Which of the following statements are correct?
a) K > 1
b) ΔGo < 0
c) Eocell < 0
d) n = 2 mol electrons

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Consider the following reaction at 298K.

2 H+(aq) + 2 Cr2+(aq) =H2(g) + 2 Cr3+(aq)

Which of the following statements are correct?

Choose all that apply.

K > 1

ΔGo < 0

Eocell < 0

n = 2 mol electrons

The reaction is reactant-favored.

K > 1

ΔGo < 0

n = 2 mol electrons

Explanation:

If we look at the reaction; 2 H+(aq) + 2 Cr2+(aq) > H2(g) + 2 Cr3+(aq), we will notice that the reaction is a spontaneous reaction because E°cell= 0-(-0.41) = 0.41 V

If the reaction is a spontaneous electrochemical process, we expect it to be product favoured with K>1. Also, a spontaneous reaction must have ∆G<0.

Lastly, we can see that two electrons were transferred according to the balanced equation for the electrochemical reaction.

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.
