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.

Which of the following is not true about limiting and excess reagents?

Bogdan [553]

Answer : The incorrect option is, (d) The reactant that was the smallest given mass is the limiting reagent.

Explanation :

Limiting reagent : It is the reagent that is completely consumed in the chemical reaction when the chemical reaction is complete. No amount is left after the reaction is complete. The amount of product obtained is determined by the limiting reagent. A balanced equation is necessary to determine which reactant is limiting reagent.

Excess reagent : It is the reagent that are not completely consumed in the chemical reaction. That means the reagent is in excess amount. Some amount of the excess reagent is left over after the reaction is complete.

From this we conclude that the options, A, B and C are correct. While the option D is incorrect.

Option D is incorrect because it is not necessary the reactant that was the smallest given mass is the limiting reagent but it is judge by the number of moles present in the reaction.

Hence, the incorrect option is, (d)

Groundwater in Pherric, New Mexico, initially contains 1.800 mg/L of iron as Fe3+. What must the pH be raised to in order to pre

xenn [34]

Answer : The pH will be, 3.2

Explanation :

As we known that the value of solubility constant of ferric hydroxide at $25^oC$ is, $2.79\times 10^{-39}$

Amount or solubility of iron consumed = (1.800 - 0.3) mg/L = 1.5 mg/L

The given solubility of iron convert from mg/L to mol/L.

$1.5mg/L=\frac{1.5\times 10^{-3}g/L}{56g/mol}=2.7\times 10^{-7}mol/L$

The chemical reaction will be:

$Fe(OH)_3\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3OH^-$

The expression of solubility constant will be:

$K_{sp}=[Fe^{3+}]\times [3OH^-]^3$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get the concentration of hydroxide ion.

$2.79\times 10^{-39}=(2.7\times 10^{-7})\times [3OH^-]^3$

$[OH^-]=1.5\times 10^{-11}M$

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$pOH=-\log (1.5\times 10^{-11})$

$pOH=10.8$

Now we have to calculate the pH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=14-10.8\\\\pH=3.2$

Therefore, the pH will be, 3.2

What is one way to test whether an unknown solution is acidic or basic

Dima020 [189]

A solution's pH will be a number between 0 and 14. A solution with a pH of 7 is classified as neutral. If the pH is lower than 7, the solution is acidic. When pH is higher than 7, the solution is basic. These numbers describe the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and increase on a negative logarithmic scale. For example, If Solution A has a pH of 3 and Solution B has a pH of 1, then Solution B has 100 times as many hydrogen ions than A and is therefore 100 times more acidic.

What is the mass of a 1.68-l sample of a liquid that has a density of 0.921g/ml?

Gwar [14]

Hey there!

Volume in mL :

1.68 L * 1000 => 1680 mL

Density = 0.921 g/mL

Therefore:

Mass = density * Volume

Mass = 0.921 * 1680

Mass = 1547.28 g
