C2H4 is oxidized and O2 is reduced in both reactions.

<h3>What is oxidation/reduction?</h3>

Oxidation is defined in several ways. Some of the definitions are:

  1. The addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen
  2. Increase in the oxidation number of atoms
  3. Addition of electronegative or the removal of electropositive elements

Reduction, on the other hand, is defined as:

  1. Removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen
  2. Decrease in the oxidation number of atoms
  3. Addition of electropositive elements or the removal of electronegative elements.

In the two reactions, oxygen is being added to C2H4. Thus, C2H4 is being oxidized.

The oxidizing agent is O2. In oxidation reactions, the oxidizing agents usually get reduced. Thus, O2 is reduced in both reactions.

What is the mass of arsenic that is contained in a 50.0 g sample if the concentration is 5 ppm?
faltersainse [42]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of arsenic found in the sample is 0.25 mg

<u>Explanation:</u>

ppm is the amount of solute (in milligrams) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:

\text{ppm}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^6

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Concentration of arsenic = 5 ppm

Mass of sample = 50 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5=\frac{\text{Mass of arsenic}}{50g}\times 10^6\\\\\text{Mass of arsenic}=\frac{5\times 50}{10^6}=0.00025g=0.25mg

<u>Conversion factor used:</u>  1 g = 1000 mg

Hence, the mass of arsenic found in the sample is 0.25 mg
