Oxidation is a process when an atom, a group of atoms, or an ion loses electrons.

For example,

Cu⁰ -------> Cu⁺² + 2e⁻. This is an oxidation process.

As we can see an oxidation number was 0, and it became +2. The oxidation number is increased. Oxidation number of the atom, when an atom has undergone oxidation, increases.

So, answer is b.False.

Write Qc for each of the following:(1) Gaseous sulfur tetrafluoride reacts with liquid water to produce gaseous sulfur dioxide a

snow_tiger [21]

Answer : The expression for reaction quotient will be :

(1) $Q_c=\frac{[SO_2][HF]^4}{[SF_4]}$

(2) $Q_c=\frac{[O_2]^2[Xe]}{[XeF_2]}$

Explanation :

Reaction quotient $(Q_c)$ : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

(1) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$SF_4(g)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow SO_2(g)+4HF(g)$

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted. So, the expression for reaction quotient will be :

$Q_c=\frac{[SO_2][HF]^4}{[SF_4]}$

(2) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2MoO_2(s)+XeF_2(g)\rightarrow 2MoF(l)+Xe(g)+2O_2(g)[/texIn this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted. So, the expression for reaction quotient will be :[tex]Q_c=\frac{[O_2]^2[Xe]}{[XeF_2]}$
