Answer: D
Explanation:
A reducing agent is a species that reduces other compounds, and is thereby oxidized. The whole compound becomes the reducing agent. In other words, of a compound is oxidized, then they are the reducing agent. On the other hand, if the compound is reduced, it is an ozidizing agent.
Since we have established that a reducing agent is the compound being oxidized, we know that A is not our answer. An oxidized compound is losing electrons. Choice A states exactly this.
For B, this is true as we have established this already.
C is also correct. Since a reducing agent loses electrons, it becomes more positive. This makes the oxidation number increase.
D would be our correct answer. It is actually a good oxidizing agent is a metal in a high oxidation state, such as Mn⁷⁺.
a balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the atoms involved in the reactants side is equal to the number of atoms in the products side.
Answer:
462g
Explanation:
First, let us calculate the molar mass of Cu(CN)2. This is illustrated below:
Molar Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 63.5 + 2(12+14) = 63.5 + 2(26) = 63.5 + 52 = 115.5g/mol
Number of mole of Cu(CN)2 given from the question = 4moles
Mass = number of mole x molar Mass
Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 4 x 115.5
Mass of Cu(CN)2 = 462g
