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

For the following reaction in aqueous solution, identify all those species that will be spectator ions. Select all that apply.
FromTheMoon [43]

The reaction is incorrect. The correct reaction is: Na₂SO₄ + Hg(NO₃)₂ → HgSO₄ + 2NaNO₃. The options are:

A. Hg₂SO₄

B. Na₂SO₄

C. Na⁺

D. NO₃⁻

E. SO₄⁻²

F. Hg₂(NO₃)₂

G. NaNO₃

H. Hg⁺²

Answer:

C, D, E, H

Explanation:

The ions are formed after dissociation of the compound in the solution. When they're negatively charged, they're called anions, when they're negatively charged, they're called cations. If the ion is presented on both sides of the reaction, it is called a spectator ion.

Thus, the reaction given:

Na₂SO₄ + Hg(NO₃)₂ → HgSO₄ + 2NaNO₃

So, let's do the dissociation.

Na₂SO₄ is formed by the ions Na⁺ and SO₄⁻²;

Hg(NO₃)₂ is formed by the ions Hg⁺² and NO₃⁻;

HgSO₄ is formed by the ions Hg⁺² and SO₄⁻²;

NaNO₃ is formed by the ions Na⁺ and NO₃⁻.

Thus, the spectator ions are Na⁺, SO₄⁻², Hg⁺², and NO₃⁻.

40. What is the mass of 3 moles of H 2 O
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

54g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of H₂O  = 3 moles

Unknown:

mass of water  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

         mass  = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of H₂O  = 2(1)  + 16  = 18g/mol

Mass of water  = 3 x 18  = 54g
