Answer:

Oxidation occurs when a reactant loses electrons during the reaction. Reduction occurs when a reactant gains electrons during the reaction. This often occurs when metals are reacted with acid.

Answer : Oxidation reaction occurs when a reactant losses electrons in the reaction.

Reduction reaction occurs when a reactant gains electrons in the reaction.

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. That means, the loss of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, oxidation reaction occurs when a reactant losses electrons in the reaction.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. That means, the gain of electrons takes place.

Or we can say that, reduction reaction occurs when a reactant gains electrons in the reaction.

What causes water molecules to be attracted to each other?
Fiesta28 [93]
This polarity makes water molecules attracted to each other. The oxygen-hydrogen bond in the alcohol molecule is also polar. But, the carbon hydrogen bonds in the rest of the alcohol molecule are nonpolar. In these bonds, the electrons are shared more or less evenly.

On the addition of HI
victus00 [196]

Answer:

CH_3-CH(I)-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

I-CH_2-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

Explanation:

Given the compound CH_2=CH-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

The steps of reaction:

HI \longrightarrow H^+ + I^-

CH_2=CH-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 + H^+ \longrightarrow CH_3-CH^+-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

<u>But this intermediate product has a resonance: </u>

CH_3-CH^+-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 \longleftrightarrow C^+H_2-CH2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

The reaction with I-

CH_3-CH^+-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 + I^- \longrightarrow CH_3-CH(I)-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

C^+H_2-CH2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3 + I^- \longrightarrow I-CH_2-CH_2-CH(CH_3)-CH_3

What is the product of the reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid when heated together
natulia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direct reaction of a carboxylic acid with an amine would be expected to be difficult because the basic amine would deprotonate the carboxylic acid to form a highly unreactive carboxylate. However when the ammonium carboxylate salt is heated to a temperature above 100 C water is driven off and an amide is formed.

Where is the epicenter of this hypothetical earthquake?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

In fact, the epicenter of a hypothetical earthquake is located at the point where the earthquake begins to break. The epicenter is just above the surface of 'our planet'. The epicenter is what we call immediately above the 'hypocenter' of the earthquake on the stage that said surface.

Which substance is the oxidizing agent in the following reaction? Fe2S3 + 12HNO3 → 2Fe(NO3)3 + 3S + 6NO2 + 6H2O Which substance
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

HNO3 is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

Step 1:

The oxidizing agent is responsible to oxidize another.  but  itself undergoes  a reduction  .

Fe2S3:

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

S has an oxidation number of -2

HNO3:

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

H has an oxidation number of +1

N has an oxidation number of +5

Fe(NO3)3

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

Since NO3 has an oxidation number of -1; N has an oxidation number of +5

S alone has an oxidation number of 0

NO2:

O has an oxidation number of -2 (we have 2 times O, this makes -4)

N has an oxidation number of +4

Fe doesn't change from oxidation number. It stays +3

N goes from +5 to +4 → this is a reduction

S goes from -2 to 0 → this is an oxidation

The reducing agent is the compound that contributes the oxidized species (S).

The oxidizing agent contributes the reducing species (N)

The answer is HNO3
