). Calculate the atomic mass of element Y, given the ab
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 63.553 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of Y-63 = 69.17%

Abundance of Y-65 = 100 - 69.17 = 30.83%

Atomic mass of Y-63 = 62.940 amu

Atomic mass of Y-65 = 64.928 amu

Atomic mass of Y = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass= (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass= (62.940×69.17)+(64.928×30.83) /100

Average atomic mass =  4353.560 + 2001.730 / 100

Average atomic mass = 6355.29 / 100

Average atomic mass = 63.553 amu.
