Answer: Reducing agent in the given reaction is S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}.

Explanation:

A reducing agent is defined as an element which tends to lose electrons to other element leading to an increase in its oxidation number.

In the given reaction, oxidation state of sulfur in S_{2}O^{2-}_{3} is +2 and I_{2}(aq) has 0 oxidation state.

In S_{4}O^{2-}_{6}(aq) oxidation state of S is 2.5 and in 2I^{-}(aq) oxidation state of I is -1.

Since, an increase in oxidation state of S is occurring from +2 to +2.5. Hence, it is acting as a reducing agent.

Thus, we can conclude that reducing agent in the given reaction is S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}.

Which property of a mineral sample does not influence how quickly it settles in water? 1) density 2) hardness 3) shape 4) size
satela [25.4K]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

4) size

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • The mineral’s physical properties are used in identifying minerals and are determined by its chemical composition and crystal structure.
  • <u>Streak</u> is the color of the mineral in powdered form and since it is a more accurate illustration of the mineral’s color, its is a more reliable property of minerals than color for identification.
  • <u>Hardness</u> is one of the better properties of minerals to use for identifying a mineral. Hardness is a measure of the mineral’s resistance to scratching.
  • <u>Density</u> may be used to identify minerals. It is used to describe the amount of matter in a certain amount of space. Substances that have more matter packed into a given space have higher densities.

In the reaction n2 + 3h2 ---&gt; 2nh3, how many grams of nh3 are produced if 25.0 g n2 reacts with excess h2? question 10 option
Lisa [10]
Molar mass of N2 = 28

Moles of N2 = 25 / 28 = 0.89

So, moles of NH3 produce = 2 x 0.89 = 1.78 

Note: H2 is in excess. so no need to care about it.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

HCl is not a catalyst because these are not used up during the chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the performed experiments, it is possible for us to realize that HCl cannot be a catalyst for this reaction because it is used up during the reaction. This is explained by the fact that catalyst are able to return to the original form once the reaction has gone to completion; this is the example of palladium in the hydrogenation or dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons depending on the case. Moreover, we know that the catalysts increase the reaction rate because they decrease the activation energy of the reaction and therefore the student observed such increase.

Best regards!
