Which unit can be used to express solution concentration?

What substance is reduced in the reaction 2Fe 2+ + CI2 = 2Fe 3+ + 2CI- ?

atroni [7]

Answer:

$Cl_{2}$ is reduced in the reaction

Explanation:

The given reaction is

$2Fe^{2+}+Cl_{2} \to 2Fe^{3+}+2Cl^{-}$

The oxidation number of $Fe$ is changed from $+2\, \to \, +3$

$Fe^{2+} \to Fe^{3+}+e^{-}$

And The oxidation number of $Cl$ is changed from $0\, \to \, -1$

$Cl_{2}^{0} + 2e^{-} \to 2Cl^{-}$

Hence, $Fe^{2+}$ is oxidized and $Cl_{2}$ is reduced

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide reacts by the following equation:

$\text{HCl} \; (aq) + \text{NaOH} \; (aq) \to \text{NaCl} \; (aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O} \; (aq)$

which is equivalent to

$\text{H}^{+} \; (aq) + \text{OH}^{-} \; (aq) \to \text{H}_2\text{O}\; (l)$

The question states that the second equation has an enthalpy, or "heat", of neutralization of $-56.2 \; \text{kJ}$ . Thus the combination of every mole of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in solution would produce $56.2 \; \text{kJ}$ or $56.2 \times 10^{3}\; \text{J}$ of energy.

500 milliliter of a 0.50 mol per liter "M" solution contains 0.25 moles of the solute. There are thus 0.25 moles of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in the two 0.500 milliliter solutions, respectively. They would combine to release $0.25 \times 56.2 \times 10^{3} = 1.405 \times 10^{4} \; \text{J}$ of energy.

Both the solution and the calorimeter absorb energy released in this neutralization reaction. Their temperature change is dependent on the heat capacity <em>C</em> of the two objects, combined.

The question has given the heat capacity of the calorimeter directly.

The heat capacity (the one without mass in the unit) of water is to be calculated from its mass and <em>specific</em> heat.

The calorimeter contains 1.00 liters or $1.00 \times 10^{3} \; \text{ml}$ of the 1.0 gram per milliliter solution. Accordingly, it would have a mass of $1.00 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g}$ .

The solution has a specific heat of $4.184 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}$ . The solution thus have a heat capacity of $4.184 \times 1.00 \times 10^{3} = 4.184 \times 10^{3} \; \text{J} \cdot\text{K}^{-1}$ . Note that one degree Kelvins K is equivalent to one degree celsius ℃ in temperature change measurements.

The calorimeter-solution system thus has a heat capacity of $4.634 \times 10^{3} \; \text{J} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}$ , meaning that its temperature would rise by 1 degree celsius on the absorption of 4.634 × 10³ joules of energy. $1.405 \times 10^{4} \; \text{J}$ are available from the reaction. Thus, the temperature of the system shall have risen by 3.03 degrees celsius to 24.6 degrees celsius by the end of the reaction.
