Why are half-reactions used in redox reactions? A) They make it possible to neglect the electrons that are being transferred.
B) they make it easier to keep track of spectator ions
C) They make it easier to see the oxidation and reduction parts of the reactions separately.
d) They make balancing the number of atoms in the reaction unnecassary

Two atoms interact with each other as shown by the equation. complete the equation by filling in the missing parts. 1 2 3 4 5 h he li

Straightforward questions answered in the powerpoint slidesreaction: heating the starting materials under refluxwhat does it mean to heat under reflux? why do we choose water as the reflux solvent? what are boiling chips used for? why do we put a condenser on top of the reaction? why do we add heat and let the reaction stir for 30 minutes? why do we add sulfuric acid to the reaction after it cools as opposed to when it’s still hot? separation: filtration of precipitatewhy don’t we do an aqueous and organic extraction in the separatory funnel? why do you rinse the salicylic acid on the filter with ice cold water? purification: recrystallization of salicylic acid (no hot filtration needed)what is the difference in the amount of room temperature water vs. boiling water needed to dissolve the salicylic acid (assume a 1.2 gram yield of salicylic acid)? remember, in the lab if you need x ml of boiling water to dissolve a solid, then you should add a little more (definitely no more than 1.5 times the theoretical amount) to ensure it doesn’t recrystallize prematurely.analysis: melting point of salicylic acidwhat can you conclude if the melting point of the salicylic acid you just synthesized is 152-155oc and the 1: 1 mix of your product and “synthetic” salicylic acid is 151-154oc?

Given the following at 25c calculate delta hf for hcn (g) at 25c. 2nh3 (g) +3o2 (g) + 2ch4 (g) > 2hcn (g) + 6h2o (g) delta h rxn= -870.8 kj. delta hf=-80.3 kj/mol for nh3 (g), -74.6 kj/mol for ch4, and -241.8 kj/mol for h2o (g)
