beryllium as areducing agent...
« on: January 30, 2009, 11:49:43 AM »
please throw some light on how high energies of atomisation and hydration make beryllium a better reducing agent(though it has less negative electrode reduction value).

Entropy change during formation of Be2+aq from Beaq can be assumed to be 0, so that

During Beaq  :rarrow: Be2+aq +2e-,

E= :delta: Hsublimation +  :delta: Hionization 1 +  :delta: Hionization 2 +  :delta: Hhydration

Also, your statement is contradictory:
"better reducing agent(though it has less negative electrode reduction value)."
