<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer for 1 is Option 4 and for 2 is Option 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For 1:</u>

From the given options:

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction in which a compound breaks down into two or more smaller compounds.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance is increased.

Neutralization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

From the above information, the correct answer is Option 4.

  • <u>For 2:</u>

Reducing agent is defined as the agent which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. It undergoes oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent is defined as the agent which oxidizes the other substance and itself gets reduced. It undergoes reduction reaction.

The reaction of sodium and oxygen follows the equation:

4Na(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Na_2O(s)

<u>On reactant side:</u>

Oxidation state of sodium = 0

Oxidation state of oxygen = 0

<u>On product side:</u>

Oxidation state of sodium = +1

Oxidation state of oxygen = -2

As, the oxidation state of sodium is increasing from 0 to +1, it is undergoing an oxidation reaction and thus is a reducing agent. While the oxidation state of oxygen is reducing from 0 to -2, it is undergoing an reduction reaction and thus is a oxidizing agent.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

A 2.50 g sample of solid sodium hydroxide is added to 55.0 mL of 25 °C water in a foam cup (insulated from the environment) and
zlopas [31]

Answer:

37.1°C.

Explanation:

  • Firstly, we need to calculate the amount of heat (Q) released through this reaction:

<em>∵ ΔHsoln = Q/n</em>

no. of moles (n) of NaOH = mass/molar mass = (2.5 g)/(40 g/mol) = 0.0625 mol.

<em>The negative sign of ΔHsoln indicates that the reaction is exothermic.</em>

∴ Q = (n)(ΔHsoln) = (0.0625 mol)(44.51 kJ/mol) = 2.78 kJ.

  • We can use the relation:

Q = m.c.ΔT,

where, Q is the amount of heat released to water (Q = 2781.87 J).

m is the mass of water (m = 55.0 g, suppose density of water = 1.0 g/mL).

c is the specific heat capacity of water (c = 4.18 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the difference in T (ΔT = final temperature - initial temperature = final temperature - 25°C).

∴ (2781.87 J) = (55.0 g)(4.18 J/g.°C)(final temperature - 25°C)

∴ (final temperature - 25°C) = (2781.87 J)/(55.0 g)(4.18 J/g.°C) = 12.1.

<em>∴ final temperature = 25°C + 12.1 = 37.1°C.</em>

What is the average mass of a single chlorine atom in grams
Archy [21]
<span>If you look at the chlorine box, with the symbol Cl, you see the atomic mass is equal to 35.453 atomic mass units. This is the weighted average mass of chlorine, including its isotopes, as found in nature. This also means that one mole of chlorine atoms has a mass of 35.453 grams.</span>
