There are TWO isotopes of chlorine. Under normal conditions, chlorine exists as diatomic molecule, Cl₂. The mass of the Cl₂ mole

cule is the sum of masses of the two atoms in the molecule. The mass spectrum of Cl₂ has three peaks, as shown below. From this data, what is the mass of the heavier isotope of chlorine (in amu)?
Peak 1- 69.938 amu
Peak 2- 71.935 amu
Peak 3- 73.932 amu

The the mass of the heavier isotope of chlorine (in amu) is 73.932 amu.

<h3>What are isotopes?</h3>

The term isotopes refers atoms that have the same atomic number but different mass number. We must know that all these atoms belong to the same element an differ only in the number of neutrons present in the atom of the element. Hence isotopes are different atoms of the same element hence they have the same chemical properties or reactivity. The mass spectrum is able to show the masses of each of the isotopes according to their order of relative abundance in nature.

Looking at the peaks, we know that the heaviest isotope is the one whose mass will have the highest peak as shown in the mass spectrum of the element as shown. Thus, the the mass of the heavier isotope of chlorine (in amu) is 73.932 amu. The mass spectrum of element also shows this fact.

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Study this chemical reaction:

FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)

Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.

Oxidation:

Reduction:

Answer:

Oxidation taking place in given reaction :

Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction taking place in given reaction;

Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)

Explanation:

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur side by side.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X

FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s) \rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)

In the given reaction, iron(II) ions are getting reduced and zinc metal is getting oxidized to zinc(II) ions.

Oxidation :

Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction ;

Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)

Consider the process in which HClO3 is converted to HClO2. The oxidation state of oxygen remains −2, and the oxidation state of
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Option 1, Cl is reduced and gains electrons

Explanation:

HClO₃  → HClO₂

In HClO₃, chlorine acts with +5 in the oxidation state

In HClO₂,, chlorine acts with +3 in the oxidation state.

The state has been reducted, so the Cl has been reduced. As it was reduced, it means that has won e⁻, in this case 2

Cl⁻⁵  → Cl⁻³  +  2e⁻
