- One of the few industrial-scale processes that produce organic compounds electrochemically is used by the Monsanto Company to produce1,4-dicyanobutane. The reduction reaction is 2CH2CHCH+2H++2eNC(CH2)4CN The NC(CH2)4CN is then chemically reduced using hydrogen gas to H2N(CH2)6NH2, which is used in the production of nylon. What current must be used to produce 150.kg NC(CH2)4CN per hour?arrow_forwardBromine is obtained from sea water by the following redox reaction: Cl2(g) + 2 NaBr(aq) 2 NaCl(aq) + Br2() (a) What has been oxidized? What has been reduced? (b) Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents.arrow_forwardGold can be dissolved from gold-bearing rock by treating the rock with sodium cyanide in the presence of oxygen. 4 Au(s) + 8 NaCN(aq) + O2(g) + 2 H2O() 4 NaAu(CN)2(aq) + 4 NaOH(aq) (a) Name the oxidizing and reducing agents in this reaction. What has been oxidized, and what has been reduced? (b) If you have exactly one metric ton (1 metric ton = 1000 kg) of gold-bearing rock, what volume of 0.075 M NaCN, in liters, do you need to extract the gold if the rock is 0.019% gold?arrow_forward
- Sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3, is used as a fixer in black-and-white photography. Suppose you have a bottle of sodium thiosulfate and want to determine its purity. The thiosulfate ion can be oxidized with I2 according to the balanced, net ionic equation I2(aq) + 2 S2O32(aq) 2 I(aq) + S4O62 (aq) If you use 40.21 mL of 0.246 M I2 in a titration, what is the weight percent of Na2S2O3 in a 3.232-g sample of impure material?arrow_forwardThe blood alcohol (C2H5OH) level can be determined by titrating a sample of blood plasma with an acidic potassium di-chromate solution, resulting in the production of Cr3+ (aq) and carbon dioxide. The reaction can be monitored because the dichromate ion (Cr2O72) is orange in solution, and the Cr3+ ion is green. The balanced equations is 16H+(aq) + 2Cr2O72(aq) + C2H5OH(aq) 4Cr4+(aq) + 2CO2(g) + 11H2O(l) This reaction is an oxidationreduction reaction. What species is reduced, and what species is oxidized? How many electrons are transferred in the balanced equation above?arrow_forwardXenon trioxide, XeO3, reacts with aqueous base to form the xenate anion, HXeO4. This ion reacts further with OH to form the perxenate anion, XeO64, in the following reaction: 2HXeO4(aq)+2OH(aq)XeO64(aq)+Xe(g)+O2(g)+2H2O(l) Identify the elements that are oxidized and reduced in this reaction. You will note that the equation is balanced with respect to the number of atoms on either side. Verify that the redox part of this equation is also balanced, that is, that the extents of oxidation and reduction are also equal.arrow_forward

Before disposal, it will be reacted with calcium hydroxide (slaked lime), which costs $0.23 per pound. (a) Write the balanced chemical equation for this process. (b) Determine the cost that the firm will incur from this use of slaked lime.arrow_forward4.22 Generally, an excess of O2 is needed for the reaction Sn+O2SnO2 . What is the minimum number of moles of oxygen required to oxidize 7.3 moles of tin?arrow_forwardThe Toliens test for the presence of reducing sugars (say, in a urine sample) involves treating the sample with silver ions in aqueous ammonia. The result is the formation of a silver mirror within the reaction vessel if a reducing sugar is present. Using glucose, C6H12O6, to illustrate this test, the oxidation-reduction reaction occurring is C6H12O6 (aq) + 2 Ag+(aq) + 2OH(aq) C6H12O7(aq) + 2 Ag(s) + H2O() What has been oxidized, and what has been reduced?

The products of the reaction, N2 and H2O, are not toxic. Write the balanced equation for this reaction. Assign an oxidation number to each element in the reactants and products, and indicate which element is oxidized and which is reduced.arrow_forwardTriiodide ions are generated in solution by the following (unbalanced) reaction in acidic solution: IO3(aq) + I(aq) I3(aq) Triiodide ion concentration is determined by titration with a sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) solution.
