Answer : Al
Explanation :
- For a given redox reaction there must be an oxidizing agent/(s) and a reducing agent/(s).
- the oxidizing agent is the substance that undergoes reduction process (gaining electrons or loss of oxygen atoms), meanwhile, the reducing agent is the substance that undergoes oxidation process (loss of electrons or gaining of oxygen atoms).
- In the reaction above, the oxidation number of (Al) in AlCl3 is (3+). However, the oxidation number of (Al) in the products is zero because it exists as a single element.
Therefore, changing from (3+) to zero means gaining of (3) electrons to neutralize the previously existing (3) protons on (Al) in AlCl3.
So Al is the oxidizing agent..

Let molar mass of X be y
molar mass = 4y + 10 x 16 = 4y+160
so, moles = 85.2 / (4y+160)
Moles of oxygen = 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]
Mass of oxygen = 16 x 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]
which is 48.0
so, 48 = 16 x 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]
Solve the equation to get y.
y = 31
Answer:
³⁸₂₀Ca.
Explanation:
³⁸₁₉K –> __ + ⁰₋₁β
Let ʸₓA represent the unknown.
Thus the equation above can be written as:
³⁸₁₉K –> ʸₓA + ⁰₋₁β
Thus, we can obtain the value of y an x as follow:
38 = y + 0
y = 38
19 = x + (–1)
19 = x – 1
Collect like terms
19 + 1 = x
x = 20
Thus,
ʸₓA => ³⁸₂₀A => ³⁸₂₀Ca
Therefore, the equation is:
³⁸₁₉K –> ³⁸₂₀Ca + ⁰₋₁β
Answer: Aufbau principle
Explanation: Aufbau Principle suggests that in filling electrons into orbitals, lower energy orbitals must be filled before higher energy orbitals.
