Reduction <span>always results in a lowering of the oxidation number. The reaction of the system above is written as:
</span><span>Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) --> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq)
</span>
From the reaction, we see that copper goes from the +2 to a neutral charge. Lowering of the oxidation number happens so this is the element that is being reduced.
Answer: ΔH for the reaction is -277.4 kJ
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction is,
The expression for enthalpy change is,
![\Delta H=\sum [n\times \Delta H(products)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H(reactant)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%3D%5Csum%20%5Bn%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%28products%29%5D-%5Csum%20%5Bn%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H%28reactant%29%5D)
![\Delta H=[(n_{CCl_4}\times \Delta H_{CCl_4})+(n_{HCl}\times B.E_{HCl}) ]-[(n_{CH_4}\times \Delta H_{CH_4})+n_{Cl_2}\times \Delta H_{Cl_2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%3D%5B%28n_%7BCCl_4%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BCCl_4%7D%29%2B%28n_%7BHCl%7D%5Ctimes%20B.E_%7BHCl%7D%29%20%5D-%5B%28n_%7BCH_4%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BCH_4%7D%29%2Bn_%7BCl_2%7D%5Ctimes%20%5CDelta%20H_%7BCl_2%7D%5D)
where,
n = number of moles
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get
![\Delta H=[(1\times -139)+(1\times -92.31) ]-[(1\times -74.87)+(1\times 121.0]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5CDelta%20H%3D%5B%281%5Ctimes%20-139%29%2B%281%5Ctimes%20-92.31%29%20%5D-%5B%281%5Ctimes%20-74.87%29%2B%281%5Ctimes%20121.0%5D)
Therefore, the enthalpy change for this reaction is, -277.4 kJ
1st one is Science and the 2nd one is Bias
All organic substances contain carbon atoms.
Answer:
