Answer: only Br2.

Justification.

In a chemical reaction the element that gains electrons experiments a reduction in its oxidation state, that is why it is said that it is reduced.

So, to know what element is being reduced you need to calculate the oxidation states of the elements involved.

Here I indicate the oxidation states of each element if the reaction putting them inside parenthesis:

Reactants side          Products side

K (0) K (1+)

Br (0)                          Br(1-)

So, K lost one electron, increasing its oxidation statefrom 0 to 1+, meaning that it is being oxidized.

And, each atom of Br gained one electron, reducing its oxidation state from 0 to 1-, meaning it is being reduced.

Therefore, the answer is that Br2 is the substance being reduced.

Water combines with carbon dioxide Choose one: A. only in the atmosphere. B. to produce hydrogen sulfide. C. to precipitate calc

katovenus [111]

Water combines with carbon dioxide to produce slightly acidic groundwater

that dissolves limestone and forms caves.

This is because the reaction between water and carbondioxide to form

bicarbonate ions( HCO₃⁻). The bicarbonate ions dissociate into Hydrogen

atoms thereby increasing the acidity.

The acidic environment results in the formation of acidic groundwater that

dissolves limestone and forms caves.

The boiling point of liquid nitrogen is 77 kelvin. It is observed that ice forms at the opening of a container of liquid nitroge

icang [17]

Answer:

The answer is "The First choice".

Explanation:

The whole question can be found in the file attached.

The water vapor inside the air freezes thru the entrance of its nitrogen. This is because liquid nitrogen has a very low temperature and seems to be sufficiently cold to condensed and freeze the steam of water. At air pressure, it has a boiling temperature of -196°C. Freezing the skin producing freeze or cold burns can be associated with direct contact.

Calculate the mols for 4.2g of a Mg<br>

hjlf

Answer:

0.175mol

Explanation:

Mole of a substance can be calculated using the formula as follows:

number of moles (n) = mass (m) ÷ molar mass (MM)

According to this question, there are 4.2g of Magnesium (Mg).

Molar mass of Magnesium = 24g/mol, hence, the number of moles of 4.2g of Mg is as follows:

n = 4.2g ÷ 24g/mol

n = 0.175mol

Calculate the volume of water which was liberated during the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

nikitadnepr [17]

The answer is :

The normal equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide indicates that 2 vol. peroxide vapor should give rise to 2 vol. water vapor and 1 vol. oxygen.

What is hydrogen peroxide ?

Hydrogen peroxide is water (H2O) with an extra oxygen molecule (H2O2).
The extra oxygen molecule oxidizes, which is how peroxide gets its power says Dr. Beers.
This oxidation kills germs and bleaches color from porous surfaces like fabrics.
Hydrogen peroxide is found in biological systems including the human body.
Enzymes that use or decompose hydrogen peroxide are classified as peroxidases.

Chlorine gas reacts with aluminum metal producing aluminum chloride. What mass of chlorine reacts with 9.00g of Al to form AlCl3

Anit [1.1K]

The mass of chlorine that react with 9.00 g of Al to form AlCl3 is 35.465 grams

Explanation
write the equation for reaction
that is
2 Al + 3 Cl2 = 2 Al CL3
find the moles of Al reacted

moles = mass/molar mass

9 g/ 27 g/mol = 0.333 moles of Al

by use of mole ratio between Al to Cl2 which is 2:3 find the moles of Cl2

mole of cl2 = 0.333 x3/2 = 0.4995 moles

mass of Cl2 is therefore = moles x molar mass

= 0.4995 x71 = 35.465 moles
