Sodium thiosulfate, Na 2S 2O 3, is used as a "fixer" in black and white photography. Identify the reducing agent in the reaction

of thiosulfate with iodine. 2S 2O 3 2–( aq) + I 2( aq) → S 4O 6 2–( aq) + 2I –( aq)

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}.

Answer:

five half lives

Explanation:

Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

How many half lives it would take to reach 3.13% form 100% of it's initial concentration:

100% - 50% : First Half life

50% - 25%: Second Half life

25% - 12.5%: Third Half life

12.5% - 6.25%: Fourth Half life

6.25% - 3.125%: Fifth Half life

This means it would take five half lives to get to 3.125% (≈ 3.13%) of it's original concentration.

Most continuous spectra are examples of what we also call thermal radiation spectra. Why do we call them "thermal" spectra?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

They are emitted from heated objects

Explanation:

When objects are heated, they emit light at all wavelengths thereby forming a continuous spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation of all wavelengths and colours are usually represented in such spectrum. A thermal spectrum is quite a simple spectrum since it depends on temperature.
