<u>Answer</u>:-

When the reaction takes place Ca is reduced or is an oxidizing agent.

Reaction:

Ca + 2Cl =CaCl2

Note: There is a +2 charge on Ca(Calcium) and -1 charge on each Cl-atom(Chlorine atom) hence the charges are cancelled. Therefore, the total charge on the whole compound is zero.

Explanation:-

• Reduction: gain of electron/electrons

gain of hydrogen

loss of oxygen

Oxidation: gain of oxygen

loss of hydrogen

loss of electron/electrons.

• Oxidizing agent/reduced

Reducing agent/oxidized

• The molecule that is oxidized loses an electron and the molecule that is reduced gains the electron that was lost by the oxidized molecule.

Answer:

\boxed{\text{Chlorine}}

Explanation:

We must use oxidation numbers to decide which substance is reduced.  

\rm \stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{Ca}} + \stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{ Cl}_{2} }\longrightarrow \stackrel{\hbox{+2}}{\hbox{Ca }}\stackrel{\hbox{-1}}{\hbox{Cl}_{2}}

The oxidation number of Ca increases from 0 in Ca to +2 in CaCl₂.

The oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 in Cl₂ to -1 in CaCl₂.

\text{A decrease in oxidation number is reduction, so } \boxed{\textbf{Cl$_{2}$ is the substance reduced.}}

1.15 g of a metallic element needs 300 cm3 of oxygen for complete reaction, at 298 K and 1 atm
sashaice [31]
1) Calculate the number of moles of O2 (g) in 300 cm^3 of gas at 298 k and 1 atm


Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT => n = pV / RT


R = 0.0821 atm*liter/K*mol

V = 300 cm^3 = 0.300 liter

T = 298 K

p = 1 atm


=> n = 1 atm * 0.300 liter / [ (0.0821 atm*liter /K*mol) * 298K] = 0.01226 mol


2) The reaction of a metal with O2(g) to form an ionic compound (with O2- ions) is of the type


X (+) + O2 (g) ---> X2O          or   


2 X(2+) + O2(g) ----> X2O2 = 2XO     or


4X(3+) + 3O2(g) ---> 2X2O3


 
In the first case, 1 mol of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the second case, 2 moles of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the third, 4 moles of X react with 3 moles of O2(g)



So, lets probe those 3 cases.


3) Case 1: 1 mol of metal X / 1 mol O2(g) = x moles / 0.01226 mol

=> x = 0.01226 moles of metal X


Now you can calculate the atomic mass of the hypotethical metal:

1.15 grams / 0.01226 mol = 93.8 g / mol


That does not correspond to any of the metal with valence 1+


So, now probe the case 2.



4) Case 2:


2moles X metal / 1 mol O2(g) = x / 0.01226 mol


=> x = 2 * 0.01226 = 0.02452 mol


And the atomic mass of the metal is: 1.15 g / 0.02452 mol = 46.9 g/mol


That is similar to the atomic mass of titanium which is 47.9 g / mol and whose valece is 2+.


4) Case 3


4 mol meta X / 3 mol O2 = x / 0.01226 => x = 0.01226 * 4 / 3 = 0.01635 


atomic mass = 1.15 g / 0.01635 mol = 70.33 g/mol


That does not correspond to any metal.


Conclusion: the identity of the metallic element could be titanium.

When 16.0 g of an unknown compound (a nonelectrolyte) are dis solved in exactly 800. g of water, the solution has a freezing poi
dexar [7]

Answer:

A. 266g/mol

Explanation:

A colligative property of matter is freezing point depression. The formula is:

ΔT = i×Kf×m <em>(1)</em>

Where:

ΔT is change in temperature (0°C - -0,14°C = 0,14°C)i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for a nonelectrolyte dissolved in water), kf is freezing point molar constant of solvent (1,86°Cm⁻¹) and m is molality of the solution (moles of solute per kg of solution). The mass of the solution is 816,0g

Replacing in (1):

0,14°C = 1×1,86°Cm⁻¹× mol Solute / 0,816kg

<em>0,0614 = mol of solute</em>.

As molar mass is defined as grams per mole of substance and the compound weights 16,0g:

16,0g / 0,0614 mol = 261 g/mol ≈ <em>A. 266g/mol</em>

I hope it helps!

What is the main job of a leaf
DochEvi [55]

Well, I think it's mainly for photosynthesis and gas exchange. A leaf is normally flat, light, and thin, so that the sunlight can get to the chloroplasts in the cells.
