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

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>.

How many kilograms of water must be added to 6.07 grams of oxalic acid (H2C2O4) to make a 0.025 m solution?
uranmaximum [27]
This dilution problem uses the equation
M
a
V
a
=
M
b
V
b

M
a
= 6.77M - the initial molarity (concentration)
V
a
= 15.00 mL - the initial volume
M
b
= 1.50 M - the desired molarity (concentration)
V
b
= (15.00 + x mL) - the volume of the desired solution
(6.77 M) (15.00 mL) = (1.50 M)(15.00 mL + x )
101.55 M mL= 22.5 M mL + 1.50x M
101.55 M mL - 22.5 M mL = 1.50x M
79.05 M mL = 1.50 M
79.05 M mL / 1.50 M = x
52.7 mL = x
59.7 mL needs to be added to the original 15.00 mL solution in order to dilute it from 6.77 M to 1.50 M.
I hope this was helpful.

If z = 4.0 and y = 9.6, what is the value of x?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The value of x will be "1.4".

Explanation:

The given values are:

y = 9.6

z = 4.0

As we know,

The relation between x, y and z is:

⇒ z = \frac{y}{x}

and,

⇒ x=\frac{y}{z}

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒    =\frac{5.6}{4.0}

⇒    =1.4
