<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Option b.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidizing agent is defined as the chemical reagent which helps the other chemical compound to get oxidized and itself gets reduced. The oxidation state for these species gets reduced because they are undergoing reduction reaction.

For the given chemical equation:

K_2Cr_2O_7+14HCl\rightarrow 2CrCl_3+2KCl+3Cl_2+7H_2O

Oxidation state of Chromium is getting reduced from +6 to +3 and oxidation state of chlorine getting increased from -1 to 0.

Hence, K_2Cr_2O_7 acts like and oxidizing agent because it is itself getting reduced to CrCl_3

Therefore, the correct answer is Option b.

Which characteristic of water helps it form droplets?
inessss [21]

Answer: C. High surface tension

Explanation:

Water has high specific heat as it require high heat to raise the temperature of 1 g of water through 1^0C.

Surface tension is the net downward force acting on the surface of liquids due to the cohesive nature of liquids.  

Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom making it polar. Thus water molecules present on the surface are strongly attracted by the molecules present below the surface and thus act as a stretched membrane.  

The surface acquires a minimum surface are and thus acquire a spherical shape.

Boron sulfide, B2S3(s), reacts violently with water to form dissolved boric acid (H3BO3) and hydrogen sulfide gas.Express your a
ioda

Answer:

Explanation:

From the statement of the problem,

  B₂S₃_{s} + H₂O_{l}  →  H₃BO₃_{aq} + H₂S_{g}

              B₂S₃ + H₂O  →  H₃BO₃ + H₂S

We that the above expression does not conform with the law of conservation of mass:

To obey the law, we need to derive a balanced reaction equation:

   Let us use the mathematical method to obtain a balanced equation.

let the balanced equation be:

                        aB₂S₃ + bH₂O  →  cH₃BO₃ + dH₂S

where a, b, c and d will make the equation balanced.

  Conservating B: 2a = c

                          S: 3a = d

                          H: 2b = 3c + 2d

                           O: b = 3c

   if a = 1,

      c = 2,

      b = 6,

      2d = 2(6) - 3(2) = 6, d = 3

Now we can input this into our equation:

                     B₂S₃ + 6H₂O  →  2H₃BO₃ + 3H₂S

    B₂S₃_{s} + 6H₂O_{l}  →  2H₃BO₃_{aq} + 3H₂S_{g}

Is there a clear difference between a very polar covalent bond and an ionic bond explain?
garik1379 [7]
Yes, Ionic bonds do not share electrons. Polar covalent bonds share electrons they just share them unevenly due to the polarity.
