Identify the species oxidized. 2 al3+(aq) + 2 fe(s) → 2 al(s) + 3 fe2+(aq)

1 answer:

8 0

To know the answer, compare the oxidation number of the element in the reactant and the product side. The oxidation number of Al was originally +3, then became 0 after the reaction. On the other hand, Fe was originally 0, then became +2 after the reaction. When the element is oxidized, it oxidation number increases. <em>Thus, the element oxidized is Fe.</em>

Changes in matter occur every day. There are two types of ways matter can be altered; physically and chemically. Physical changes do not change the composition of the matter while chemical changes occur when one or more substances turn into a completely new substance. Physical changes can be seen through an altering of the substances physical property. A substances physical property is observed and measured without changing the composition of the subject. Descriptive words that would help to identify a substance’s physical property include hard, soft, brittle, flexible, heavy, and light just to name a few. Let’s say you’re eating, throughout the day your stomach starts to growl that is what happens when your stomach is digesting your food. Digestion is an example of chemical change. Chemical change happens every day and more than half the time we don’t realize it whether it’s metal starting to rust, or our food starting to rot. Physical change can happen when your popsicle starts to melt, or your water starting starting to boil. These are examples of physical change.

Calculate either [ H 3 O + ] or [ OH − ] for each of the solutions.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: Solution A : $[H_3O^+]=0.300\times 10^{-7}M$

Solution B : $[OH^-]=0.107\times 10^{-5}M$

Solution C : $[OH^-]=0.177\times 10^{-10}M$

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration.

$pH=-\log[H_3O^+]$
