Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.
2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent
Explanation:
In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.
oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.
MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because
On the reactants side
Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7
Oxidation number of Cl- is -1
On the products side
Oxidation number of Mn is +2
While oxidation number of Cl is zero
Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2
I think it might just might be e
Answer:
[Ne] 3s2 3p2
Explanation:
Neon (Ne) is the noble gas right before silicon (Si).
Then right after neon is the 3s subshell. It has two electrons and is full.
After 3s comes the 3p subshell, and silicon only has two electrons in the 3p subshell (you can just count the electrons in each subshell on your periodic table).
You just need the number of protons and number of neutrons as the mass of eelctrons is negligible
1. Color changes.
The Statue of Liberty, though known for its green color, was originally covered in a layer of copper. After a redox (reduction-oxidation reaction) the color changed due to a chemical change.
2. Gas Production
3. Light Produced
Light sticks work as the result of a chemical reaction between hydrogen peroxide and phenol oxalate ester.
4. Temperature Changes
5. Volume Change
