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.

When is a covalent bond described as polar? Choose one: when electrons are transferred from one atom to another if covalently bo
melomori [17]

Answer:

if electrons are shared unequally between bonded atoms

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is a bond that is formed due to the unequal distribution of electrons between two partially charged atoms. This is observed when the difference in electronegativity between the bond atoms is between 0.5 and 1.7.

A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons that form the bond are unevenly distributed. This causes the molecule to have a slight electric dipole moment where one end is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative.

The charge of the electric dipoles is less than a full unit charge, so they are considered partial charges and are called delta plus (δ +) and delta minus (δ-).

Because positive and negative charges are separated at the bond, molecules with polar covalent bonds interact with the dipoles of other molecules. This produces intermolecular dipole-dipole forces between the molecules.

Is it possible for the equivalence point of a titration to not be at pH 7? Explain your answer.
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>The reason it will be 7 for some titrations is that when you  titrates a strong acid with a strong base for example  HCl and NaOH the salt formed is conjugate base of strong acid and will be a very weak base
 That means that it cannot produce any OH^-1 and all the H+ has been converted to water.The only source of H+ or OH is water with a Ka of 10^-14 so the pH = -log [H+]=-log 10^-7 = 7 
second reason is 
When you titrates a weak acid with strong base at equivalence point 
only a water solution of the conjugate base exists 

CH3COOH + NaOH ----- Na+ CH3COO^-1 + H2O 
Since the conjugate base is the conjugate base of a weak acid it will hydrolyze in water like so 
for instance Na+ CH3COO^-1 + HCl---- CH3COOH + NaCl the equivalence point will be way BELOW 7 and in the case of above will be less than 5. So pH of 7 at equivalence point is only reached in strong acid strong base titrations.
hope this helps</span>

Assuming the relative rate of secondary hydrogen atom abstraction for the chlorination of propane is 3.9 times faster than the r
Ghella [55]

Answer:

% of n-propyl chloride = 43.48 %

Explanation:

There are 2 secondary hydrogens and 6 primary hydrogens

The rate of abstraction of seondary hydrogen = 3.9 X rate of abstraction of primary hydrogen

probability of formation of isopropyl chloride = 3.9 X 1 (relative rate X relative number of secondary hydrogens)

Probability of formation of n-propyl chloride = 1 X 3 (relative rate X relative number of primary hydrogens)

Total probability = 3.9

% of n-propyl chloride = 3 X 100 / 6.9 = 43.48 %
