Eddi Din [679]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A) HBr oxidized; HCl reduced

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Cl₂ + 2HBr → 2HCl + Br₂

The given reaction is redox reaction because oxidation reduction take place.

Cl₂ is reduced from oxidation state 0 to -1 while HBr oxidized from -1 to 0.

Chlorine is oxidizing agent while HBr is reducing agent.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized

jonny [76]

Answer:

a. equal to

Explanation:

The <em>osmotic pressure</em> is calculated by the formula:

π = <em>i</em> * M * R * T

Where π is the osmotic pressure, M is the concentration, R is a constant, T is temperature and <em>i</em> is the van't Hoff's factor (the number of ions a compound forms when dissolved in water,<u> for both NaCl and KBr is 2</u>).

Because R is always the same, and <u>Temperature and Concentration are equal between the two solutions</u>, the osmotic pressure of both solutions are also equal.
