Explanation:

A synthesis reaction: It is defined as a kind of reaction where one and more than one reactant attached and creates an individual product.

The formation of the water is an example of a synthesis reaction because here more than one reactants combine and create a single product (water). Water formation occurs when 2 hydrogens and an oxygen share electrons through covalent bonds.

2H + O ----> H2O.

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

At which electrade in a voltaic cell does redaction always occar?

yanalaym [24]

Answer:cathode

Explanation:It is also known as the galvanic cell or electrochemical cell. In the voltaic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

How many kj of heat are needed to completely melt 32.3 g of h2o, given that the water is at its melting point? the heat of fusio

timurjin [86]

Answer: fourth option, 10.8 kJ

Explanation:

The heat of fusion, also named latent heat of fusion, is the amount of heat energy required to change the state of a substance from solid to liquid (at constant pressure).

The data of the heat of fusions of the substances are reported in tables and they can be shown either per mole or per gram of substance.

In this case we have that the heat of fusion for water is reported per mole: 6.02 kJ/mole.

The formula to calculate how many kJ of heat (total heat) are needed to completely melt 32.3 g of water, given that the water is at its melting point is:

Heat = number of moles × heat of fusion

The calculations are:

number of moles = mass / molar mass

number of moles = 32.3 g / 18.015 g/mol = 1.79 mol

Heat = 1.79 mol × 6.02 kJ / mol = 10.8 kJ ← answer

A sample of a compound made entirely from copper and oxygen was found to have a total mass of 0.143 g the mass of copper in the

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Mass of Oxygen: 0.0159 grams

Moles of Oxygen: 9.94x10^-4

To find the mass of oxygen, subtract the mass of copper from the total mass.

$0.143-0.1271=0.0159$

There are 0.0159 grams of Oxygen.

To find how many moles there are, divide the given amount of oxygen by the molar mass (atomic mass) of oxygen because that mass is the same as one mole of oxygen.

Molar mass of Oxygen: 16.00

$0.0159/16.00=9.94*10^{-4}$

There are 9.94*10^-4 moles of Oxygen.
