Select the correct answer. which substance in this redox reaction is the oxidizing agent? cu 2agno3 → 2ag cu(no3)2 a. n b. agno3

lana66690 [7]

AgNO₃ will act as the oxidising agent.

<h3><u>For the given chemical equation:</u></h3>

Cu + 2AgNO₃ → 2Ag + Cu(NO₃)₂

Half reactions for the given chemical reaction:

<u>Reducing agent:</u>

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻

Copper is a reducing agent because it is losing 2 electrons, which causes an oxidation process.

<u>Oxidising Agent</u>:

Ag⁺ + e⁻ → Ag

The silver ion undergoes a reduction process and is regarded as an oxidizing agent since it is acquiring one electron per atom.

Hence, AgNO₃ is considered as an oxidizing agent and therefore the correct answer is Option B.

<h3><u>Oxidising and Reducing agents</u></h3>

An oxidizing agent is a substance that reduces itself after oxidizing another material. It passes through a reduction process in which it obtains electrons and the substance's oxidation state is decreased.
A reducing agent is a chemical that oxidizes after reducing another material. It passes through an oxidation process in which it loses electrons and the substance's oxidation state increases.

Which of the following is NOT an acceptable unit for reporting gas pressure?

Arada [10]

Answer:

mL

Explanation:

Atmospheres (atn), Torr, and mm of Hg are all units of pressure but mL is a unit of volume, not pressure.

The analysis of a compound gives the following percent composition by mass: C: 52.14 percent; H: 9.946 percent; S: 12.66 percent

wariber [46]

Answer:

C11H25SO4

Explanation:

The total mass of the compound is 253.4 g, so, the mass of each element will be:

C: 52.14% of 253.4 = 0.5214x253.4 = 132.12 g

H: 9.946% of 253.4 = 0.09946x253.4 = 25.20 g

S: 12.66% of 253.4 = 0.1266x253.4 = 32.08 g

O: 25.26% of 253.4 = 0.2526x253.4 = 64.00 g

The molar mass are: C = 12 g/mol, H 1 g/mol, S = 32 g/mol, and O = 16 g/mol

So, to know how much moles will be, just divide the mass calculated above for the molar mass:

C: 132.12/12 = 11 moles

H: 25.20/ 1 = 25 moles

S: 32.08/32 = 1 mol

O: 64.00/16 = 4 moles

So the molecular formula is C11H25SO4

Why is zinc not extracted from ZnO through reduction using CO?

Jet001 [13]

The standard Gibbs free energy of formation of ZnO from Zn is lower than that of CO2 from CO. Therefore, CO cannot reduce ZnO to Zn. Hence, Zn is not extracted from ZnO through reduction using CO

Using the thermodynamic information in the ALEKS Data tab, calculate the boiling point of titanium tetrachloride . Round your an

ddd [48]

Answer:

The boiling point is 308.27 K (35.27°C)

Explanation:

The chemical reaction for the boiling of titanium tetrachloride is shown below:

Ti $Cl_{4(l)}$ ⇒ Ti $Cl_{4(g)}$

ΔH° $_{f}$ (Ti $Cl_{4(l)}$ ) = -804.2 kJ/mol

ΔH° $_{f}$ (Ti $Cl_{4(g)}$ ) = -763.2 kJ/mol

Therefore,

ΔH° $_{f}$ = ΔH° $_{f}$ (Ti $Cl_{4(g)}$ ) - ΔH° $_{f}$ (Ti $Cl_{4(l)}$ ) = -763.2 - (-804.2) = 41 kJ/mol = 41000 J/mol

Similarly,

s°(Ti $Cl_{4(l)}$ ) = 221.9 J/(mol*K)

s°(Ti $Cl_{4(g)}$ ) = 354.9 J/(mol*K)

Therefore,

s° = s° (Ti $Cl_{4(g)}$ ) - s°(Ti $Cl_{4(l)}$ ) = 354.9 - 221.9 = 133 J/(mol*K)

Thus, T = ΔH° $_{f}$ /s° = [41000 J/mol]/[133 J/(mol*K)] = 308. 27 K or 35.27°C

Therefore, the boiling point of titanium tetrachloride is 308.27 K or 35.27°C.
