Which equation represents a reduction half-reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
horsena [70]1 year ago
7 0

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.

Analyze: The first shell can hold a maximum of two electrons. How does this explain the valence of hydrogen
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Hydrogen has a valency of +1 or -1. Its electronic configuration is 1s1.

The 1s sub-level (first shell) is known to hold two electrons. This means that hydrogen may either loose this one electron in the 1s level to yield H^+ or accept another electron into this 1s level to form H^- (the hydride ion).

The formation of the hydride ion completes the 1s orbital.

Draw a sodium formate molecule. The structure has been supplied here for you to copy. To add formal charges, click the button be
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The Molecule of Sodium Formate along with Formal Charges (in blue) and lone pair electrons (in red) is attached below.

Sodium Formate is an ionic compound made up of a positive part (Sodium Ion) and a polyatomic anion (Formate).

Nomenclature:

                       In ionic compounds the positive part is named first. As sodium ion is the positive part hence, it is named first followed by the negative part i.e. formate.

Name of Formate:

                             Formate ion has been derived from formic acid ( the simplest carboxylic acid). When carboxylic acids looses the acidic proton of -COOH, they are converted into Carboxylate ions.

E.g.

                    HCOOH (formic acid)    →     HCOO⁻ (formate)  +  H⁺

                H₃CCOOH (acetic acid)     →      H₃CCOO⁻ (acetate)  +  H⁺

Formal Charges:

                           Formal charges are calculated using following formula,

          F.C  =  [# of Valence e⁻] - [e⁻ in lone pairs + 1/2 # of bonding electrons]

For Oxygen:

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 2/2]

                    F.C  =  [6] - [6 + 1]

                    F.C  =  6 - 7

                    F.C  =  -1

For Sodium:

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0 + 0/2]

                    F.C  =  [1] - [0]

                    F.C  =  1 - 0

                    F.C  =  +1

Starting with 1.5052g of BaCl2•2H2O and excessH2SO4, how many grams of BaSO4 can be formed?
muminat
1.5052g BaCl2.2H2O => 1.5052g / 274.25 g/mol = 0.0054884 mol
=> 0.0054884 mol Ba 
<span>This means that at most 0.0054884 mol BaSO4 can form since Ba is the limiting reagent. </span>
<span>0.0054884 mol BaSO4 => 0.0054884 mol * 233.39 g/mol = 1.2809 g BaSO4</span>

b. ΔS = (1+1) -(1) = 1
c. ΔS = (1+2) - (1) = 2
d. ΔS = (2) - (2+1) = -1
e. ΔS = (1) - (1) = 0

ΔS is negative for reaction a. and d.

At 73.0 ∘c , what is the maximum value of the reaction quotient, q, needed to produce a non-negative e value for the reaction so
damaskus [11]
Here we will use the general formula of Nernst equation:

Ecell = E°Cell - [(RT/nF)] *㏑Q

when E cell is cell potential at non - standard state conditions

E°Cell is standard state cell potential = - 0.87 V

and R is a constant = 8.314 J/mol K

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 73 + 273 = 346 K

and F is Faraday's constant = 96485 C/mole

and n is the number of moles of electron transferred in the reaction=2  

and Q is the reaction quotient for the reaction 
SO42-2(aq) + 4H+(aq) +2Br-(aq) ↔  Br2(aq) + SO2(g) +2H2O(l)

so by substitution :

0 = -0.87 - [(8.314*346K)/(2* 96485)*㏑Q      → solve for Q 


∴ Q = 4.5 x 10^-26
