To find for the oxidizing agent, first let us write the half reactions of this complete chemical reaction:

Ca = Ca2+ + 2e- <span>
2 H+ + 2e- = H2</span>

 

The oxidizing agent would be the substance of the element that is reduced. We know that an element is reduced when an electron is added to it. In this case, the element being reduced is H. Therefore the oxidizing agent is HNO3.

 

Answer:

<span>HNO3</span>

Answer:

Nitric acid is an oxidizing agent in the given reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidizing agents : Agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents : Agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

In the given reaction;

Ca(s)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+H_2(g)

Oxidizing agent in the above reaction is a nitric acid which oxidizes calcium metal into calcium ionCa^{2+}

Ca\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2e^-

Here calcium atom is undergoing oxidation reaction which is the reaction in which an atom looses its electrons and its oxidation state increases.

Given the following reaction:
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Option D. 17.5

Explanation:

Equiibrium is: CO + 2H₂  ⇄  CH₃OH

1 mol of CO is in equibrium with 2 moles of hydrogen in order to make, methanol.

Initially we have 0.42 moles of CO and 0.42 moles of H₂

If 0.29 moles of CO remained, (0.42 - 0.29) = 0.13 moles have reacted.

So in the equilibrium we may have:

0.29 moles of CO, and (0.42 - 0.13 . 2) = 0.16 moles of H₂

Ratio is 1:2, if 0.13 moles of CO haved reacted, (0.13 . 2) moles have reacted of hydrogen

Finally 0.13 moles of methanol, are found after the equilibrium reach the end.

Let's make expression for KC: [Methanol] / [CO] . [Hydrogen]²

0.13 / (0.29 . 0.16²)

Kc = 17.5
