Determine the reducing agent in the following reaction. Explain your answer. 2 Li(s) + Fe(C2H3O2)2(aq) → 2 LiC2H3O2(aq) + Fe(s)

Answers

The reducing agent in the reaction 2Li(s) + Fe(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → 2LiCH₃COO(aq) + Fe(s) is lithium (Li).

The general reaction is:

2Li(s) + Fe(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → 2LiCH₃COO(aq) + Fe(s)   (1)

We can write the above reaction in two reactions, one for oxidation and the other for reduction:

Oxidation reaction

Li⁰(s) → Li⁺(aq) + e⁻   (2)

Reduction reaction

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Fe⁰(s)    (3)

We can see that Li⁰ is oxidizing to Li⁺ (by losing one electron) in the lithium acetate (reaction 2) and that Fe²⁺ in iron(II) acetate is reducing to Fe⁰ (by gaining two electrons) (reaction 3).  

We must remember that the reducing agent is the one that will be oxidized by reducing another element and that the oxidizing agent is the one that will be reduced by oxidizing another species.

In reaction (1), the reducing agent is Li (it is oxidizing to Li⁺), and the oxidizing agent is Fe(CH₃COO)₂ (it is reducing to Fe⁰).  

Therefore, the reducing agent in reaction (1) is lithium (Li).

To what pH should you adjust a standard hydrogen electrode to get an electrode potential of -0.128 V ? (Assume that the partial pressure of hydrogen gas remains at 1 atm.) Express your answer using two decimal places.\

Answers

The pH of the standard hydrogen electrode that has electrode potential of -0.128 V  is 4.3.

The equation of the hydrogen electrode is;

2H^+(aq) + 2e ⇄ H2(g)

The standard electrode potential of hydrogen is 0.00 V

Using the Nernst equation;

Ecell = E°cell - 0.0592/n log Q

Now;

E°cell = 0.00 V

n = 2

Q = 1/[H^+]

-0.128 = 0.00 - 0.0592/2 log  1/[H^+]

-0.128 = 0.00 - 0.0296 log 1/[H^+]

 -0.128 =  - 0.0296 log 1/[H^+]

-0.128/  - 0.0296  =  log 1/[H^+]

1/[H^+] = Antilog (4.32)

[H^+] = 4.79 × 10^-5

Now;

pH = -log[H^+]

pH = -log (4.79 × 10^-5)

Express your answers in moles per liter to two significant figures separated by a comma.

Answers

This problem is describing the equilibrium whereby the formartion of a complex is attained when 1.47 g of nickel(II) chloride is dissolved in 100.0 mL of ammonia so that the latter's equilibium concentration is 0.20 M. Thus, it is asked to calculate the equilibrium concentrations of both nickel(II) ions and that of the complex.

Firstly, we can write out the chemical equation to be considered:

[tex]Ni^{2+}+6NH_3\rightleftharpoons Ni(NH_3)_6^{2+}[/tex]

Next, we can calculate the initial concentration of nickel(II) ions by using the concept of molarity:

[tex][Ni^{2+}]=\frac{1.47gNiCl_2*\frac{1molNiCl_2}{129.6g}*\frac{1molNi^{2+}}{1molNiCl_2} }{0.1000L}=0.113M[/tex]

Afterwards, we set up an equilibrium expression for this chemical reaction:

[tex]Kf=\frac{[Ni(NH_3)_6^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}][NH_3]^6}[/tex]

Which can be written in terms of the reaction extent, [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]Kf=\frac{x}{(0.113-x)(0.2)^6}[/tex]

Now, for the calculation of [tex]x[/tex], we plug in Kf, and solve for it:

[tex]1.2x10^9=\frac{x}{(0.113-x)(0.2)^6}\\\\1.2x10^9=\frac{x}{(0.113-x)(6.4x10^{-5})}\\\\7.68x10^4(0.113-x)=x\\\\x=0.112999 M[/tex]

Which is about the same to the initial concentration of nickel(II) ions because the Kf is too large.

Thus, the required concentrations at equilibrium are about:

[tex][Ni(NH_3)_6^{2+}]=0.113M[/tex]

[tex][Ni^{2+}]=0M[/tex]

If 38.6 grams of iron react with an excess of bromine gas, what mass of FeBr2 can form?

Answers

Answer:

›› FeBr2 molecular weight. Molar mass of FeBr2 = 215.653 g/mol. This compound is also known as Iron(II) Bromide. Convert grams FeBr2 to moles or moles FeBr2 to grams. Molecular weight calculation: 55.845 + 79.904*2 ›› Percent composition by element

Explanation:

If 38.6 grams of iron react with an excess of bromine gas, the mass of FeBr2 can form is 149 grams.

What is mass?

Mass is defined as a way to gauge how much matter there is in a substance or thing. The kilogram (kg) is the fundamental SI unit of mass, while lower masses can also be measured in grams (g). Atoms make up everyday matter. A majority of an atom's mass is contained in its nucleus.

Given Fe = 38.6 g.

Fe has a molar mass = 55.845 g/mol.

Given mass/molar mass equals 38.6g/55.845gmol-1, or 0.6912 moles of iron.

The reaction is described as Fe + Br2 FeBr2.

One mole Fe yields 1 mole of FeBr2.

FeBr2 would be produced from 0.6912 moles of Fe.

FeBr2 has a molar mass of 215.65 g/mol.

Moles of FeBr2 x Molar mass of FeBr2

= 215.65 g/mole x 0.6912 mole

= 149.06 g FeBr2 produced is the formula.

Thus, if 38.6 grams of iron react with an excess of bromine gas, the mass of FeBr2 can form is 149 grams.

g Consider an ideal atomic gas in a cylinder. The upper part of the cylinder is a moveable piston of negligible weight. The height of the cylinder is 30 cm. The outside pressure is 105 Pa. The temperature of the gas is kept at 250 K throughout the experiment. The volume filled by the gas is 2.0 l. Now assume that solid cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. Cylinder and piston have the same diameter. Assume that the kinetic energy of the weight is completely converted into heat transferred into the gas cylinder. Calculate the change of entropy of the gas and of the environment. Please read this text very carefully

Answers

A cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. The entropy of the gas is 1.18 J/K and the change in the entropy of the environment is -1.18 J/K.

A cylindrical weight with a mass (m) of 3 kg is dropped, that is, its initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s and travels 10 m (s). Assuming the acceleration (a) is that of gravity (9.8 m/s²). We can calculate the velocity (v) of the weight in the instant prior to the collision with the piston using the following kinematic equation.

[tex]v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as = 2 (9.8 m/s^{2} ) (10m) \\\\v = 14 m/s[/tex]

The object with a mass of 3 kg collides with the piston at 14 m/s, The kinetic energy (K) of the object at that moment is:

[tex]K = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} (3kg) (14m/s)^{2} = 294 J[/tex]

The kinetic energy of the weight is completely converted into heat transferred into the gas cylinder. Thus, Q = 294 J.

Given all the process is at 250 K (T), we can calculate the change of entropy of the gas using the following expression.

[tex]\Delta S_{gas} = \frac{Q}{T} = \frac{294 J}{250K} = 1.18 J/K[/tex]

The change in the entropy of the environment, has the same value but opposite sign than the change in the entropy of the gas. Thus, [tex]\Delta S_{env} = -1.18 J/K[/tex]

A cylindrical weight with a mass of 3 kg is dropped onto the piston from a height of 10 m. The entropy of the gas is 1.18 J/K and the change in the entropy of the environment is -1.18 J/K.

At 298 K, the reaction 2 HF (g) ⇌ H2 (g) + F2 (g) has an equilibrium constant Kc of 8.70x10-3. If the equlibrium concentrations of H2 and F2 gas are both 1.33x10-3 M, determine the initial concentration of HF gas assuming you only started with HF gas and no products initially.

Answers

This problem is describing the equilibrium whereby hydrofluoric acid decomposes to hydrogen and fluorine gases at 298 K whose equilibrium constant is 8.70x10⁻³, the equilibrium concentrations of all the reactants are both 1.33x10⁻³ M and asks for the initial concentration of hydrofluoric acid which turns out to be 2.86x10⁻³ M.

Then, we can write the following equilibrium expression for hydrofluoric acid once the change, [tex]x[/tex], has taken place:

[tex][HF]=[HF]_0-2x[/tex]

Now, since both products are 1.33x10⁻³ M we infer the reaction extent is also 1.33x10⁻³ M, and thus, we can calculate the equilibrium concentration of HF via the law of mass action (equilibrium expression):

[tex]8.70x10^{-3}=\frac{(1.33x10^{-3} M)^2}{[HF]} }[/tex]

[tex][HF]=\frac{(1.33x10^{-3} M)^2}{8.70x10^{-3}} }=2.03x10^{-4}M[/tex]

Finally, the initial concentration of HF is calculated as follows:

[tex][HF]_0=[HF]+2x=2.033x10^{-4}+2*(1.33x10^{-3})=2.86x10^{-3}M[/tex]

the solubility of nitrogen gas is 1.90 mL/dL of blood at 1.00 atm. what is the solubility of nitrogen gas in a deepsea divers blood at a depth of 200 feet and pressure of 7.00 atm

Answers

The solubility of nitrogen gas in water is 1.90 mL/dL at 1.00 atm and 13.3 mL/dL at 7.00 atm.

We want to relate the solubility of a gas with its partial pressure.

We can do so using Henry's law.

What does Henry's law state?

Henry's law states that the amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid.

C = k × P

where,

C is the concentration of a dissolved gas. k is the Henry's Law constant. P partial pressure of the gas.

The solubility of nitrogen gas is 1.90 mL/dL of blood at 1.00 atm.

Since the solvent is basically water, we can understand that the concentration of nitrogen gas is 1.90 mL/dL at 1.00 atm.

We can use this information to calculate Henry's Law constant.

k = C/P = (1.90 mL/dL)/1.00 atm = 1.90 mL/dL.atm

We want to calculate the solubility of nitrogen gas at a pressure of 7.00 atm.

We will use Henry's law.

C = k × P = (1.90 mL/dL.atm) × 7.00 atm = 13.3 mL/dL

The solubility of nitrogen gas in water is 1.90 mL/dL at 1.00 atm and 13.3 mL/dL at 7.00 atm.
