In the following redox reaction which is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agent? AlCl3 + Na NaCl + Al

Chemistry

horrorfan [7]3 years ago

Answer :  Al

Explanation :

- For a given redox reaction there must be an oxidizing agent/(s) and a reducing agent/(s).

- the oxidizing agent is the substance that undergoes reduction process (gaining electrons or loss of oxygen atoms), meanwhile, the reducing agent is the substance that undergoes oxidation process (loss of electrons or gaining of oxygen atoms).

- In the reaction above, the oxidation number of (Al) in AlCl3 is (3+). However, the oxidation number of (Al) in the products is zero because it exists as a single element.

Therefore, changing from (3+) to zero means gaining of (3) electrons to neutralize the previously existing (3) protons on (Al) in AlCl3.

So Al is the oxidizing agent..

How many ATOMS of boron are present in 3.61 grams of boron trifluoride ?
Delvig [45]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{3.203 *  10^{22} atoms}

We can use the following conversions to solve:

Total mass --> amount of mols --> amount of atoms (Avogadro's number)

Begin by calculating the amount of boron trifluoride in 3.61 grams:

3.61 g * (1 mol BF₃ / 67.8 g) ≈ 0.0532 mol BF₃

Use avogadro's number to convert:

0.0532 mol * 6.02× 10²³atoms / 1 mol = 3.203 × 10²² atoms

Cytokinesis happens differently for plant and animal cells. Both separate cytoplasm between two new daughter cells. However, whi
victus00 [196]

Answer:

animal cell

Explanation:

Cytokinesis -

It refers to the process of cell division, which takes place during mitosis, is known as cytokinesis.

The process of cytokinesis is different for animal cell and plant cell.

  • Where, in case of plant cell, a separation, known as cell plate is formed along the center of the parent cell, which is responsible for the separation of the cells.
  • Whereas, in case of animal cell, the plasma membrane contracts itself along the center, until the two daughter cells are separated from each other.

Hence, from the given information of the question,

The correct answer is animal cell.

Stoichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.

31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65
⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻  = 107.9 g Ag
       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5


There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.
