Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents in the following: H2S(aq) + Cl2(g) -> S(s) + 2HCI (aq)

Chemistry

The oxidizing and reducing agent in the above redox reaction are hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and Chlorine (Cl) respectively.

<h3>What is an oxidizing and reducing agent?</h3>

An oxidizing agent is any substance that oxidizes, or receives electrons from another substance and as a result, becoming reduced.

On the other hand, a reducing agent is any substance that reduces or donates electrons to another and as a result becomes oxidized.

According to this reaction; H2S(aq) + Cl2(g) -> S(s) + 2HCI (aq)

  • H2S accepts electrons from Cl2 and becomes reduced to S
  • Cl2 donates electrons to H2S and becomes oxidized to HCl

Therefore, the oxidizing and reducing agent in the above redox reaction are hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and Chlorine (Cl) respectively.

Which state of matter requires special conditions to form and is affected by electric and magnetic fields
amid [387]

Answer:

The uniqueness of the plasma state is due to the importance of electric and magnetic forces that act on a plasma in addition to such forces as gravity that affect all forms of matter.

Which of the following equations does not demonstrate the law of conservation of mass?
enot [183]

The third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

Option 3.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that the sum of the masses of reactants should be equal to the sum of the masses of the products.

For example, if we consider the first option to verify if it obeys law of conservation of mass or not, 2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl

So one way to verify it is to find the mass of Na, then multiply it with 2, and then add this with 2 times of mass of chlorine. So this sum should be equal to the 2 times mass of NaCl. But it is somewhat lengthy.

Another way to easily determine this is to check if the elements are present equally in both sides. Such as, in reactant side and product side 2 atoms of Na is present . Similarly, the Cl atoms are also present in equal number in both reactant and product side. Thus this obeyed the law of conservation of mass.

Like this, if we see the second option, there also 1 atom of Na is present in reactant and product side and 2 molecules of H is present in reactant and product side, 1 oxygen is present in reactant and product side and 1 Cl is present in reactant and product side. So it also obeys the law of conservation of mass.

But in the third option, P₄ + 5 O₂→ 2 P₄O₁₀, here, there is 4 atoms of P in reactant side but in product side there is (4*2) = 8 atoms of P. Similarly, the number of atoms of oxygen in reactants and product side is also not same. So the third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

The fourth option also obeys the law of conservation of mass as the number of atoms of each element is same in both the product and reactant side.

Thus, the third option does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

A sky rocket is launched with a force of 10 N and accelerates at 20 m/s squared what is the mass of this skyrocket
tia_tia [17]

Answer: 0.5 kg

Explanation:

Force of launched skyrocket = 10 N

Acceleration of skyrocket = 20 m/s squared (i.e 20m/s^2)

Mass of the skyrocket = ?

Recall that Force is the product of the mass of an object by the acceleration by which it moves.

i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration

10N = Mass x 20m/s^2

Mass = (10N/20m/s^2)

Mass = 0.5 kg

Thus, the mass of this skyrocket is 0.5 kilograms
