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

the correct option is :

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


<u>Oxidation number of Cr in K2Cr2O7 is:</u>

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

<u>Cr = +6</u>


<u>Oxidation number of Cr in CrCl3 is:</u>

CrCl3 = Cr + 3Cl = 0

Cr + 3(-1) = 0

Cr -3 = 0

<u>Cr = +3</u>

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.

If a sample of gold is a cube what is the length of each edge in centimeters
Irina-Kira [14]
<span>This question cannot be answered in actual centimeters unless at least one edge has a known length however it can be written as (length^3) or (length cubed). As an example if the sample of gold cube had one length of 3cm then all lengths would be 3cm on the cube.</span>

Calculate the mass in grams of 1.72×10^24 molecules of formaldehyde. The chemical formula for formaldehyde is CH2O.
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: m= 85.8 g CH2O

Explanation: First step is convert the molecules of CH2O to moles using the Avogadro's Number.

1.72x10²⁴ molecules CH2O x 1 mole CH2O / 6.022x10²³ molecules CH2O

= 2.86 moles CH2O

Next is convert the moles of CH2O to mass using the molar mass of CH2O

2.86 moles CH2O x 30 g CH2O / 1 mole CH2O

= 85.8 g CH2O
