Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The electrons gained and lose should be explained in the given reaction.
Concept Introduction:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation that contains same number of atoms as well as of each element of reactants and products of reaction.
Oxidation means increase in oxidation state and reduction means decrease in oxidation state.
(b)
Interpretation:
The electrons gained and lose should be explained in the given reaction.
Concept Introduction:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation that contains same number of atoms as well as of each element of reactants and products of reaction.
Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is a reaction in which one reactant is oxidized and another is reduced. In oxidation reaction, electrons are lost by the reactant or electrons are present on product side of the reaction. In reduction reaction, electrons are added to the reactant or electrons are present on reactant side of the reaction.
Oxidation means increase in oxidation state and reduction means decrease in oxidation state.

- Note that for each of the four reactions, one of the gray boxes will be left blank and the other will be filled with electron(s). Use the symbol e– to represent an electron. +Fe^2+(aq) --> Fe^3+(aq) +arrow_forwardWhat is the ΔS for H2O (l) + CaO (s) --> Ca(OH)2 (s) ?arrow_forwardWhat is the enthalpy change if 45.0 g of CaO is allowed to react with an excess of carbon?arrow_forward
- Lithium oxide is an effective absorber of carbon dioxide and can be used to purify air in confined areas such as space vehicles. What volume of carbon dioxide can be absorbed by 1.00 kg of lithium oxide at 0°C and 1.00 atm? Li2O(aq) + CO2(g) → Li2CO3(s)arrow_forwardThe reaction of quicklime, CaO, with water produces slaked lime, Ca(OH)2, which is widely used in the construction industry to make mortar and plaster. The reaction of quicklime and water is highly exothermic: CaO(s)+H2O(l)Ca(OH)2(s)H=350kJmol1 (a) What is the enthalpy of reaction per gram of quicklime that reacts?. (b) How much heat, in kilojoules, is associated with the production of 1 ton of slaked lime?arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction: 2H2 + O2--> 2H2O Hrxn= -483.6 kj/mol a. is this reaction endothermic or exothermic?
