Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.
2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent
Explanation:
In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.
oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.
MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because
On the reactants side
Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7
Oxidation number of Cl- is -1
On the products side
Oxidation number of Mn is +2
While oxidation number of Cl is zero
Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2
Explanation:
As it is known that in solids, molecules are held together because of strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are held together and have definite shape and volume.
Whereas in liquids, molecules are not held so strongly as they are in solids. Hence, they move from their initial position and they do not have definite shape but they have definite volume.
Liquids obtain the shape of container in which they are kept.
In gases, molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces. As a result, they move far apart from each other and occupy the space of a container or vessel in which they are placed.
The physical state (at room temperature) of the following are determined as follows:
(a) Helium in a toy balloon : Helium at room temperature exists as a gas. So, when helium is present in a toy balloon then it acquires the volume of toy balloon.
(b) Mercury in a thermometer : Mercury at room temperature exists as a liquid. When it is placed in a thermometer then volume of mercury does not get affected.
(c) Soup in a bowl : Since, soup is a liquid. Hence, its volume will not change according to the volume of container.
Answer : The radii of the two ions Cl⁻ ion and Na⁺ ion is, 181 and 102 pm respectively.
Explanation :
As we are given that the Na⁺ radius is 56.4% of the Cl⁻ radius.
Let us assume that the radius of Cl⁻ be, (x) pm
So, the radius of Na⁺ =
In the crystal structure of NaCl, 2 Cl⁻ ions present at the corner and 1 Na⁺ ion present at the edge of lattice.
Thus, the edge length is equal to the sum of 2 radius of Cl⁻ ion and 2 radius of Na⁺ ion.
Given:
Distance between Na⁺ nuclei = 566 pm
Thus, the relation will be:
The radius of Cl⁻ ion = (x) pm = 181 pm
The radius of Na⁺ ion = (0.564x) pm = (0.564 × 181) pm =102.084 pm ≈ 102 pm
Thus, the radii of the two ions Cl⁻ ion and Na⁺ ion is, 181 and 102 pm respectively.
<span>(a) what is the average volume (in cubic meters) required for each iron atom
For this case, the density of Iron would be </span>7.87g/cm³
<span>
V = 9.27 x 10^-26 kg / </span>7.87g/cm<span>³ ( 1 kg / 1000 g)
</span>V = 1.18 x 10-23 cm³<span>
(b) what is the distance (in meters) between the centers of adjacent atoms?
We assume the atoms as cube, so we use the volume of the cube to calculate the distance of the atoms.
V = </span>1.18 x 10-23 cm<span>³ = s</span>³
s = 2.28 x 10^-8 cm
