<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.}}

Answer:

Ea= -175.45J

A= 3.5×10^14

k=3.64 ×10^14 s^2.

Explanation:

From

ln k= -(Ea/R) (1/T) + ln A

This is similar to the equation of a straight line:

y= mx + c

Where m= -(Ea/R)

c= ln A

y= ln k

a)

Therefore

21.10 3 104= -(Ea/8.314)

Ea=-( 21.10 3 104×8.314)

Ea= -175.45J

b) ln A= 33.5

A= e^33.5

A= 3.5×10^14

c)

k= Ae^-Ea/RT

k= 3.5×10^14 × e^ -(-175.45/8.314×531)

k = 3.64 ×10^14 s^2.

In terms of energy what kind of system is a sealed glass terrarium on a windsill?
Snezhnost [94]
If the sealed glass is permeable to sunlight or to transfer of heat will be an open system, but if the sealed glass is a thermic glass and doesn't allow exchange of heat and exchange of solar energy (for example a mirrored glass that reflect the sunlight) and the terrarium is not exchanging energy with the surroundings will be a closed system. It is a question that doesn't specify too many details about the system in the study. It is hard to give a final answer without making some assumptions.
