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

When 0.49 g of a molecular compound was dissolved in 20.00 g of cyclohexane, the freezing point of the solution was lowered by 3
IRISSAK [1]

Answer: The molecular mass of this compound is 131 g/mol

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point:

\Delta T_f=i\times k_f\times \frac{w_2\times 1000}{M_2\times w_1}

where,

\Delta T_f = depression in freezing point  = 3.9^oC

k_f = freezing point constant  = 20.8^0C/m

m = molality

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

w_2 = mass of solute = 0.49 g

w_1 = mass of solvent (cyclohexane) = 20.00 g

M_2 = molar mass of solute = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

(3.9)^oC=1\times (20.8^oC/m)\times \frac{(0.49g)\times 1000}{M_2\times (20.00g)}

M_2=131g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of solute is 131 g/mol

Which term names elements that are usually shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity?
Sonbull [250]

Elements that are usually shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity are metals.

<h3>What are conductors?</h3>

The conductors are the metal or non metal elements which allow heat and electricity to easily pass through them.

Metals are elements with good conductivity of electric current and heat. Metals have lustre characteristics. They are shiny and bendable just like copper wire, which is a metal.

Hence, elements that are usually shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity are metals.

Identify the blocks and groups of elements in the periodic table​
djyliett [7]

Explanation:

The periodic table is a table that arranges elements based on their atomic numbers into groups and periods.

The groups are the vertical arrangement of elements. All elements in a group share similar chemical properties because they have the same number of elements in their valence shell. The periodic table groups are:

               Group                             Other names

              1A or 1                               Alkali metals

              IIA or 2                              Alkaline earth metals

             IIIA or 3                            Boron family

             VIA or 6                             Chalcogens

            VIIA or 17                            Halogens

             O-18                                  Inert elements

             IIIB-IIB                              Transition elements

There are 18 vertical columns divided into 8 tall groups or main groups which are 1A to O. The short groups or subgroups are from numerals 1B to VIII.

The periodic table can be divided into four blocks based on the type of sublevels their valence electrons occupy.

  • Group IA and IIA constitute the s-block
  • Group IIIA to O constitute the p-block
  • The transition elements makes up the d-block
  • The lanthanides and actinides makes up the f-block

What substance is oxidized in the reaction Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Mg

Explanation:

Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu

Magnesium is oxidized because its oxidation state increased from 0 to +2 while Cu is reduced because its oxidation state decreased from +2 to 0.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

<em>Consider the following reactions. </em>

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄  →  Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is  also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

How many moles of oxygen atoms are in 1.2x10^25 diphosphorus pentoxide molecules
insens350 [35]

Answer:

19.9 atoms

Explanation:

Grams --- Moles --- Atoms

You're converting from atoms (molecules) to moles.

You do not have to calculate the mass of "di phosphorus pentoxide."

Since you're already given 1.2x10^25 atoms, you start with that. You need to cancel out the atoms, so you need Avogadro's number as shown in the image.

(This has nothing to do with the problem) But in case if you're wondering, the "di" in phosphorus means there's 2 phosphorus and the "pent" means that there are 5 oxygens. So P2O5. Go to your periodic table, multiply their respective atomic masses. You would multiply phosphorus twice and oxygen 5 times. And add them up to get the overall mass.

I hope this helped!
