a. An oxidation reaction. An oxidation reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species.
Answer:
Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ OXIDATION
Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s) REDUCTION
Explanation:
The redox reaction is: MgCl₂(aq) + Fe(s) → FeCl₂(aq) + Mg(s)
We need to know that elements in ground state have 0 as the oxidation state.
Iron in the reactants, and Mg in the products
In the magnessium chloride, the Mg acts with+2, so the oxidation state has decreased → REDUCTION
In the iron(II) chloride, the Fe acts with +2, so the oxidation statehas increased → OXIDATION
The half reactions are:
Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ OXIDATION
Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s) REDUCTION
Answer: +178.3 kJ
Explanation:
The chemical equation follows:
The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
The DH°rxn for the decomposition of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide is +178.3 kJ
Answer: The solubility of this compound in pure water is 0.012 M
Explanation:
Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as
The equation for the ionization of the is given as:
By stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mole of gives 1 mole of and 2 mole of
When the solubility of is S moles/liter, then the solubility of will be S moles\liter and solubility of will be 2S moles/liter.
Thus solubility of this compound in pure water is 0.012 M
