Option (a) is correct.

A reducing agent is the one which loses electrons to other substance.

Here, Zn has oxidation number 0 in the L.H.S of the equation, but on R.H.S its oxidation number is +2 i.e. it Zn has donated two of its electrons to Fe^{2+}.

Hence, Zn is the reducing agent here.

How do scientists perform an artificial transmutation
Ilya [14]
Scientists can bombard atomic nuclei with high-energy particles such as protons, neutrons, or alpha particles. Scientists synthesize a transuranium element by the artificial transmutation of a lighter element. ... It involves nuclear change, not chemical change. NOTE nuclear decay is a transmutation that happens naturally.

Explain how water behaves in this reaction. Which definition of acids and bases would you apply?
mafiozo [28]

Water behaves as a base in this reaction.

The Bronsted-Lowry definition is applied, because the reaction involves the transfer of H+ from one reactant to the other.

A Bronsted-Lowry base is defined as a substance that accepts a proton.

Because water gains a proton to form H3O+ in this particular reaction, it acts as a base

Calculate AH°rxn from AH°7 values (use table in textbook appendix) a) Cl2 (g) + 2 Na (s) -› 2 NaCl (s) EITHER -411.1kJ/mol b) 2
MrMuchimi

To find AH°rxn, we use the following equation:

What we're going to do is to sum the enthalpy of the products and then substract with the enthalpy of the reactives:

As you can see, we need to multiply by the coefficients of the reaction.

Now, just replace the values of the table:

So the answer is -822.2kJ/mol.

For b:

Now, just replace the values of the table:

The answer for b is -1036kJ/mol.
