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}.

Q.1

Given-

Volume of solution-1 L

Molarity of solution -6M

to find gms of AgNO3-?

Molarity = number of moles of solute/volume of solution in litre

number of moles of solute = 6×1= 6moles

one moles of AgNO3 weighs 169.87 g

so mass of 6 moles of AgNO3 = 169.87×6=1019.22

so you need 1019.22 g of AgNO3 to make 1.0 L of a 6.0 M solution

Convert 1.248×1010 g to each of the following units.
Leona [35]

Answer:

a) 1.248 x 10⁷ kg

b) 1.248 x 10⁴ Mg

c) 1.248 x 10¹³ mg

d) 1.248 x 10⁴ ton

Explanation:

a) Since 1000 g = 1 kg we can convert grams to kg by multiplyig any given quantity in grams by the conversion factor ( 1 kg / 1000 g):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * (1 kg / 1000 g) = 1.248 x 10⁷ kg

b) Since 1 Mg = 1 x 10⁶ g, the conversion factor will be ( 1 Mg / 1 x 10⁶ g):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * (  1 Mg / 1 x 10⁶ g) = 1.248 x 10⁴ Mg

c) Since 1 mg = 1 x 10⁻³ g, the conversion factor will be ( 1 mg / 1 x 10⁻³ g):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g ( 1 mg / 1 x 10⁻³ g) = 1.248 x 10¹³ mg

d) Since 1 metric ton = 1000 kg and 1000 g = 1 kg, we can use these conversions factors: ( 1 kg / 1000 g) and (1 ton / 1000 kg):

1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * ( 1 kg / 1000 g) * ( 1 ton / 1000 kg) = 1.248 x 10⁴ ton

Most enzymes work best at 37C because at lower and higher temperatures, the conditions are not optimal for their performance. Ex
finlep [7]

That's because the solubility

  • Temperature is directly proportional to solubility

Higher the solubility higher the temperature

Lower the temperature lower the solubility

So

Less temperature makes enzymes work faster
