2O2 IS THE OXIDIZING AGENT BECAUSE IT GIVES ALL OTHER ELEMENT OXYGEN
WARRIOR [948]2 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.

Water can be formed in the following reaction:
just olya [345]

Answer

12

Explanation

We have a balanced chemical equation from the question that depicts the formation of water.

                                                  2H2+O2-->2H2O,


We can clearly see from the equation that, the formation of 2 moles of water molecules requires the input of 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of Oxygen.

So indirectly, it tells that the moles of water molecules will be double of the moles of Oxygen molecules used in the reaction.

So if we say that 6 moles of oxygen is used and the reaction is going in such a way that hydrogen is not a limiting reactant, then 12 moles of water will be produced.


Hope it help!
