Answer:
C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.
Explanation:
Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.
Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.
For example
Cl + e- → Cl⁻
The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.
Answer:
806.3g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Number of moles of silver nitrate = 4.85mol
Unknown:
Mass of silver chromate = ?
Solution:
2AgNO₃ + Na₂CrO₄ → Ag₂CrO₄ + 2NaNO₃
To solve this problem, we work from the known to the unknown;
- The known specie here is AgNO₃ ;
From the balanced chemical equation;
2 moles of AgNO₃ will produce 1 mole of Ag₂CrO₄
4.85 moles of AgNO₃ will produce
= 2.43moles of Ag₂CrO₄
- Mass of silver chromate produced;
mass = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of Ag₂CrO₄
Atomic mass of Ag = 107.9g/mol
Cr = 52g/mol
O = 16g/mol
Input the parameters and solve;
Molar mass = 2(107.9) + 52 + 4(16) = 331.8g/mol
So,
Mass of Ag₂CrO₄ = 2.43 x 331.8 = 806.3g
