In the following redox reaction, the reducing agent is MnO2 (option D). Details about reducing agent can be found below.

<h3>What is a reducing agent?</h3>

A reducing agent in a redox reaction is any substance that reduces, or donates electrons to another, hence, it becomes oxidized.

According to this question, a redox reaction is given as follows: MnO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + 2Cl–(aq) = Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) + Cl2(g)

As shown in the equation, MnO2 is oxidized into Mn2+, therefore, it is the reducing agent.

Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when equal volumes of 0.546 M aqueous acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) a

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$C_9H_8O_4+C_2H_3O_2^-\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+C_9H_7O_4^-$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to figure out the required net ionic equation by firstly writing out the complete molecular equation between aspirin and sodium acetate:

$C_9H_8O_4+NaC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+NaC_9H_7O_4$

Whereas acetic acid and sodium acetylsalicylate are formed. Now, we write the complete ionic equation whereby sodium acetate and sodium acetylsalicylate are ionized because they are salts yet neither aspirin nor acetic acid are ionized as they are weak acids:

$C_9H_8O_4+Na^++C_2H_3O_2^-\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+Na^++C_9H_7O_4^-$

Finally, for the net ionic equation we cancel out the sodium spectator ions to obtain:

$C_9H_8O_4+C_2H_3O_2^-\rightarrow C_2H_4O_2+C_9H_7O_4^-$

Regards!

How many particles are present in 12.47 grams of NaCl

liq [111]

Answer:

1.26*10²³ particles are present in 12.47 grams of NaCl

Explanation:

Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023 * 10²³ particles per mole. The Avogadro number applies to any substance.

So, first of all you must know the amount of moles that represent 12.47 grams of NaCl. For that it is necessary to know the molar mass.

You know:

Na: 23 g/mole
Cl: 35.45 g/mole

So the molar mass of NaCl is: 23 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 58.45 g/mole

Now you apply a rule of three as follows: if 58.45 grams are present in 1 mole of NaCl, 12.47 grams in how many moles will they be?

$moles=\frac{12.47 grams*1 mole}{58.45 grams}$

moles= 0.21

You apply a rule of three again, knowing Avogadro's number: if in 1 mole of NaCl there are 6,023 * 10²³ particles, in 0.21 moles how many particles are there?

$number of particles=\frac{0.21 moles*6.023*10^{23} }{1 mole}$
