Answer:

The one that is oxidized or the reducing agent

Explanation:

Oxidation results in loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state.

Reduction results in gain of electrons or  decrease in oxidation state.

The element that undergoes oxidation is said to oxidised, similarly the element that undergoes reduction is said to be reduced.

In a redox reaction, both oxidation and reduction takes place.

If a substrate undergoes oxidation or is oxidised, it is also responsible for reduction of the other species, as the total number of electrons should always be conserved.

The substance that undergoes oxidation, releases some electrons, these electrons are taken by the other substrate and it undergoes reduction.

Hence the substance that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent, as it is responsible for reduction of other substrate, when oxidizing itself.

Similar thought works for a substance that undergoes reduction or is reduced, works as an oxidizing agent.

If 16.00 g of O₂ reacts with 80.00 g NO, how many the excess reactant are left over? (enter only the value, round to whole numbe
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

50

Explanation:

We will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and masses below them.  

Mᵣ:           30.01     32.00   46.01

               2NO   +   O₂ ⟶ 2NO₂

Mass/g:  80.00     16.00

2. Calculate the moles of each reactant  

\text{moles of NO} = \text{80.00 g NO} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NO}}{\text{30.01 g NO}} = \text{2.666 mol NO}\\\\\text{moles of O}_{2} = \text{16.00 g O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol O}_{2}}{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}} = \text{0.5000 mol O}_{2}

3. Calculate the moles of NO₂ we can obtain from each reactant

From NO:

The molar ratio is 2 mol NO₂:2 mol NO

\text{Moles of NO}_{2} = \text{2.333 mol NO} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol NO}_{2}}{\text{2 mol NO}} = \text{2.333 mol NO}_{2}

From O₂:

The molar ratio is 2 mol NO₂:1 mol O₂

\text{Moles of NO}_{2} =  \text{0.5000 mol O}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{2 mol NO}_{2}}{\text{1 mol Cl}_{2}} = \text{1.000 mol NO}_{2}

4. Identify the limiting and excess reactants

The limiting reactant is O₂ because it gives the smaller amount of NO₂.

The excess reactant is NO.

5. Mass of excess reactant

(a) Moles of NO reacted

The molar ratio is 2 mol NO:1 mol O₂

\text{Moles reacted} = \text{0.500 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol NO}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{1.000 mol NO}

(b) Mass of NO reacted

\text{Mass reacted} = \text{1.000 mol NO} \times \dfrac{\text{30.01 g NO}}{\text{1 mol NO}} = \text{30.01 g NO}

(c) Mass of NO remaining

Mass remaining = original mass – mass reacted = (80.00 - 30.01) g = 50 g NO

Which polyatomic ion is found in the compound represented by the formula NaHCO3?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer is (2) - hydrogen carbonate


<em>Explanation:</em>


NaHCO₃ is an ionic compound which is made from Na⁺ and HCO₃⁻ ions. The decomposition is

NaHCO₃ → Na⁺ + HCO₃⁻


Among the resulted ions, Na⁺ is a monatomic ion while HCO₃⁻ is a polyatomic ion.


<em>Polyatomic ions mean ions which are made of two or more different atoms.</em>


HCO₃⁻ is made from 3 atoms as H, C and O. The name of HCO₃⁻ ion is bicarbonate or hydrogen carbonate.

The molecular mass of sodium oxide (Na2O) is
yuradex [85]
<span>The molecular mass of sodium oxide (Na2O) is A. 61.97894. The molecular mass of a molecule (Mr) is the sum of atomic masses of its atoms (Ar). The molecular mass of sodium oxide is: Mr(Na2O) = 2 * Ar (Na) + Ar(O). From the periodic table, Ar(Na) = 22.989769 and Ar(O) = 15.9994. The molecular mass of sodium oxide is: Mr(Na2O) = 2 * 22.989769 + 15.9994 = 45.979538 + 15.9994 = 61.97894.</span>
