Answer:

1. The balanced equation is given below:

Sn (s) + 2HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

2a. H is oxidized.

2b. Sn is reduced.

Explanation:

1. Balanced equation for the reaction between tin (Sn) metal and aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce tin(II) chloride (SnCl₂) and hydrogen gas (H₂).

This is illustrated below:

Sn (s) + HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

There are 2 atoms of Cl on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HCl as shown below:

Sn (s) + 2HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

Now, the equation is balanced

2. Determination of the element that is oxidize and reduced.

This can be obtained as follow:

We shall determine the change in oxidation number of each element.

NOTE:

a. The oxidation number of H is always +1 except in hydrides where it is –1.

b. The oxidation state of Cl is always –1.

Sn (s) + 2HCl (aq) –> SnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

For Tin (Sn):

Sn = 0

SnCl₂ = 0

Sn + 2Cl = 0

Cl = – 1

Sn + 2(–1) = 0

Sn – 2 = 0

Collect like terms

Sn = 0 + 2

Sn = +2

Therefore, the oxidation number of Tin (Sn) changes from 0 to +2

For H:

H = +1

H₂ = 0

The oxidation number of H changes from +1 to 0

For Cl:

Cl is always –1. Therefore no change.

Summary:

Element >>Change in oxidation number

Sn >>>>>>>From 0 to +2

H >>>>>>>>From +1 to 0

Cl >>>>>>>No change

Therefore,

Sn is reduced since its oxidation number increased from 0 to +2.

H is oxidized since it oxidation number reduced from +1 to 0

What substance is reduced in the reaction 2Fe 2+ + CI2 = 2Fe 3+ + 2CI- ?
atroni [7]

Answer:

$Cl_{2}$ is reduced in the reaction

Explanation:

The given reaction is

$2Fe^{2+}+Cl_{2} \to 2Fe^{3+}+2Cl^{-}$

The oxidation number of $Fe$ is changed from $+2\, \to \, +3$

$Fe^{2+} \to Fe^{3+}+e^{-}$

And The oxidation number of $Cl$ is changed from $0\, \to \, -1$

$Cl_{2}^{0} + 2e^{-} \to 2Cl^{-}$

Hence, $Fe^{2+}$ is oxidized and $Cl_{2}$ is reduced

What are quantum numbers?

  • Quantum numbers are used to describe where around a nucleus a particular electron can be found.
  • In any given atom, each electron can be described by four quantum numbers.
  • These are n,l,m1,ms
  • The values that each number can be are based on a set of rules.

What is a magnetic quantum number ?

  • It describes the orientation of the orbitals.
  • It is represented as ml.
  • The value of this quantum number ranges from (-l to +l).
  • When l = 2, the value of  will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.
