Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Al(s)+3FeSO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq.)+3Fe(s)$

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

As, aluminium is loosing 3 electrons to form aluminium cation. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Iron is gaining 2 electrons to form iron anion. Thus, it is getting reduced.

Hence, the oxidized species of the given reaction is aluminium.

The molar solubility of ag2s is 1.26 × 10-16 m in pure water. calculate the ksp for ag2s.

MAXImum [283]

Answer is: Ksp for silver sulfide is 8.00·10⁻⁴⁸.
Reaction of dissociation: Ag₂S(s) → 2Ag⁺(aq) + S²⁻(aq).
s(Ag₂S) = s(S²⁻) = 1.26·10⁻¹⁶ M.
s(Ag⁺) = 2s(Ag₂S) = 2.52·10⁻¹⁶ M; equilibrium concentration of silver cations.
Ksp = s(Ag⁺)² · s(S²⁻).
Ksp = (2.52·10⁻¹⁶ M)² · 1.26·10⁻¹⁶ M.
Ksp = 6.35·10⁻³² M² · 1.26·10⁻¹⁶ M.
Ksp = 8.00·10⁻⁴⁸ M³.
