Answer:

The oxidizing agent is the MnO₄⁻

Explanation:

This is the redox reaction:

10 I⁻ (aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻ (aq) + 16 H⁺ (aq) → 5 I₂ (s) + 2 Mn²⁺ (aq) + 8 H2O (l)

Let's determine the oxidation and the reduction.

I⁻ acts with -1 in oxidation state and changes to 0, at I₂.

All elements in ground state has 0 as oxidation state.

As the oxidation state has increased, this is the oxidation, so the iodide is the reducing agent.

In the permanganate (MnO₄⁻), Mn acts with +7 in oxidation state and decreased to Mn²⁺. As the oxidation state is lower, we talk about the reduction. Therefore, the permanganate is the oxidizing agent because it oxidizes iodide to iodine

The atom with the same number of neutrons as 12C is 9Be. 11B. 13C. 14N.
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer : The atom with the same number of neutrons as ^{12}C is, ^{11}B

Explanation :

  • The given atom is, ^{12}C

Atomic mass number = 12

Atomic number = 6

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 12 - 6 = 6

Now we have to determine the number of neutrons in the given options.

  • In atom, ^{9}Be

Atomic mass number = 9

Atomic number = 4

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 4

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 9 - 4 = 5

  • In atom, ^{11}B

Atomic mass number = 11

Atomic number = 5

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 5

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 11 - 5 = 6

  • In atom, ^{13}C

Atomic mass number = 13

Atomic number = 6

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 6

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 13 - 6 = 7

  • In atom, ^{14}N

Atomic mass number = 14

Atomic number = 7

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 7

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass number - Atomic number = 14 - 7 = 7

Therefore, the atom with the same number of neutrons as ^{12}C is, ^{11}B

When solid magnesium burns, it reacts with oxygen in the air to form a powder called magnesium oxide. A chemist performed this r
siniylev [52]

Answer:

A. The increase in the mass of the magnesium oxide was due to oxygen atoms in the air.

Explanation:

Burning occurs in the presence of oxygen. A chemical combination occurs between Mg and O in that the atom of magnesium attracts one another.

          Mg + O₂ → MgO

Starting with the magnesium, on reacting with oxygen a new compound forms. This is why there is mass increase in the MgO compared to the starting material.
