Balance each skeleton reaction, use Appendix D to calculate Ecell , and state whether the reaction is spontaneous:(b) AgCl}(s) + NO(g) → Ag}(s) + Cl⁻(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) [acidic]

Respuesta :

Skeleton equation = AgCl}(s) + NO(g) → Ag}(s) + Cl⁻(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

First of all, we Have to split the skeleton reaction into two half-reactions Oxidation state of Ag inits AgCl is +1, and in elemental Ag formis 0 Oxidation state of Nin NO is +2 and in NO; formis +5.

Step: 1 oxidation half-reaction: NO → NO₃⁻

reduction half-reaction: AgCl →  Ag

Step: 2 balancing oxidation half-reaction

NO → NO₃⁻

NO +2H2O →  NO₃⁻

NO +2H2O → NO₃⁻ +4H+

NO +2H2O →  NO₃⁻ +4H+ + 3-e

Step :3 balancing reduction half-reaction

AgCl →  Ag

AgCl →  Ag +CI-

AgCl +1e- → Ag+ Cl-

Step 4: equalize the roof electron lost in the oxidation half-reaction and no of electrons gained in the reduction half-reaction.

(AgCl +1e- → Ag+Cl-)x3

NO +2H2O→  NO-3 + 4H+ +3e-

Step 5:adding both the half-reactions

3AgCl + 3e- → 3Ag + 3Cl-

                +

NO +2H2O→  NO-3 + 4H+ +3e-

= 3AgCl + NO+2H2O → 3Ag + 3Cl- + NO-3 + 4H+

Cell: NO/NO3//AgCl/Ag

Ecell =  Ecathod +  Eanode

            = EAgCl/Ag + ENO/NO3

              = 0.22V - 0.96V

              = -0.74V

Ecell is negative. so the reaction is non-spontaneous in nature.

A chemical reaction is a technique wherein one or greater materials, additionally called reactants, are converted to 1 or extra unique materials, called products. materials are both chemical elements or compounds.

A chemical reaction takes place when one or greater chemical compounds are modified into one or greater different chemical compounds. Examples: iron and oxygen combine to make rust. vinegar and baking soda combine to make sodium acetate, carbon dioxide, and water.
