Answer

When oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously it is called a redox reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation is the process in which an electron loses an atom, whereas, in reduction an atom gains an atom. when both of these reactions occur simultaneously the process is known as redox.

When a substance is being oxidized, it loses an electron or a hydrogen atom and gains an oxygen atom. Whereas, in reduction it gains an hydrogen atom and loses an oxygen atom. These two cannot happen individually and will always happen simultaneously.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

A solution is made by dissolving 4.87 g of potassium nitrate in water to a final volume of 86.4 mL solution. The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is :

<u>2.67%</u>

Explanation:

Note : Look at the density of potassium nitrate in water if given in the question.

<u><em>You are calculating </em></u><u><em>weight /Volume</em></u><u><em> not weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute</em></u>

Here the <u>weight/weight % or percent by mass</u> of the solute is asked : So first convert the<u> VOLUME OF SOLUTION into MASS</u>

Density of potassium nitrate in water KNO3 = 2.11 g/mL

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

Density = 2.11 g/mL

Volume of solution = 86.4 mL

2.11=\frac{mass}{86.4}

mass = 2.11\times 86.4

mass=182.3grams

Mass of Solute = 4.87 g

Mass of Solution = 183.2 g

w/w% of the solute =

= \frac{mass\ of\ solute}{mass\ of\ solution}\times 100

=\frac{4.87}{183.2}\times 100

w/w%=2.67%
