Balance the following skeleton reaction and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents: Include the states of all reactants and products in your balanced equation. You do not need to include the states with the identities of the oxidizing and reducing agents.
NO_2(g) rightarrow NO_3^-(aq) +NO_2^- (aq) [basic]
The oxidizing agent is:______.
The reducing agent is:_______.

Answers

Answer:

a. 2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + H₂O (l)

b. i. NO₂⁻ is the oxidizing agent

ii. NO₃⁻ is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

a. Balance the following skeleton reaction

The reaction is

NO₂ (g) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq)

The half reactions are

NO₂ (g) → NO₃⁻ (aq)  (1) and

NO₂ (g) → NO₂⁻  (aq) (2)

We balance the number of oxygen atoms in equation(1) by adding one H₂O molecule to the left side.

So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq)

We now add two hydrogen ions 2H⁺ on the right hand side to balance the number of hydrogen atoms

NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq)

The charge on the left hand side is zero while the total charge on the right hand side is -1 + 2 = +1. To balance the charge on both sides, we add one electron to the right hand side.

So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻  (4)

Since the number of atoms in equation two are balanced, we balance the charge since the charge on the left hand side is zero and that on the right hand side is -1. So, we add one electron to the left hand side.

So, NO₂ (g) + e⁻ → NO₂⁻  (aq) (5)

We now add equation (4) and (5)

So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻  (4)

+  NO₂ (g) + e⁻ → NO₂⁻  (aq) (5)

2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + e⁻ → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻  (4)

2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)  → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq)  

We now add two hydroxide ions to both sides of the equation.

So, 2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

The hydrogen ion and the hydroxide ion become a water molecule

2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + 2H₂O (l)

2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + H₂O (l)

So, the required reaction is

2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻  (aq) + H₂O (l)

b. Identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent

Since the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₂ is -2. Since the oxidation number of NO₂ is zero, we let x be the oxidation number of N.

So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = 0

x + 2(-2) = 0

x - 4 = 0

x = 4

Since the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₂⁻ is -1. Since the oxidation number of NO₂⁻ is -1, we let x be the oxidation number of N.

So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = 0

x + 2(-2) = -1

x - 4 = -1

x = 4 - 1

x = 3

Also, the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₃⁻ is -1. Since the oxidation number of NO₃⁻ is -1, we let x be the oxidation number of N.

So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = -1

x + 3(-2) = -1

x - 6 = -1

x = 6 - 1

x = 5

i. The oxidizing agent

The oxidation number of N changes from +4 in NO₂ to +3 in NO₂⁻. So, Nitrogen is reduced and thus  NO₂⁻ is the oxidizing agent

ii. The reducing agent

The oxidation number of N changes from +4 in NO₂ to +5 in NO₃⁻. So, Nitrogen is oxidized and thus and  NO₃⁻ is the reducing agent.

What mass of oxygen is needed for the complete combustion of 1.60-10^-3
g
of methane?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answers

Answer:

6.4×10¯³ g of O₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

Next, we shall determine the masses of CH₄ and O₂ that reacted from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 + (4×1)

= 12 + 4

= 16 g/mol

Mass of CH₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 16 = 16 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 2 × 16 = 32 g/mol

Mass of O₂ from the balanced equation = 2 × 32 = 64 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted with 64 g of O₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of O₂ needed to react with 1.6×10¯³ g of CH₄. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

16 g of CH₄ reacted with 64 g of O₂.

Therefore, 1.6×10¯³ g of CH₄ will react with = (1.6×10¯³ × 64) / 16 = 6.4×10¯³ g of O₂

Thus, 6.4×10¯³ g of O₂ is needed for the reaction.

Using the Law of Conservation of Mass, what is the mass of the unknown solid you placed in beaker #1?

Answers

Answer:

Nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide react to form nitrogen dioxide and water, like this: At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a 7.7 L reaction vessel containing a mixture of nitric acid, nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and water at equilibrium has the following composition: compound amount
HNO 16.2 g 11.0 g 18.6 g H20 236.7 g 3 NO NO
Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant K for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answers

Answer:

K = 3.3

Explanation:

Nitric acid, HNO3, reacts with nitrogen monoxide, NO, to produce nitrogen dioxide, NO2 and water H2O as follows:

2HNO3(g) + NO(g) → 3NO2(g) + H2O(g)

Where equilibrium constant, K, is:

K = [NO2]³[H2O] / [HNO3]²[NO]

[] is the molar concentration of each species at equilibrium.

To solve this question we need to find molarity of each gas and replace these in the equation as follows:

[NO2] -Molar mass NO2-46.0g/mol-

18.6g * (1mol/46.0g) = 0.404mol / 7.7L = 0.0525M

[H2O] -Molar mass:18.01g/mol-

236.7g * (1mol/18.01g) = 13.14 moles / 7.7L = 1.707M

[HNO3] -Molar mass:53.01g/mol-

16.2g * (1mol/53.01g) = 0.3056 moles / 7.7L = 0.0397M

[NO] -Molar mass: 30.0g/mol-

11.0g * (1mol/30.0g) = 0.367 moles / 7.7L = 0.0476M

Replacing:

K = [NO2]³[H2O] / [HNO3]²[NO]

K = [0.0525M]³[1.707M] / [0.0397M]²[0.0476M]

K = 3.3

If the concentration of products is increased the equilibrium is shifted from * left to right/ to the left/ right to left /down left​

Answers

Answer:

to the left

Explanation:

If the concentration of products is increased for a reaction that is in equilibrium, the equilibrium would shift to the left side of the reaction (the reactant's side).

For a reaction that is in equilibrium, the reaction is balanced between the reactants and the products. According to Le Cha telier's  principle, if one of the constraints capable of influencing the rate of reactions is applied to such a reaction that is in equilibrium, the equilibrium would shift so as to neutralize the effects created by the constraint.

Hence, in this case, if the concentration of the products of a reaction in equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium would shift in such a way that more reactants are formed so as to annul the effects created by the increase in the concentration of the products. Since reactants are always on the left side of chemical equations, it thus means that the equilibrium would shift to the left.

Two flasks are connected by a closed valve. One contains gas particles and the other contains a vacuum. If the valve is opened such that the particles move until they fill both flasks, the process by which the particles can reconvene entirely in one of the flasks is:

Answers

Answer: The process by which the particles can reconvene entirely in one of the flasks is: NONSPONTANEOUS.

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a process can affect the distribution of energy and matter within the system. Different chemical or physical processes have the natural tendency to occur in one direction under a given set of conditions. For example:

--> when water is pour down a hill it naturally flows down but it requires outside energy maybe from a water pump to flow up the hill and ,

--> during an iron rust, iron that is exposed to atmosphere will corrode, but rust is not converted to iron without intentional chemical treatment.

Therefore, a spontaneous process is one that occurs naturally under certain conditions. While a NONSPONTANEOUS process, on the other hand, will not take place unless it is initiated by the continual input of energy from an outside source. A process that is spontaneous in one direction under a particular set of conditions is nonspontaneous in the REVERSE direction.

From the two flasks that where connected through a valve, once the valve was opened, the gas spontaneously becomes evenly distributed between the flasks. To reverse this, it would require an external energy making the reconvening of the particles back to the first flask a NONSPONTANEOUS PROCESS .

Methane (CH4) is the major component of natural gas. 40.0 grams of methane were placed in a commercial calorimeter and subjected to a combustion reaction. The reaction released 2800 kJ of energy.
1. Compare this energy value to the energy values of paraffin and isopropanol. Is methane a good choice as a fuel?

Answers

Based on comparison of energy produced per kilogram, a given mass of methane produces more energy than similar masses of either paraffin or isopropanol, therefore;

Methane is a good choice as a fuel

The reason for the above comparison conclusion is as follows:

The given information:

The details of the combustion of the methane gas, CH₄, are as follows;

The mass of the methane gas placed in the calorimeter, m = 40.0 g

The amount of heat released from the combustion of the 40.0 grams of methane = 2,800 kJ

The data from online resources of paraffin  and isopropanol includes

1. The energy value of paraffin = 46 MJ/kg

The energy value of isopropanol = 33.6 MJ/kg

The energy produced from 1 kilogram of methane gas is given as follows;

40.0 g of methane gas produces 2,800 kJ of energy, therefore;

1 kg = 1,000 g of methane gas will produce, 2,800kJ/(40.0 g) × 1,000 g = 70,000,000 J

Therefore;

1 kg of methane produces 70,000,000 J = 70 MJ of energy

Therefore, energy produced from methane = 70 MJ/kg

Given that methane produces more than twice the amount of energy that

is produced from similar mass of isopropanol and more than one and half

times the amount of energy that is produced from the same mass of

paraffin, methane is a good choice as a fuel for energy

Answers

Answer:

See detailed explanation.

Explanation:

Hey there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to solve this problem by firstly calculating the moles of each element, assuming those percentages are masses, so that we divide by their molar masses:

[tex]C=\frac{18.63}{12.01}=1.55\\\\H=\frac{1.56}{1.01} =1.55\\\\O=\frac{24.82}{16.00}=1.55\\\\Cl=\frac{54.99}{35.45}=1.55[/tex]

Then, we divide all of them by 1.55 to realize the empirical formula is:

[tex]CHOCl[/tex]

Whose molar mass is 64.47 g/mol, and therefore, since the molar mass of these two is the same, we infer the molecular formula is also CHOCl.

The Lewis structure is shown on the attached document, whereas, the central atom is C and it does complete its octet as well as both O and Cl.
