Answer: Reducing agent in the given reaction is
.
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
is +2 and
has 0 oxidation state.
In
oxidation state of S is 2.5 and in
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
.
Answer:
single replacement reaction
Explanation:
This is a kind of single replacement reaction where you switch either cations or anions. Here you switched Ca for H and produced Cacl2 and H2 gas by itself.
Hard question !! Is this math .. if not then oh okay cause I’m bad at math but good at everything else so let me think about it !
All of the lower case letters are recessive
Metals usually become cations since electrons are negatively charged and when they are lost there are more protons than electrons making a positive net charge in the atom. (cations are positively charged ions while anions are negatively charged ions)
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
