Answer:

D.) reducing agent

Explanation:

Oxidized chemicals gain electrons. In order to gain these electrons, another chemical must lose electrons. So, the chemical (which will be oxidized) acts as a reducing agent, causing the other chemical to be reduced and lose electrons.

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Iron (III) oxide and hydrogen react to form iron and water, like this:

$Fe_2O_3(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3H_2O(g)$

At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a 8.9 L reaction vessel containing a mixture of iron(III) oxide, hydrogen, Iron, and water at equilibrium has the following composition.

Compound Amount

Fe₂O₃ 3.95 g

H₂ 4.77 g

Fe 4.38 g

H₂O 2.00 g

Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer: The value of equilibrium constant for given equation is $1.0\times 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

For hydrogen gas:

Given mass of hydrogen gas = 4.77 g

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

Volume of the solution = 8.9 L

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$\text{Molarity of hydrogen gas}=\frac{4.77}{2\times 8.9}\\\\\text{Molarity of hydrogen gas}=0.268M$

For water:

Given mass of water = 2.00 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Volume of the solution = 8.9 L

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$\text{Molarity of water}=\frac{2.00}{18\times 8.9}\\\\\text{Molarity of water}=0.0125M$

For the given chemical equation:

$Fe_2O_3(s)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3H_2O(g)$

The expression of equilibrium constant for above equation follows:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[H_2O]^3}{[H_2]^3}$

Concentration of pure solids and pure liquids are taken as 1 in equilibrium constant expression.

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_{c}=\frac{(0.0125)^3}{(0.268)^3}\\\\K_{c}=1.0\times 10^{-4}$

Hence, the value of equilibrium constant for given equation is $1.0\times 10^{-4}$

These diagrams show two atoms of fluorine and an atom of magnesium.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The magnesium atom looses two electrons which are accepted by each of the fluorine atoms. (Option D).

<h3>What is an ionic bond?</h3>

An ionic bond is formed when two ions are formed by the loss or gain electrons. In this case, magnesium has to loose two electrons while fluorine will gain two electrons.

Thus, the correct steps in the formation of an ionic bond between these atoms are A magnesium atom donates two electrons to the fluorine atoms → Each fluorine atom accepts one of the electrons → The magnesium atom becomes a +2 ion → Each fluorine atom becomes a -1 ion (Option D).
