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

Coastal flooding occurs when normally dry, low-lying land is flooded by seawater.[1] The extent of coastal flooding is a function of the elevation inland flood waters penetrate which is controlled by the topography of the coastal land exposed to flooding.The seawater can flood the land via from several different paths:

A gas has a pressure of 8.5atm and occupies 24L at 25∘C. What volume (in liters) will the gas occupy if the pressure is increase

Vesna [10]

The volume (in liters) that the gas will occupy if the pressure is increased to 13.5 atm and the temperature is decreased to 15 °C is 15 L

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 8.5 atm

Initial volume (V₁) = 24 L

Initial temperature (T₁) = 25 °C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Final pressure (P₂) = 13.5 atm

Final temperature (T₂) = 15 °C = 15 + 273 = 288 K

<h3>Final volume (V₂) =? </h3>

The final volume of the gas can be obtained by using the combined gas equation as illustrated below:

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\\\frac{8.5 * 24}{298} = \frac{13.5 * V_{2}}{288}\\\\ \frac{204}{298} = \frac{13.5 * V_{2}}{288}\\\\$

Cross multiply

298 × 13.5 × V₂ = 204 × 288

4023 × V₂ = 58752

Divide both side by 4023

$V_{2} = \frac{58752}{4023}\\\\$

Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 15 L

What is the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride, MgCl2? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

xenn [34]

To find the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride (MgCl2), first record the atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) and chloride (Cl), which are both listed on the periodic table as follows: Mg=24 g/mole Cl=38 g/mole Now, double the Cl mass since there are 2 Cl moles in MgCl2 and then add it to the Mg mass like so: (38 g/mole*2 moles)+24 g/mole=100 g/mole Finally, to calculate the mass of 3.00 moles of MgCl2, convert the combined atomic mass to grams as follows: 3.00 moles * 100 g/mole = 300 g
