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.

A 4.36-g sample of an unknown alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 mL of water. An acid-base indicator is added, and the
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Rb+

Explanation:

Since they are telling us that the equivalence point was reached after 17.0 mL of   2.5 M HCl were added , we can calculate the number of moles of HCl which neutralized our unknown hydroxide.

Now all the choices for the metal cation are monovalent, therefore the general formula for our unknown is XOH and  we know the reaction is 1 equivalent acid to 1 equivalent base. Thus we have the number of moles, n,  of XOH and from the relation n = M/MW we can calculate the molecular weight of XOH.

Thus our calculations are:

V = 17.0 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.017 L

2.5 M HCl x 0.017 L = 2.5 mol/ L x 0.017 L = 0.0425 mol

0.0425 mol = 4.36 g/ MW XOH

MW of XOH = (atomic weight of X + 16 + 1)

so solving the above equation we get:

0.0425 = 4.36 / (X + 17 )

0.7225 +0.0425X = 4.36

0.0425X = 4.36 -0.7225 = 3.6375

X = 3.6375/0.0425 = 85.59

The unknown alkali is Rb which has an atomic weight of 85.47 g/mol
