Answer:-

Oxygen gains electrons and is reduced.

Explanation:-

For this reaction the balanced chemical equation is

4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3

When Oxygen is present as oxygen gas, the oxidation number of O is Zero since it is the only element present in Oxygen gas.

Similarly Iron is present in Fe with oxidation number Zero.

In the case of Fe2O3, Oxygen has the oxidation number -2 while Iron has +3.

So the oxidation number of Oxygen goes from Zero to -2.

Since the oxidation number decreases Oxygen is reduced.

Since reduction involves gain of electrons, Oxygen gains electrons.

When 1. 0 l of 0. 00010 m naoh and 1. 0 l of 0. 0014 m mgso4 are mixed, would a precipitate be formed? show work
koban [17]

When 1. 0 l of 0. 00010 m NaOH and 1. 0 l of 0. 0014 m mgso4 are mixed, there will be no precipitate formed.

<h3>What is a precipitate?</h3>

The precipitate is the solid concentration of a substance that is collected over a solution.

First, we determine the concentration of magnesium and hydroxide

(Mg2+) = 7.00 × 10⁻⁴

(OH−) = 5.00 × 10⁻⁵

Now, we calculate the solubility quotient

Qc = (Mg2+) (OH−) ²

Qc = 7.00 × 10⁻⁴ x (5.00 × 10⁻⁵)²

Qc = 1.75 x 10⁻¹²

The solubility product of the magnesium hydroxide is 1.80 x 10⁻¹¹ which is more than the solubility quotient. Thus, there will be no precipitate form.

Thus, there will be no precipitate formed because the solubility quotient we calculated is less than the solubility product.
