Answer:

2 Cl + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻

Explanation:

<em>Which equation describes a reduction?</em>

  • <em>Mg(s) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻.</em> NO. This is an oxidation because Mg loses electrons and its oxidation number increases from 0 to 2.
  • <em>2 Cl + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻.</em> YES. This is a reduction because Cl gains electrons and its oxidation number decreases from 0 to 1-.
  • <em>Na(s) → Na⁺(aq) + e⁻.</em> NO. This is an oxidation because Na loses electrons and its oxidation number increases from 0 to 1.
  • <em>Al(s) → Al³⁺(aq) + 3 e⁻.</em> NO. This is an oxidation because Al loses electrons and its oxidation number increases from 0 to 3.

How many chlorine atoms are on the products side of the reaction 2al 6hcl → 2alcl3 3h2? 2 3 6 9
GenaCL600 [577]

The number of chlorine atoms present on the product side of the reaction is 6

<h3>What is a chemical equation? </h3>

Chemical equations are representations of chemical reactions using symbols and formula of the reactants and products.

The balancing of chemical equations follows the law of conservation of matter which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but can be transferred from one form to another.

<h3>How to determine the number of atoms of Cl</h3>

2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

Products => AlCl₃ and H₂

Number of Cl atoms = 2 × 3

Number of Cl atoms = 6 atoms

Something that is made out of natural resources for human use is called
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Man-made resources

Explanation:

Humanized resources are items or substances that have value to human lives that do not occur in the natural world. Examples of man-made resources include plastic, paper, soda, sheet metal, rubber and brass. These contrast with natural resources, such as water, crops, sunlight, crude oil, wood and gold.

A hydrocarbon contains 85.7% carbon and the remainder
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

CH₂ ;  67.1 %

Explanation:

To determine the empirical formula we need to find what the mole ratio is in whole numbers of the atoms in the compound. To do that we will first need the atomic weights of C and H and then perform our calculation

Assume 100 grams of the compound.

# mol C = 85.7 g / 12.01 g/mol = 7.14 mol

# mol H = 14.3 g /  1.008 g/mol = 14.19 mol

The proportion is 14.9 mol H/ 7.14 mol C = 2 mol H/ 1 mol C

So the empirical formula is CH₂

For the second part we will need to first calculate the theoretical yield for the 12.03 g NaBH₄  reacted and then calculate the percent yield given the 0.295 g B₂H₆ produced.

We need to calculate the moles of  NaBH₄ ( M.W = 37.83 g/mol )

1.203 g  NaBH₄ / 37.83 g/mol =  0.0318 mol

Theoretical yield from balanced chemical equation:

0.0318 mol NaBH₄ x 1 mol B₂H₆ / mol NaBH₄ = 0.0159 mol B₂H₆

Theoretical mass yield B₂H₆ = 0.0159 mol x 27.66 g/ mol =  0.440 g

% yield = 0.295 g/ 0.440 g x 100 = 67.1 %

All of the following reactions can be described as displacement reactions except:____________.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

The reaction that is not a displacement reaction from all the options is C_6H_6_{(l)} + Cl_{2(g)} --> C_6H_5Cl_{(l)} + HCl_{(g)}

In a displacement reaction, a part of one of the reactants is replaced by another reactant. In single displacement reactions, one of the reactants completely displaces and replaces part of another reactant. In double displacement reaction, cations and anions in the reactants switch partners to form products.

<em>Options a, c, d, and e involves the displacement of a part of one of the reactants by another reactant while option b does not.</em>

Correct option = b.
