The redox reaction is as follows
3Ca + 2Cr³⁺ --> 3Ca²⁺ + 2Cr
in the oxidation reaction the species donates electrons and becomes oxidised.
the oxidised species donates electrons to the other species and reduces the other species hence its called the reducing agent as it reduces the other species. the oxidised species' oxidation number increases.
in the reduction reaction, the species takes in electrons and becomes electrons and its called the oxidising agent as it takes in electrons from the oxidised species thus oxidising the other species. the reduced species' oxidation number decreases.

in this case , Ca becomes oxidised
Ca --> Ca²⁺ + 2e
oxidation number of Ca increases from 0 to +2. since it reduces Cr from Cr³⁺ to Cr, Ca is called the reducing agent

hence answer is Ca, its the reducing agent

A 1.59 mol sample of Kr has a volume of 641 mL. How many moles of Kr are in a 4.41 L sample at the same temperature and pressure
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is 10.939 mol ≅ 10.94 mol

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's gases law, the number of moles of an ideal gas (n) at constant pressure and temperature, is directly proportional to the volume (V).

For the initial gas (1), we have:

n₁= 1.59 mol

V₁= 641 mL= 0.641 L

For the final gas (2), we have:

V₂: 4.41 L

The relation between 1 and 2 is given by:

n₁/V₁ = n₂/V₂

We calculate n₂ as follows:

n₂= (n₁/V₁) x V₂ = (1.59 mol/0.641 L) x 4.41 L = 10.939 mol ≅ 10.94 mol

2.0 mol of gas occupy 44.8 l at a temperature of 0°c. what is the pressure of the gas
MArishka [77]

The pressure of the gas is 1.0 bar.

<em>pV</em> = <em>nRT</em>

<em>T</em> = (0 + 273.15) K = 273.15 K

<em>p</em> = (<em>nRT</em>)/<em>V</em> = (2.0 mol × 0.083 14 bar·L·K⁻¹mol⁻¹ × 273.15 K)/44.8 L = 1.0 bar
