Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.
2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent
Explanation:
In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.
oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.
MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because
On the reactants side
Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7
Oxidation number of Cl- is -1
On the products side
Oxidation number of Mn is +2
While oxidation number of Cl is zero
Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2
Turns into vapor. not all of the molecules are liquid have the same energy
Answer:
The precipitate is CuS.
Sulfide will precipitate at [S2-]= 3.61*10^-35 M
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: </u>Data given
The solution contains 0.036 M Cu2+ and 0.044 M Fe2+
Ksp (CuS) = 1.3 × 10-36
Ksp (FeS) = 6.3 × 10-18
Step 2: Calculate precipitate
CuS → Cu^2+ + S^2- Ksp= 1.3*10^-36
FeS → Fe^2+ + S^2- Ksp= 6.3*10^-18
Calculate the minimum of amount needed to form precipitates:
Q=Ksp
<u>For copper</u> we have: Ksp=[Cu2+]*[S2-]
Ksp (CuS) = 1.3*10^-36 = 0.036M *[S2-]
[S2-]= 3.61*10^-35 M
<u>For Iron</u> we have: Ksp=[Fe2+]*[S2-]
Ksp(FeS) = 6.3*10^-18 = 0.044M*[S2-]
[S2-]= 1.43*10^-16 M
CuS will form precipitates before FeS., because only 3.61*10^-35 M Sulfur Ions are needed for CuS. For FeS we need 1.43*10^-16 M Sulfur Ions which is much larger.
The precipitate is CuS.
Sulfide will precipitate at [S2-]= 3.61*10^-35 M
The correct answer would be 3.49 times 10^ minus 24 molecules
