Study this chemical reaction: pb + 2cl2 = pbcl4then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction. oxidation: :

Oxidation: Pb → Pb⁴⁺ + 4 e⁻

Reduction: 2 Cl₂ + 4 e⁻ → 4 Cl⁻

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

Pb + 2 Cl₂ ⇄ PbCl₄

We can identify both half-reactions.

Oxidation: Pb → Pb⁴⁺ + 4 e⁻

Reduction: 2 Cl₂ + 4 e⁻ → 4 Cl⁻

Pb is oxidized and its oxidation number increases from 0 to 4+ while Cl₂ is reduced and its oxidation number decreases from 0 to 1-.

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
