<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.}}

For an atom’s electrons, how many energy sublevels are present in the principal energy level n = 4?
jekas [21]
In this question given concerning the atom's electron, the number of energy sublevels present in the principal energy level n = 4 is to be determined. For this matter, it should be remembered that the number of sublevels of a certain principal energy level is equal to n. For this item, the number of sublevels is also 4. That is s, p, d and f.

A closed system initially containing 1×10^-3 hydrogen 2×10^-3M iodine at 448 degree Celsius and is allowed to reach equilibrium.
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Kc = 50.5

Explanation:

We determine the reaction:

H₂  +  I₂   ⇄   2HI

Initially we have 0.001 molesof H₂

and 0.002 moles of I₂

If we have produced 0.00187 moles of HI in the equilibrium we have to know, how many moles of I₂ and H₂, have reacted.

           H₂     +      I₂      ⇄   2HI

In:     0.001       0.002           -

R:       x                 x                2x

Eq:  0.001-x    0.002-x      0.00187  

x = 0.00187/2 = 9.35×10⁻⁴ moles that have reacted

So in the equilibrium we have:

0.001 - 9.35×10⁻⁴ = 6.5×10⁻⁵  moles of H₂

0.002 - 9.35×10⁻⁴ = 1.065×10⁻³ moles of I₂

Expression for Kc is =  (HI)² / (H₂) . (I₂)

0.00187 ² /  6.5×10⁻⁵ . 1.065×10⁻³ = 50.5
