2O2 IS THE OXIDIZING AGENT BECAUSE IT GIVES ALL OTHER ELEMENT OXYGEN
WARRIOR [948]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Oxygen gas (O₂)

Explanation:

Oxidizing agent is one which its self gets reduced and oxidizes the other.

Oxidation is the process where the oxidation number of substance increases while in reduction the oxidation number decreases.

The oxidation number of hydrogen in both methane and water is "+1"

Oxidation number of carbon in methane is "-4"

While its oxidation number in carbondioxide is "+4"

Thus carbon is undergoing oxidation.

While the change in oxidation number of oxygen from O₂ to CO₂ is "0" to -2

Hence it is undergoing reduction and oxidizing carbon.

Extra Stoichiometry Practice
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: 50. 4g

Explanation:

First calculate number of moles of aluminium in 38.8g

Moles = 38.8g/ 26.982mol/g

= 1.44mol

By looking at the balance equation you can see that 4 moles of aluminium produce 2 moles of aluminium oxide.

4 = 2

1.4 = x

Find the value of x

x= (1.4×2)/4= 0.72 mol

0.72 moles of aluminium oxide are produced from 38.8g of aluminium

Now find the mass of aluminium produced.

Mass = moles × molar mass

= 0.72mol × 69.93 mol/g

= 50.4g
