Answer:

The motivating force for seafloor spreading ridges is tectonic plate slab pull at subduction zones, rather than magma pressure, although there is typically significant magma activity at spreading ridges.

Identify the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following electron transfe
Vesna [10]

Answer:

In the given chemical reaction:

Species Oxidized: I⁻

Species Reduced: Fe³⁺

Oxidizing agent: Fe³⁺

Reducing agent: I⁻

As the reaction proceeds, electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺

Explanation:

Redox reaction is a chemical reaction involving the simultaneous movement of electrons thereby causing oxidation of one species and reduction of the other species.

The chemical species that <u><em>gets reduced by gaining electrons </em></u><u>is called an </u><u><em>oxidizing agent</em></u>. Whereas, the chemical species that <u><em>gets oxidized by losing electrons </em></u><u>is called a </u><u><em>reducing agent</em></u><u>.</u>

Given redox reaction: 2Fe³⁺ + 2I⁻ → 2Fe²⁺ + I₂

<u>Oxidation half-reaction</u>: 2 I⁻ +  → I₂ + 2 e⁻                 ....(1)

<u>Reduction half-reaction</u>: [ Fe³⁺ + 1 e⁻ → Fe²⁺ ] × 2

                                   ⇒  2 Fe³⁺ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺       ....(2)

In the given redox reaction, <u>Fe³⁺ (oxidation state +3) accepts electrons and gets reduced to Fe²⁺ (oxidation state +2) and I⁻ (oxidation state -1) loses electrons and gets oxidized to I₂ (oxidation state 0).</u>

<u>Therefore, Fe³⁺ is the oxidizing agent and I⁻ is the reducing agent and the electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺.</u>

How many moles of aluminum oxide will be produced from 0.50 mol of oxygen? 4 al + 3 o2 2 al2o3?
LuckyWell [14K]
From the equation;
 4 Al + 3 O2 = 2 Al2O3
The mole ratio of Oxygen is to Aluminium hydroxide is  3:2.
Therefore; moles of Al2O3 is 
 (0.5/3 )× 2 = 0.333 moles
Therefore; The moles of aluminium oxide will be 0.333 moles

Dehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products.
UNO [17]

Explanation:

Dehydrohalogenation reactions occurs as elimination reactions through the following mechanism:

Step 1: A strong base(usually KOH) removes a slightly acidic hydrogen proton from the alkyl halide.

Step 2: The electrons from the broken hydrogen‐carbon bond are attracted toward the slightly positive carbon (carbocation) atom attached to the chlorine atom. As these electrons approach the second carbon, the halogen atom breaks free.

However, elimination will be slower in the exit of Hydrogen atom at the C2 and C3 because of the steric hindrance by the methyl group.

Elimination of the hydrogen from the methyl group is easier.

Thus, the major product will A
