The given reaction is certainly a redox reaction. The metal, as is typical, is oxidized, $Zn(0)rarrZn(+II)$, and the non-metal is reduced, $Cl_2(0)rarrCl(-I)$,. Generation of $"ferric chloride"$ represents another redox equation:...
1 Answers 1 viewsSo, you have to balance 2 unspecified equations. I'll give you 2, which might or not be suitable. Firstly, combustion of hexane (the which drives your motor!): $C_6H_14(g) + 19/2O_2(g)...
1 Answers 1 views$2HNO_3 + 3H_2S rarr 3Sdarr +2NOuarr +4H_2O$ Can you write the redox half equations? Nitrate ion, $N(+V)$, is reduced to nitrous oxide, $N(+II)$. $HNO_3 + 3H^(+) +3e^(-) rarr NO +...
1 Answers 1 viewsYou're off to a nice start. The balanced form of the chemical equation you have provided is: $C_5H_8+7O_2->5CO_2+4H_2O$
1 Answers 1 viewsThe key to identifying oxidation-reduction reactions is recognizing when a chemical reaction leads to a change in the oxidation number of one or more atoms. You have probably learned the...
1 Answers 1 viewsYou really have to make a meal out of these redox equations. Permanganate ion (STRONGLY COLOURED PURPLE) could be reduced to almost colourless $Mn^(2+)$.... $stackrel(+VII)[MnO_4]^(-) +8H^(+) + 5e^(-) rarr Mn^(2+)...
1 Answers 1 viewsAnd thus, when zerovalent, i.e. elemental, iron is oxidized, we represent the oxidation on these terms: $Fe rarr Fe^(2+) + 2e^-$ $(i)$ On the other hand, $"reduction is the formal...
1 Answers 1 viewsOften a little $"manganese(IV) oxide"$ is added to these reactions, as an oxygen transfer reagent, i.e. a catalyst. Given the , moles of $"potassium chloride"$ produced are CLEARLY equal...
1 Answers 1 viewsa) Using the mole ratio from the equation, $5$ mols of $"O"_2$ will produce $3$ mols of $"CO"_2$. Therefore, the ratio of $"O"_2$ used to $"CO"_2$ produced will be $1:3/5$....
1 Answers 1 views$77.8*g-18.0*g$ oxygen gas reacted, and $22.8*g$ carbon was consumed. Given complete combustion, CLEARLY, $(59.8+22.8)*g=82.6*g$ $CO_2(g)$ were produced. Why $"CLEARLY?"$. Because mass is conserved in all chemical reactions. $"Garbage in must...
