Ion formed for bromine = Br-

And it's reduced in that case as it gained an electron

Answer: The ion formed after the reduction of bromine is Br^-

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of Sodium (Na) = [Ne]3s^1

The electronic configuration of Bromine (Br) = [Ar]3d^{10}4s^24p^5

From the above configurations, Sodium ion will loose 1 electron in order to gain stable electronic configuration and that electron is accepted by the Bromine atom because it is 1 electron short of the stable electronic configuration.

Na\rightarrow Na^++e^-   (oxidation reaction)

Br+e^-\rightarrow Br^-   (Reduction reaction)

Bromine atom is reduced to form Br^-

Reduction reactions are the reactions in which the element gain electrons.

Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which the element looses its electrons.

2NaNO3(aq) + BaSO4 = Ba(NO3)2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) (s)

Procedures involved:

The cations or anions may transfer positions in this twofold replacement/displacement reaction, which results in AB + CD AD + CB. In such a reaction, water, an insoluble gas, or an insoluble solid must be one of the byproducts (precipitate). The reaction in question has the following molecular equation:

2NaNO3(aq) + BaSO4 = Ba(NO3)2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) (s)

Double displacement:

When two atoms or groups of atoms swap positions, a double displacement reaction occurs, creating new compounds. Typically, aqueous solutions are where it happens.

Na2SO4 + BaCl2 BaSO4 + 2NaCl is an example of a double displacement reaction.

If the volume of a confined gas is doubled while the temperature remain constant, what change (if any) would be observed in the
dimulka [17.4K]

The gas will obey Boyles Law:

P1 V1 = P2 V2      where P1 and V1 are the original pressure and volume and P2 and V2 are the new  values.

If V2 = 2V1  (given) then:

P1 V1 = P2 *2 V1

P2 = P1 V1 / 2V1

P2 = P1 / 2

In other words the pressure is halved. (answer).

A 2.500g sample of compound containing only Carbon and Hydrogen is found containing 2.002g of Carbon. Determine the empirical fo
Dima020 [189]

The empirical formula : CH₃

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

2.5 g sample

2.002 g Carbon

Required

The empirical formula

Solution

Mass of Hydrogen :

= 2.5 - 2.002

= 0.498

Mol ratio C : H :

C : 2.002/12 = 0.167

H : 0.498/1 = 0.498

Divide by 0.167 :

C : H = 1 : 3
