In the following reaction, which species is reduced? 2k+br2 yield 2k+ + 2br-

1 answer:

6 0

The species that is reduced in

2K + Br2 = 2K^+ + 2Br^-

is Br2 is reduced

This is because Br2 move from oxidation state zero to oxidation state of negative one. K is been oxidized since it move from oxidation state zero to oxidation state of positive one. K act as a reducing agent while Br2 act as a oxidizing agent

How many moles of water would form the reaction of exactly 58.3 grams of magnesium hydroxide

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{2.00 mol}}$

Explanation:

We know we will need a balanced chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

You don't tell us what the reaction is, but we can solve the problem so long as we balance the OH.

M_r: 58.32

Mg(OH)₂ + … ⟶ … + 2HOH

m/g: 58.3

(a) Moles of Mg(OH)₂

$\text{Moles of Mg(OH)$_{2}$} =\text{58.3 g Mg(OH)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}{\text{58.32 g Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}\\\\=\text{0.9997 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}$

(b) Moles of H₂O

The molar ratio is 2 mol H₂O = 1 mol Mg(OH)₂.

$\text{Moles of H$_{2}$O}= \text{0.9995 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol {H$_{2}$O}}}{ \text{1 mol Mg(OH)$_{2}$}}\\\\= \textbf{2.00 mol H$_{2}$O}$
