Answer:

D. Chlorine is reduced in reaction 1 and iron is oxidized in reaction 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to determine if a substance has been oxidized or reduced is to calculate its <em>oxidation number</em>.

The important rules for oxidation numbers are:

  1. The oxidation number of an element is zero.
  2. The oxidation number of H is usually +1.
  3. The oxidation number of Cl is usually -1.
  4. The sum of all the oxidation numbers in a compound is zero.

Also,

  • An increase in oxidation number is oxidation.
  • A decrease in oxidation number is reduction.

1. \stackrel{\hbox{+1}}{\hbox{H}_{2}}\stackrel{\hbox{-2}}{\hbox{S}} + \stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{Cl}}_{2}  \longrightarrow\stackrel{\hbox{+1}}{\hbox{ 2H}}\stackrel{\hbox{-1}}{\hbox{Cl}} +\stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{S}}

2. \stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{Fe}} + \stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{S}} \longrightarrow \stackrel{\hbox{+2}}{\hbox{ Fe}}\stackrel{\hbox{-2}}{\hbox{S}}

Thus, the oxidation number of S in H₂S and FeS is +2.

In Reaction 1, the oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 to -1. The Cl is reduced.

In Reaction 2, the oxidation number of Fe changes from 0 to +2. The Fe is oxidized.

29. What is E for a system which has the following two steps:
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Recall that;

E = q + w

Where;

q = heat, w = work done

When heat is absorbed by the system q is positive

When heat is evolved by the system q is negative

When the system does work, w is negative

When work is done on the system w is positive

Step 1

ΔE1= 60 KJ + 40 KJ = 100KJ

Step 2

ΔE2= (-30 KJ) + (-70 KJ) = (-100) KJ

ΔE1 + ΔE2= 100KJ + (-100) KJ = 0KJ

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The relevant equation is:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Explanation:

1 mol of calcium carbonate can react to 2 moles of Hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mol of water, 1 mol of calcium chloride and 1 mol of carbon dioxide.

The formed CO₂ is the reason why you noticed bubbles as the reaction took place

Which shows the correct order of increasing trophic level, from producer to tertiary consumer?
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Grass, deer, wolf, fungi.

Explanation:

The tropical level of an organism is defined as the position of organism occupied in the food chain. The food chain is starts from tropical level one which is primary producers (such as plants), then move to herbivores (such as deer) in level two, carnivores, (such as wolf) at level three, apex predators in level four (such as lions), and it ends in decomposers such as fungi.

Fungi play important role in ecosystem to help in breakdown of dead organic matter and return nutrients to the soil. Without fungi nutrients cannot cycle in an ecosystem, and causing the breakdown of entire food web.
