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.

Calculate the volume of a 0.5M solution containing 20g of NaOH
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

1L

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the number of mole present in 20g of NaOH. This is illustrated below:

Mass = 20g

Molar Mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol

Number of mole =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of NaOH = 20/40 = 0.5mol

From the question given, we obtained the following data:

Molarity = 0.5M

Mole = 0.5mole

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.5/0.5

Volume = 1L

A large piece of iron was reacted with an acid. What would happen to the rate of the reaction had the large piece been finely di
Anna007 [38]
The reaction occurs in a similar way as magnesium does, but much less vigorous. Strong heating is required to make iron powder burn in oxygen. The reaction gives out a yellow showery sparks and produces a black solid. iron reacts with dilute hydrocloric acid to give iron chloride and hydrogen gas.
