Answer: I2 is the Oxidant; while the 2S2O3(-2) is the reductant.
Explanation:
An Oxidant is any substance that oxidizes, or receives electrons from, another; in so doing, it becomes reduced in oxidation number.
A Reductant thus exactly the opposite.
Note that the equation provided shows that Iodine (I2) received an electron to become NEGATIVELY CHARGED:
I2 --> 2I-.
The oxidation number reduced from 0 to -1.
In contrast, the oxidation number of 2S2O3(-2) increases from -4 to -2.
Thus, I2 is the Oxidant; while the 2S2O3(-2) is the reductant.
Answer:
Decomposition
Explanation:
First, you have one compound, then they break up, or decompose, into two compounds.
The astronomical unit or also know as AU. Scientists use this because it’s convenient and easier to understand! Hope this helps ;)
In order of reactivity: magnesium, iron, copper, silver
The mass number of this particular element is 37
An element with 17 protons will ALWAYS be chlorine.
The mass number is found by adding the element’s protons and neutrons.
protons+neutrons=mass number
Here is the math if needed,
17+20=37
Therefore the mass number is 37
I hope this helped!
