Answer : The oxidizing element is N and reducing element is O. 

KNO_{3} is act as an oxidizing agent as well as reducing agent.

Explanation :

An Oxidizing agent is the agent which has ability to oxidize other or a higher in oxidation number.

Reducing agent is the agent which has ability to reduce other or lower in oxidation number.

The given reaction is :

KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}

KNO_{3}  act as an oxidizing agent.

The oxidation number of N in KNO_{3} is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+3(-2) = 0

x = +5

And the oxidation number of N in KNO_{2}  is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+2(-2) = 0

x = +3

From the oxidation number method, we conclude that the oxidation number  reduced this means KNO_{3} itself get reduced to KNO_{2} and it can act as an oxidizing agent.

KNO_{3}  act as a reducing agent.

KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}

The oxidation number of O in KNO_{3} is calculated as:

(+1)+(+5)+3(x) = 0

x = -2

The oxidation number of O in O_{2} is Zero (o).

Now, we conclude that the oxidation number increases this means KNO_{3} itself get oxidized to O_{2} and it can act as reducing agent.

NaCl has a mc020-1.jpgHfus = 30.2 kJ/mol. What is the mass of a sample of NaCl that needs 732.6 kJ of heat to melt completely?
lilavasa [31]

Answer: The mass of the sample will be 1417.7 grams.

Explanation:

We are given:

\Delta H_{fusion}=30.2kJ/mol

This means that 1 mole of NaCl has an enthalpy of fusion of 30.2 kJ

1 mole of NaCl has a mass of 58.44 grams.

So, 30.2 kJ of heat is require for a mass 58.44 grams of NaCl

So, 732.6 kJ of heat will be required for = \frac{58.44g}{30.2kJ}\times 732.6 kJ = 1417.65 grams of NaCl.

Hence, the mass of NaCl sample will be 1417.7 grams.

What information do we need to determine the molecular formula of a compound from the empirical formula?
defon

Answer:

Molecular mass

Explanation:

Molecular formulas is the actual number of atoms of each element in the compound while empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound.

Thus,  

Molecular mass = n × Empirical mass

Where, n is any positive number from 1, 2, 3...

Thus if the molecular mass is known, then we can find the value of n which results to molecular formula.

What explains the fact that no machine is 100 percent efficient?
kati45 [8]
Hello, to answer your question. It is because all machines require a fuel or source to power it making it imperfect for using some source that may not be renewable.
