Why are half-reactions used in redox reactions?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Because a redox reaction holds for both oxidation and reduction.

One half equation is of oxidation and the other is of reduction.

When these two half equations are combined, we get an overall equation of the redox reaction.

Which of the following chemical reactions will produce a precipitate?

3 KBr + AlPO4 → K3PO4 + AlBr3

Na2CO3 + CaCl2 → CaCO3 + 2 NaCl

NH4OH + KCl → KOH + NH4Cl

ZnCl2 + Mg2SO4 → ZnSO4 + MgCl2

Answers

Answer:

Na2CO3 + CaCl2 → CaCO3 + 2 NaCl

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is a type of metathesis reaction in which two reactants exchange ions to form two new compounds. Double displacement reactions usually involve reacting two soluble salts in aqueous solution resulting in the formation of two products: a soluble salt and an insoluble salt that is produced as a precipitate.

If the reaction of two soluble compounds does not produce a precipitate, the reaction does not result in the formation of a product as basically, all the ions are mixed together in the reaction vessel.

From the given reactions above:

1. 3 KBr + AlPO4 → K3PO4 + AlBr3

The reaction does not proceed to product formation as the two products are all soluble salts.

2. Na2CO3 + CaCl2 → CaCO3 + 2 NaCl

The reaction occurs as one of the products, CaCO3 is insoluble as is produced as a precipitate.

3. NH4OH + KCl → KOH + NH4Cl

The reaction does nott occuras the products are all soluble in water.

4. ZnCl2 + Mg2SO4 → ZnSO4 + MgCl2

The reaction does not occur as the products are all soluble in water.

Characteristics: Iron is a gray, moderately active metal.

Characteristic reactions of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺

The [Fe(H2O)6]3+ ion is colorless (or pale pink), but many solutions containing this ion are yellow or amber-colored because of hydrolysis. Iron in both oxidation states forms many complex ions.

Aqueous Ammonia

Aqueous ammonia reacts with Fe(II) ions to produce white gelatinous Fe(OH)2, which oxidizes to form red-brown Fe(OH)3:

Fe2+(aq)+2NH3(aq)+3H2O(l)↽−−⇀Fe(OH)2(s)+2NH+4(aq)(1)

Fe3appt.gif

Aqueous ammonia reacts with Fe(III) ions to produce red-brown Fe(OH)3:

Fe3+(aq)+3NH3(aq)+3H2O(l)↽−−⇀Fe(OH)3(s)+3NH+4(aq)(2)

Fe3bppt.gif

Both precipitates are insoluble in excess aqueous ammonia. Iron(II) hydroxide quickly oxidizes to Fe(OH)3 in the presence of air or other oxidizing agents.

Sodium Hydroxide

Sodium hydroxide also produces Fe(OH)2 and Fe(OH)3 from the corresponding oxidation states of iron in aqueous solution.

Fe2+(aq)+2OH−(aq)↽−−⇀Fe(OH)2(s)(3)

Fe4appt.gif

Fe3+(aq)+3OH−(aq)↽−−⇀Fe(OH)3(s)(4)

Fe4bppt.gif

Neither hydroxide precipitate dissolves in excess sodium hydroxide.

Potassium Ferrocyanide

Potassium ferrocyanide will react with Fe3+ solution to produce a dark blue precipitate called Prussian blue:

K+(aq)+Fe3+(aq)+[Fe(CN)6]4−(aq)↽−−⇀KFe[Fe(CN)6](s)(5)

Fe5a1ppt.gif

With Fe2+ solution, a white precipitate will be formed that will be converted to blue due to the oxidation by oxygen in air:

2Fe2+(aq)+[Fe(CN)6]4−(aq)↽−−⇀Fe2[Fe(CN)6](s)(6)

Fe5a2ppt.gif

Many metal ions form ferrocyanide precipitates, so potassium ferrocyanide is not a good reagent for separating metal ions. It is used more commonly as a confirmatory test.

Potassium Ferricyanide

Potassium ferricyanide will give a brown coloration but no precipitate with Fe3+. With Fe2+, a dark blue precipitate is formed. Although this precipitate is known as Turnbull's blue, it is identical with Prussian blue (from Equation 5).

K+(aq)+Fe+2(aq)+[Fe(CN)6]3−(aq)↽−−⇀KFe[Fe(CN)6](s)(7)

How many moles of NaCl are contained in 50.0 mL of 2.50 M NaCl?

Answers

Answer: 0.144 moles. :)

Explanation:

The number  of  moles of NaCl that are contained in 50.0 mL of 2.50 M NaCl is 0.125 moles

Using this formula

Molarity=Moles of solute/Liters of solution

First step is to convert 50.0 mL to Liters

Litres=50.0 ml×1 L/1000 ml

Litres=0.05 L

Now let determie the number of moles of NaCl

2.50M=moles/0.05

moles=2.50M(0.05)

moles = 0.125 moles of NaCl

Inconclusion The number  of  moles of NaCl that are contained in 50.0 mL of 2.50 M NaCl is 0.125 moles

So, litmus paper is a qualitative tool for assessing the acidity or basicity of a substance (usually a solution). In general, blue litmus turns red in the presence of an acid, and red litmus turns blue in the presence of a base. They can't really tell you much more than that.

The solutions that are most likely acids are those that turn blue litmus red and do not evoke a color change in red litmus. A solution that turns red litmus blue or does not evoke a color change in blue litmus is likely not an acid. Using these criteria, solutions 4 and 7 are most likely acids since they both turn blue litmus red (and they cause no color change in red litmus).

The correct answer choice would thus be D.

A student prepares a aqueous solution of butanoic acid . Calculate the fraction of butanoic acid that is in the dissociated form in his solution. Express your answer as a percentage. You will probably find some useful data in the ALEKS Data resource.

Answers

Answer:

15.4%

Explanation:

If Ka = 0.54 mM = 1.51x10⁻⁵

Then;

C₄H₈O₂               -------->            C₄H₇O₂⁻          +           H⁺

I                    0.54x10⁻³                             0                                0

E                   0.54x10⁻³(1-x)                      0.54x10⁻³x                0.54x10⁻³x

Recall that x is the percentage degree of dissociation

From the ICE table;

Ka = [C₄H₇O₂⁻] [ H⁺]/[C₄H₈O₂]

1.51x10⁻⁵=(0.54x10⁻³x) (0.54x10⁻³x)/ 0.54x10⁻³(1-x)  

1.51x10⁻⁵ = 0.54x10⁻³x^2/1-x

1.51x10⁻⁵(1-x) = 0.54x10⁻³x^2

1.51x10⁻⁵ - 1.51x10⁻⁵x = 0.54x10⁻³x^2

Hence;

0.54x10⁻³x^2 + 1.51x10⁻⁵x - 1.51x10⁻⁵=0

x^2 + 0.028x - 0.028 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation here;

x = 0.154 or −0.182

Ignoring the negative result, x = 0.154

Hence, fraction of butanoic acid that is in the dissociated form in this solution = 15.4%

What is the molarity (molar concentration, unit = M) of K+ found in 200 mL 0.2 M K2HPO4 solution?

Answers

Answer:

0.4 M

Explanation:

The process that takes place in an aqueous K₂HPO₄ solution is:

K₂HPO₄ → 2K⁺ + HPO₄⁻²

First we calculate how many K₂HPO₄ moles are there in 200 mL of a 0.2 M solution:

200 mL * 0.2 M = 40 mmol K₂HPO₄

Then we convert K₂HPO₄ moles into K⁺ moles, using the stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction above:

40 mmol K₂HPO₄ * [tex]\frac{2mmolK^+}{1mmolK_2HPO_4}[/tex] = 80 mmol K⁺

Finally we divide the number of K⁺ moles by the volume, to calculate the molarity:

80 mmol K⁺ / 200 mL = 0.4 M

What is the reducing agent in the following reaction?

2 Br−(aq) + H2O2(aq) + 2 H+(aq) → Br2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

Answers

Answer:

the reducing agent is Bromine

The oxidation state of an element is calculated by subtracting and the total sum of oxidation states of all the individual atom (excluding the one that has to be calculated) from total charge on the molecule. Bromine is the reducing agent in the following reaction.

What is oxidation state?

Oxidation state of an element is a number that is assigned to an element in a molecule that represents the number of electron gained or lost during the formation of that molecule or compound.

The ionic equation is given as

2 Br⁻(aq) + H[tex]_2[/tex]O[tex]_2[/tex](aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) → Br[tex]_2[/tex](aq) + 2 H[tex]_2[/tex]O(l)

The oxidation state of bromine on reactant side is -1 while on product side it is 0 so, oxidation state of bromine has increased by 1 so,  bromine is oxidized. If it is oxidized that means it must have reduced someone. So, bromine is acting as a reducing agent.

Therefore, bromine is the reducing agent in the given reaction.
