In the reaction 2Mg (s) + O2 (g) + 2H2O (l) → 2Mg2+ (aq) + 4OH– (aq), which substance is reduced?

Chemistry

Bogdan [553]3 years ago

F. <em>None of the above </em>

<em>No O atoms are present</em> as reacting substances, only O_2 and H_2O molecules.

O_2 + 2H_2O + 2e^(-) → 4OH^(-)

We must use <em>oxidation numbers</em> to decide whether oxygen or water is the substance reduced.

The oxidation number of O changes from 0 in O_2 to -2 in OH^(-).

A decrease in oxidation number is <em>reduction</em>, so O_2 is the substance  reduced.

The oxidation number of O is -2 in both H_2O and OH^(-), so water is <em>neither oxidized nor reduced</em>.

Which of the following best describes an empirical formula?
Monica [59]

Answer:

Option C :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

Explanation:

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

For Example

      C₂H₆O₂ Consist of  Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)

Now

Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound

                         C : H : O

                         2 : 6 : 2

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

                          C : H : O

                         2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2

                             1 : 3 : 1

So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1

So the empirical formula will be

                     Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O

So, Option C is correct :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

Based on location in the periodic table, which element has chemical properties that are most similar to iodine
Ymorist [56]

Based on location in the periodic table, fluorine (F) has chemical properties that are most similar to iodine.

In the periodic table, elements are classified in groups and periods. The elements in the same group are chemically similar and they have the same number of valence electrons. Elements in the same period have the same highest energy level.

Hence, when looking for an element that is most chemically similar to iodine, we have to consider the element that is in the same group with iodine.

Both fluorine are iodine are both in group 17 hence, fluorine is most chemically similar to iodine.

EXTRA CREDIT. The rate at which an object moves is its speed. If a horse
Irina18 [472]
Average speed is total distance divided by total time.

Total distance is 50 m + 150 m + 300 m = 500 m
Total time is 68 s + 35 s + 22 s = 125 s

Average speed is 500 m / 125 s = 4 m/s
