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:

3.41 x10⁶ torr

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to remember the equivalency:

1 torr = 133.322 Pa

Then we can proceed to convert 4.55×10⁸ Pa into torr. To do that we just need to multiply that value by a fraction number, putting the unit that we want to convert from in the denominator, and the value we want to convert to in the numerator:

4.55x10⁸ Pa * $\frac{1torr}{133.322Pa} =$ 3.41 x10⁶ torr

What is the electronegativity of this and how do you get it?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

elecreonegativity is the attraction of a bonded atom for the pair of electrons in a covalent bond. this can occur if:

- the nuclear charges are different

- the atoms are different sizes

- the shared pair of electrons are closer to one nucleus than the other

The possible products of a double displacement reaction in aqueous solution are SrSO4 and NaCl. Which of these possible products

madam [21]

Answer:

SrSO4

Explanation:

According to solubility rules, we know that the sulphates of the elements of group two are insoluble in water. The solubility rules describe what chemical species are soluble in water and what species are not soluble in water.

Generally, all chlorides are soluble in water with exception of chlorides such as silver chloride. The chlorides of group one elements are usually highly soluble in water.

Since SrSO4 is a sulphate of a group two element (strontium) it will be the insoluble solid product of the double displacement reaction described in the question.

What is the relationship between valence electrons and the number of bonds that can be formed?

nadya68 [22]

Like the previous post states, the number of valence electrons (typically the group number for nonmetals)relates directly to the number of covalent bonds available. Additionally, when you exceed this number you create a cation and when you are less the number of potential bonds, you have created a anion.
