(Find the Oxidant and reductant)
Chemistry
1 answer:

Answer: I2 is the Oxidant; while the 2S2O3(-2) is the reductant.

Explanation:

An Oxidant is any substance that oxidizes, or receives electrons from, another; in so doing, it becomes reduced in oxidation number.

A Reductant thus exactly the opposite.

Note that the equation provided shows that Iodine (I2) received an electron to become NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

I2 --> 2I-.

The oxidation number reduced from 0 to -1.

In contrast, the oxidation number of 2S2O3(-2) increases from -4 to -2.

Thus, I2 is the Oxidant; while the 2S2O3(-2) is the reductant.

A reaction in which two ions switch places is which type of reaction?
AURORKA [14]

A reaction in which two ions switch places is called double-displacement reaction.

Explanation:

Double displacement reaction usually takes place between two positive ions or two negative ions. When anions or cations of totally different compounds change places, two totally different compounds are formed.  

<u>Syntax for double displacement reaction: </u>

AB + CD --> AD + BC

It can also be defined in simple terms as the reaction in which exchange of ions takes place is called double displacement reaction.

The chemical reaction is as follows:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)  --> NaCl(aq)  + H2O (l)

Why is water vapor important in weather  
Levart [38]
Water vapor is important to the weather because it creates clouds. Without clouds there would be no rain, and without rain there wouldn't be as much water now as there was 100 years ago because it wouldn't recycle. Water Vapor is very important to the weather and life as we know it.
