K2Cr2O7 + 14HCl → 2CrCl3 + 2KCl + 3Cl2 + 7H2O

the correct option is :

K2Cr2O7, because the oxidation number of Cr changes from +6 to +3.

Oxidation number of Cr in K2Cr2O7 is:

K2Cr2O7 = 2K + 2 Cr + 7 O

= 2(+1) + 2Cr + 7(-2)

= 2 + 2Cr -14

[total charge on K2Cr2O7 = 0], Hence;

2 + 2Cr -14 = 0

2Cr -12 = 0

2Cr = 12

Cr = 12/2

Cr = +6

Oxidation number of Cr in CrCl3 is:

CrCl3 = Cr + 3Cl = 0

Cr + 3(-1) = 0

Cr -3 = 0

Cr = +3

Hence Cr is changing its oxidation number from

+6 in K2Cr2O7 to +3 in CrCl3.

Since the oxidation number of Cr [ +6 → +3] is decreasing here,

Cr is getting reduced.

so K2Cr2O7 is an oxidizing agent,as it is getting itself reduced and oxidizes others.

Answer: The overall equation will be $Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)$

Explanation:

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Anode : $Co(s)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+2e^{-}$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Cathode : $Ag^+(aq)+e^{-1}\rightarrow Ag(s)$ $\times 2$

The number of electrons lost must be equal to the number of electrons gained , thus overall equation will be :

$Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)$

Answer:

B. Lower than 100 °C because hydrogen sulfide has dipole-dipole interactions instead of hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

Intermolecular bonds exists between seperate molecules or units. Their relative strength determines many physical properties of substances like state of matter, solubility of water, boiling point, volatility, viscosity etc. Examples are Van der waals forces, hydrogen bonds and crystal lattice forces.

In hydrogen sulfide, the intermolecular bond is a dipole-dipole attraction which is a type of van der waals attraction. It occurs as an attraction between polar molecules. These molecules line such that the positive pole of one molecule attracts the negative pole of another.

In water, the intermolecular bond is hydrogen bonds in which an electrostatic attraction exists between the hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom of a neighbouring molecule.

Based on their relative strength:

Van der Waals forces < Hydrogen bonding forces < crystal lattice

This makes water boil at a higher temperature than hydrogen sulfide.
