In the reaction of calcium with chlorine, which atom is oxidized? ca + cl2 -> cacl2

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rufina [12.5K]4 years ago

Redox reactions consist of reduction and oxidation reactions
oxidation reactions are the giving out of electrons, the oxidation number of the species giving out the electrons increases during oxidation 
reduction reactions are taking in electrons and the oxidation number of the species taking in electrons reduces after reduction
in the reaction Ca + Cl₂ --> CaCl₂
oxidation numbers of Ca in Ca - 0 and CaCl₂ - +2
oxidation numbers of Cl in Cl₂ - 0 and CaCl₂ - -1
oxidation number of Ca has increased from 0 to +2 therefore Ca is oxidised

If we read the reaction as X + Y → Z + Q it is<br> A. endothermic<br> B. exothermic
Korvikt [17]
As you can see in the picture we have +ΔH so that means for this reaction we need to GET heat. so the answer is A. endothermic :))
i hope this is helpful

15.0 g of Fe and 25.0 g of sand are added to 250.0 g of water. a. Determine the percent mass of Fe, sand, and water in the mixtu
lana [24]

Answer:

A. percentage mass of iron = 5.17%

percentage mass of sand  = 8.62%

percentage mass of water = 86.205%

B. (Iron + sand + water) -------> ( iron + sand) ------> sand

C. The step of separation of iron and sand

Explanation:

A. Percentage mass of the mixtures:

Total mass of mixture = (15.0 + 25.0 + 250.0) g =290.0 g

percentage mass of iron = 15/290 * 100% = 5.17%

percentage mass of sand = 25/290 * 100% = 8.62%

percentage mass of water = 250/290 * 100% = 86.205%

B. Flow chart of separation procedure

(Iron + sand + water) -------> separation by filtration using filter paper and funnel to remove water --------> ( iron + sand) -----------> separation using magnet to remove iron ------> sand

C. The step of separation of iron and sand by magnetization of iron will have the highest amount of error because during the process, some iron particles may not readily be attracted to the magnet as they may have become interlaced in-between sand grains. Also, some sand particle may also be attracted to the magnet as they are are borne on iron particles.

What does the number 84 in the name krypton 84 represent
Shtirlitz [24]
Hi :)

The bottom number tells you how many protons you have in the nucleus of this element.

In Krypton-84, this means that you have 84 nucleons, where 36 of these are protons, and the remaining 48 are neutrons.


Hope this helps :)

When can all the coefficients in a balanced equation represent volume ratios? when reactants and products are solids at stp when
Alexxx [7]

Answer: when reactants and products are gases at STP.


Justification:


1) STP stands for standard temperature (0°) and pressure (1 atm).


2) According to the kinetic molecular theory of the gases, and as per Avogadro's principle, equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules.



3) Since the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent number of moles, when reactants and products are gases at the same temperature and pressure, the mole ratios are the same that the volume ratios, and then the coefficients of the chemical equation represent the volume ratios.
