One molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen, the atomicity of water is three.
Answer:
40 seconds chief just double it
Explanation:
Hey there!
The elements in this equation are K, N, O, H, and C.
Let's count how many of each are on each side to see if it is balanced.
K: 2 on the left, 2 on the right.
<em>N: 2 on the left, 4 on the right. </em>
<em>O: 9 on the left, 6 on the right. </em>
<em>H: 2 on the left, 4 on the right. </em>
C: 1 on the left, 1 on the right.
Notice that there are different amounts of N, O, and H on the left side and the right side.
This means that the equation is not balanced.
Hope this helps!
Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.
2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent
Explanation:
In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.
oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.
MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because
On the reactants side
Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7
Oxidation number of Cl- is -1
On the products side
Oxidation number of Mn is +2
While oxidation number of Cl is zero
Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2
