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.

Which of the following chemical reactions is the only reaction shown that would be predicted to occur based on the activity seri

Novosadov [1.4K]

B. Mn + NiBr₂ → Ni + MnBr₂

Explanation:

The reaction that can be predicted of all is Mn + NiBr₂ → Ni + MnBr₂.

The activity series is used to predict the products of single displacement reactions.

The series ranks metals in order of their reactivity. Those higher up in the series are highly reactive metals. Those at the bottom are slightly to non-reactive metals.

For a single displacement reaction to occur, a metal higher up in the activity series displaces one that is lower in the series.

Reaction A will not occur, Ba is higher in the series

Reaction C will not occur, Pt and Au are unreactive

Reaction D will not occur as Zn is lower in the series

Mn is higher in the reactivity series and it will displace Ni from the solution.

If you have 400 grams of a substance that decays with a half-life of 14 days, then how much will you have after 56 days? To help

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

25 grams

Explanation:

You strat off with 400 grams of your substance. By day 14, half has dcayed and you only have 200 grams left. By day 28, there are 100 grams of the substance. On day 42, there are 50 grams left. Finally, on day 56, the substance has been through four half-lives and 25 grams remain.

Nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia according to the following equation: N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g) Consider the following rep

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The pressure increases.

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's principle, equal volume of gases contains the same number of moles. From the reaction equation, there is a decrease in the total number of moles from reactant to product indicating a decrease in volume (as per Avogadro) and an increase in pressure according to Boyle's Law-Volume is inversely proportional to pressure.

2NO + 3MnO2 + 4H â 2NO3- + 3Mn2 + 2H2O For the above redox reaction, assign oxidation numbers and use them to identify the eleme

mixer [17]

Answer:

Manganese decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and nitrogen increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given redox reaction, we rewrite it as a convenient first step:

$2NO + 3MnO_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2NO_3^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H_2O$

Next, we assign the oxidation numbers as follows:

$2N^{2+}O^{2-} + 3Mn^{4+}O^{-2}_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2(N^{5+}O^{2-}_3)^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H^+_2O^{2-}$

Thus, we can see that both manganese and nitrogen undergo a change in their oxidation number, the former decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and the latter increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Regards!
