The element that gains electrons, becomes reduced.

While the one which loses electrons, becomes oxidized.

In this equation,

CH₃OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻---- --> CH₂O + Cr³⁺.

By balancing the equation, we will get:

3CH₃OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 8H⁺ --> 3CH₂O + 2Cr³⁺ + 7H₂O

Here the oxidation state of Cr changes from +6 to +3 that is it is being reduced thus serving as a oxidizing agent while other element retain their charges.

Here Cr₂O₇²⁻ is reduced while CH₃OH is oxidized.

So Cr₂O₇²⁻ serves as a oxidizing agent, while CH₃OH serves as reducing agent .

How many carbon atoms are there in .500 mol of CO2?

AURORKA [14]

Answer: There are $3.011 \times 10^{23}$ atoms present in 0.500 mol of $CO_{2}$ .

Explanation:

According to the mole concept, there are $6.022 \times 10^{23}$ atoms present in 1 mole of a substance.

In a molecule of $CO_{2}$ there is only one carbon atom present. Therefore, number of carbon atoms present in 0.500 mol of $CO_{2}$ are as follows.

$1 \times 0.500 \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\\= 3.011 \times 10^{23}$

Thus, we can conclude that there are $3.011 \times 10^{23}$ atoms present in 0.500 mol of $CO_{2}$ .

When I2 and FeCl2 are mixed together, iodine (I) cannot replace chlorine (Cl) in the compound because iodine is lower on the per

Nata [24]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation: If this reaction would have occurred, then this reaction would be considered as displacement reaction.

Displacement reactions are the reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element in a chemical reaction. This is based on the reactivity of elements.

Reactivity of elements is the tendency of the elements to gain or loose electrons. The reactivity decreases down the group in a periodic table.

In the given reaction, Iodine and chlorine are the elements of the same group in the periodic table and iodine lies below chlorine in the group. So, the reactivity of iodine is less than the reactivity of chlorine.

Hence, in the given reaction, iodine will not replace chlorine because it lies below in the periodic table.

$FeCl_2+I_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-

hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between $Zn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)$

First Formula would be $ZnF_{2}$

Second empirical formula is between $Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)$

Second Formula would be $Zn_{2}O_{2}$

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so $Zn_{2}O_{2}$ would be written as $ZnO$

Third empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)$

Third Formula would be : $NiF_{4}$

Forth empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)$

Forth Formula would be : $Ni_{2}O_{4}$ or $NiO_{2}$

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as $NiO_{2}$ .

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : $ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}$

Balance the equation and write the reaction-quotient expression, qc. u(s) + f2(g) ----> uf6(g)

Alona [7]

The equation presented above is that of uranium reacting with fluorine forming uranium fluoride.

The chemical reaction can be balanced by carefully studying the equation and balancing the number of atoms of each of the element in both sides of the chemical reaction. That is,

<em> U(s) + 3F₂(g) --> UF₆(g)</em>
