Let's say say there are n1 mols of helium in the first balloon and n2 mols of nitrogen in the second one, which are equivalent to m1 grams of helium and m2 grams of nitrogen.

The molar mass of hydrogen is thus M1=m1/n1, same for nitrogen M2=m2/n2 hence the ratio of their masses is m1/m2=(M1n1)/(M2n2). Since both gases are rather similar, we can assume that n1~n2 hence m1/m2=M1/M2

Ca(s)+2hno3(aq)→ca(no3)2(aq)+h2(g) identify the oxidizing agent.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

To find for the oxidizing agent, first let us write the half reactions of this complete chemical reaction:

Ca = Ca2+ + 2e- <span>
2 H+ + 2e- = H2</span>

 

The oxidizing agent would be the substance of the element that is reduced. We know that an element is reduced when an electron is added to it. In this case, the element being reduced is H. Therefore the oxidizing agent is HNO3.

 

Answer:

<span>HNO3</span>
