Oxidation-reduction reactions (often called "redox" for short) are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one spe

cies to another. Oxidation states, or oxidation numbers, allow chemists to keep track of these electron transfers. In general, one element will lose electrons (oxidation), with the result that it will increase in oxidation number, and another element will gain electrons (reduction), thereby decreasing in oxidation number. The species that is oxidized is called the reducing agent or reductant. The species that is reduced is called the oxidizing agent or oxidant. To sum up: Oxidation = increase in oxidation state = loss of electrons = reducing agent Reduction = decrease in oxidation state = gain of electrons = oxidizing agent Part A Which element is oxidized in this reaction? Fe2O3+3CO→2Fe+3CO2 Enter the elemental symbol. View Available Hint(s) is oxidized Part B Which element is reduced in this reaction? 2HCl+2KMnO4+3H2C2O4→6CO2+2MnO2+2KCl+4H2O Enter the elemental symbol. View Available Hint(s) is reduced

A. Fe2O3 + 3CO= 2Fe+3CO2
Here element oxidised is CO or Carbon Monoxide, since oxygen is added.

B. 2HCl+2KMnO4+3H2C2O4=6CO2+2MnO2+2KCl+4H2O
Here Element reduced is 3H2C2O4, since Hydrogen is being added. Also KMnO4 is reduced, since Oxygen is removed.

The compound ncl3 is nitrogen trichloride, but alcl3 is simply aluminum chloride. why
AveGali [126]
The answer to this question would be:
NCl3 is a molecular compound (two or more nonmetals), and therefore in its name prefixes indicate the number of each type of atom. so NCl3 is nitrogen trichloride<span>.
</span><span>The compound AlCl3 is an ionic compound (metal and nonmetal), and therefore does not require prefixes. so AlCl3 is aluminum chloride.
</span><span>
Both of nitrogen and chlorine is nonmetal, but aluminum is metal. Metal with nonmetal will make an ionic compound that doesn't need prefixes.</span>
