Reduction <span>always results in a lowering of the oxidation number. The reaction of the system above is written as:

</span><span>Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) --> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq) 
</span>
From the reaction, we see that copper goes from the +2 to a neutral charge. Lowering of the oxidation number happens so this is the element that is being reduced.

The chemical equation for a reaction between K2Cr2O7 and HCl is shown. K2Cr2O7 + 14HCl → 2CrCl3 + 2KCl + 3Cl2 + 7H2O
guapka [62]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Option b.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidizing agent is defined as the chemical reagent which helps the other chemical compound to get oxidized and itself gets reduced. The oxidation state for these species gets reduced because they are undergoing reduction reaction.

For the given chemical equation:

K_2Cr_2O_7+14HCl\rightarrow 2CrCl_3+2KCl+3Cl_2+7H_2O

Oxidation state of Chromium is getting reduced from +6 to +3 and oxidation state of chlorine getting increased from -1 to 0.

Hence, K_2Cr_2O_7 acts like and oxidizing agent because it is itself getting reduced to CrCl_3

Therefore, the correct answer is Option b.

A pharmacist wishes to strengthen a mixture from 10%alcohol to 30% alcohol. How much pure alcohol should be added to 7 liters of
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

Explanation:

Suppose x is the number of litres added to the 10% mixture than the quantity of new mixture is given as below

  • n_{old}=7 litres
  • n_{new}=7+x litres

Also the quantity of alcohol is given as

  • q_{old}=10 \% \, of \, 7 \, litres =0.7
  • q_{added}=x
  • q_{new}= 30 \% \,of \,new\, quantity = 0.3(7+x)

Now the equation is as

                                  q_{old}+q_{added}=q_{new}\\0.7+x=0.3(7+x)\\0.7+x=2.1+0.3x\\x-0.3x=2.1-0.7\\0.7x=1.4\\x=2 \, litres

So 2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

This graduated cylinder has numbers representing milliliters. A student says that the volume of the liquid inside is 21.8 millil
GaryK [48]

Explanation:

The answer for this question depends on the type of meniscus in the cylinder. If it is an upright meniscus like in water, the reading should be taken at the bottom of the meniscus. However if it is an inverted meniscus like in mercury, the reading should be taken at the top of the meniscus.

(Can you check and see if there's any pictures or information that is missing?)

Which equation or rule can be used to estimate the pseudo-critical properties of mixtures based on the pure-component critical c
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

c. Kay's rule

Explanation:

Kay's rule -

The rule is used to determine the pseudo reduced critical parameters of mixture , with the help of using the critical properties of the components of a given mixture .

The equation for Kay's rule is as follows ,

PV = Z RT

Where Z = The compressibility factor of the mixture .

Hence from the given options , the correct answer is Kay's rule .
