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
Answer:
A. 2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂
Explanation:
When sodium is reacted with water, a single replacement reaction occurs. The product of the reaction is typically sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
Reactants:
Sodium + water
Product:
Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen gas
So;
2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂
Answer:
1188.0 mL.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:
<em>V₁T₂ = V₂T₁
</em>
V₁ = 900 mL, T₁ = 27.0°C + 273 = 300.0 K.
V₂ = ??? mL, T₂ = 123.0°C + 273 = 396.0 K.
<em>∴ V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁ </em>= (900 mL)(396 K)/(300.0 K) = <em>1188.0 mL.</em>
Answer: 1. The empirical formula is
2. The molecular formula is 
Explanation:
If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.
So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.
Mass of P = 37.32 g
Mass of N = 16.88 g
Mass of F = 45.79 g
Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.
Moles of P =
Moles of N =
Moles of F =
Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For P = 
For N = 
For F =
The ratio of P: N: F= 1: 1: 2
Hence the empirical formula is 
The empirical weight of
= 1(31)+1(14)+2(19)= 82.98 g.
The molecular weight = 82.98 g/mole
Now we have to calculate the molecular formula.

The molecular formula will be=
126 grams of H2O is formed.
Explanation:
Data given:
volume of the gas = 88 Liters
pressure = 720 mm Hg or 0.947 atm
temperature T = 22 Degrees or 295.15 K
R = 0.08021 atm L/mole K
n =?
The formula is used is of ideal gas law to know the number of moles of CH4 undergoing combustion.
PV = nRT
n = 
putting the values in the equation
= 0.947 X 88/ 0.08021 X 295.15
n = 3.5 moles
balanced reaction for combustion of methane
CH4 + O2 ⇒ CO2 + 2H20
1 mole of CH4 undergoes combustion to form 2 moles of water
3.5 moles will give x moles of water
2/1 = x/3.5
x = 7 moles of water (atomic mass of water = 18 gram/mole)
mass = atomic mass x number of moles
mass = 18 x 7
=126 grams of water is formed.
