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.

How many moles of Ag will be produced from 46.0 g of Cu, assuming AgNO3 is available in excess?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

1.44 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Cu = 46 g

Moles of Ag produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Cu + 2AgNO₃      →     2Ag  + Cu(NO₃)₂

Number of moles of Cu:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 46 g/63.546 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.72 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Cu and silver from balance chemical equation:

                 Cu           :               Ag

                  1             :                2

               0.72         :             2×0.72 = 1.44 mol

Thus from 46 g of Cu 1.44 moles of Ag is produced .

What is the name of the covalent compound CCl4?
zubka84 [21]
Think, first, about the type of molecule or formula unit you have (covalent or ionic). In this case, it is a covalent molecule. You start with the carbon. You could say monocarbon, but if it is just said to be carbon it is assumed to be one. Then you take the prefix for 4 and tack it on to the beginning of the chlorine. For this, the name is carbon tetrachloride.

Select True or False: The equilibrium constant for the chemical equation 2NO(g) O2(g) 2NO2(g) is two times the equilibrium const
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The first reaction is;

NO(g) + 1/2O2(g) ---->NO2(g)

K= [NO2]/[NO] [ O2]^1/2

The second reaction is;

2NO(g) + O2(g) ---->2NO2(g)

K'= [NO2]^2/[NO]^2 [O2]

It now follows that;

K'= K^2

Hence the statement in the question is false
