Answer:

Ni (s) is oxidized because it loses electrons. This makes it the reducing agent.

CuCl₂ (aq) is reduced because it gains electrons. This makes it the oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

In the reaction:

Ni(s) + CuCl₂(aq) → Cu(s) + NiCl₂(aq)

Ni (s) is oxidized because it loses electrons. This makes it the reducing agent.

------------> Ni (s) has an oxidation number of 0. All lone atoms (that are not ions) have a 0 oxidation number.

-------------> In NiCl₂ (aq), chlorine must have an oxidation number of -1, and because there are two chorine atoms, they contribute a total -2 charge. To make the overall charge neutral, nickel must have an oxidation number of +2 to balance the charges.

--------------> Because nickel goes from an oxidation number of 0 to +2, this indicates that it lost electrons and was reduced.

CuCl₂ (aq) is reduced because it gains electrons. This makes it the oxidizing agent.

-------------> In CuCl₂ (aq), chlorine must have an oxidation number of -1, and because there are two chorine atoms, they contribute a total -2 charge. To make the overall charge neutral, copper must have an oxidation number of +2 to balance the charges.

------------> Cu (s) has an oxidation number of 0. All lone atoms (that are not ions) have a 0 oxidation number.

--------------> Because copper goes from an oxidation number of +2 to 0, this indicates that it gained electrons and was oxidized.

What mass of potassium chloride, KCl, is produced when 12.6 g of oxygen, 02, is produced?
blagie [28]

Mass of KCl= 19.57 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

12.6 g of Oxygen

Required

mass of KCl

Solution

Reaction

2KClO3 ⇒ 2KCl + 3O2

mol O2 :

= mass : MW

= 12.6 : 32 g/mol

= 0.39375

From the equation, mol KCl :

= 2/3 x mol O2

= 2/3 x 0.39375

=0.2625

Mass KCl :

= mol x MW

= 0.2625 x 74,5513 g/mol

= 19.57 g
