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

1 answer:

8 0

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.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 8.75 grams of sodium chloride in enough volume of water to produce 112.0 grams of the NaCl

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer : The percent by mass of the solution is 7.81 %

Explanation : Given,

Mass of NaCl = 8.75 g

Mass of solution = 112.0 g

Now we have to determine the percent by mass of the solution.

$\text{Mass percent}=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 100$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent}=\frac{8.75g}{112.0g}\times 100=7.81\%$

Therefore, the percent by mass of the solution is 7.81 %
