In this reaction, Cr2O3 is the oxidizing agent which will oxidize Al to Al2O3.

Al is the reducing agent that will reduce Cr2O3 to Cr.

An oxidizing agent has the property of oxidizing another molecule (giving it one or more oxygen atoms) by being reduced.

A reducing agent has the property of reducing another molecule (by removing one or more oxygen molecules) by being oxidized.

Cr2O3+ 2Al -----------> 2Cr+ Al2O3

Cr2O3--------2Cr.
( oxidation no. of cr +3 to +1 means hain of electron so it act as oxidizing agent)

similarly,

2Al------> Al2O3
( oxidation no. of Al +1 to +3 means loss of electron so it act as reducing agent)

How do you know what numbers in a chemical formula are significant
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

All the numbers in a chemical formula are significant, It is because the numbers in a chemical formula denote the number of different atoms present in the particular compound.

For example in H2SO4 there are 2 H 1 S and 4 O. This means 1 H2SO4 has 2 hydrogen 1 sulphur and 4 oxygen.

4.50 g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 1
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

\mathbf{C_{10}H_8}   ( Naphthalene )

Explanation:

Given that:

4.50 g of a Compound X is made up of Carbon , Hydron and Oxygen

It's molecular molar mass = 128 g/mol

Compound X undergoes combustion reaction and the product yield :

CO_2 with mass 15.47g and :

H_2O with mass 2.53 g

The objective is to use this information to determine the molecular formula of X.

We all know that ; number of moles = mass/molar mass

where the molar mass of H_2O is 18 g/mol

number of moles of H_2O product = 2.53 g/18 g/mol

number of moles of H_2O product = 0.1406 moles

Also; the molar mass of CO_2 product = 44 g/mol

number of moles of CO_2 product = 15.47g/ 44 g/mol

number of moles of CO_2 product =  0.3516 moles

number of moles of Compound X in the reactant side= 4.50 g /128 g/mol

number of moles of Compound X n the reactant side= 0.03516 moles

Now; number number of moles of CO_2 in reactant = 0.3516 moles/0.03516 moles

Now; number number of moles of CO_2 in reactant = 10

number of moles of H_2O reactant = 0.1406 moles × 2/0.03516

number of moles of H_2O reactant = 7.997 ≅ 8

Since we said the Compound X is known to be made of Carbon C , Hydrogen H and Oxygen O

Then the molecular formula can be written as :

\mathbf{C_{10}H_8O_{x}}

In order to find the x; we have

128  = (12 × 10 + 1 × 8 + 16 × x)

128 = 120 + 8 + 16x)

128  =  128 + 16 x

128 - 128 = 16 x

0 = 16 x

x = 0/16

x = 0

As x = 0 ; hence there are no oxygen present in the reaction

Thus; the molecular formula of Compound X = \mathbf{C_{10}H_8} which is also known as Naphthalene
