Consider the following redox reaction and answer the questions below: clo4−+cl−⇋ a) how many total electrons are transferred in this redox reaction? b) will there be more, less, or the same number of electrons transferred in acidic conditions, when compared to basic conditions? explain. c) using the pdf containing the crc handbook electrochemical half-cell reduction potentials, determine if this chemical equilibrium will occur spontaneously. d) write the standard cell notation for acidic conditions. e) how will the cell potential be affected by an increase in ph?

geosphere and hydrosphere.

this is because the geosphere has to do with geological events, while the hydrosphere controls all water on earth.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
