Carbon disulfide ( S=C=S) is made up of one carbon atom and two sulfur atom.
Carbon has 4 valence electrons while sulfur has 6 electrons.
During bonding all the four carbon valence electrons are used in bonding while each sulfur atom contributes two electrons two the bond formation.
Therefore; 4 + 2(2) = 8 electrons are used for bonding, while 8 electrons ( four from each sulfur atom) are not used for bond formation.
A) 2H₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O(l) + 285.83 kJ
Exothermic
B) 2Mg + O₂ → 2MgO + 1200kJ
Exothermic
Answer:
(i) Oxidizing Agent: NO2 / Reducing Agent NH3-
(ii) Oxidizing Agent AgNO3 / Reducing Agent Zn
Explanation:
(i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l)
In this reaction, both two reactants contain nitrogen with a different oxidation number and produce only one product which contains nitrogen with a unique oxidation state. So, nitrogen is oxidized and reduced in the same reaction.
Nitrogen Undergoes a change in oxidation state from 4+ in NO2 to 0 in N2. It is reduced because it gains electrons (decrease its oxidation state). NO2 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor).
Nitrogen Changes from an oxidation state of 3- in NH3 to 0 in N2. It is oxidized because it loses electrons (increase its oxidation state). NH3 is the reducing agent (electron donor)
(ii) Zn(s) +AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)
Ag changes oxidation state from 1+ to 0 in Ag(s).
Ag is reduced because it gains electrons and for this reason and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor)
Zn Changes from an oxidation state of 0 in Zn(s) to 2+ in Zn(NO3)2. It is oxidized and for this reason Zn is the reducing agent (electron donor).
Balanced equation:
Zn(s) +2AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
Answer:
Explanation: Bromine, the dark red color disappears quickly as the atoms of bromine bond with the atoms of carbon in the double bond.
there are 6 moles of oxygen in Zn(No3)2
