Early stages of carbon monoxide poisoning is often confused with seasickness or intoxication.

This is so because some symptons of carbon monoxide (CO gas) poisoning are: irritated eyes, headache, nause, weakness and dizziness. As you can see those symptons are common to seasickness and intoxitation.

Carbon monoxide (CO gas) is colorless and odorless, so it may be difficult to detect the exposure to it before having some symptons of CO poisoning, but it is serious and can result in death. The victim shall be conducted to an open place promptly to receive fresh air and carried to a hospital to receive treatment urgently.

Olin [163]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{cccll}\textbf{Element 1} & \textbf{ Element 2} &\textbf{Compound?} &\textbf{Formula} &\textbf{Type}\\\text{Ar}&\text{Xe} &\text{No} &\text{None}&\text{Neither}\\\text{F}& \text{Cs} &\text{Yes} &\text{CsF} &\text{Ionic}\\\text{N} &\text{Br} &\text{Yes} & \text{NBr}_{3}&\text{molecular} \\\end{array}$

Explanation:

You look at the type of atom and their electronegativity difference.

If ΔEN <1.6, covalent; if ΔEN >1.6, ionic

Ar/Xe: Noble gases; no reaction

F/Cs: Non-metal + metal; ΔEN = |3.98 – 0.79| = 3.19; Ionic

N/Br: Two nonmetals; ΔEN = |3.04 - 2.98| = 0.

Consider the reaction below. 2K+Br2------>2K+ +2Br-

sergeinik [125]

Answer: only Br2.

Justification.

In a chemical reaction the element that gains electrons experiments a reduction in its oxidation state, that is why it is said that it is reduced.

So, to know what element is being reduced you need to calculate the oxidation states of the elements involved.

Here I indicate the oxidation states of each element if the reaction putting them inside parenthesis:

Reactants side          Products side

K (0) K (1+)

Br (0)                          Br(1-)

So, K lost one electron, increasing its oxidation statefrom 0 to 1+, meaning that it is being oxidized.

And, each atom of Br gained one electron, reducing its oxidation state from 0 to 1-, meaning it is being reduced.

Therefore, the answer is that Br2 is the substance being reduced.
