Answer: Reducing agent in the given reaction is
.
Explanation:
A reducing agent is defined as an element which tends to lose electrons to other element leading to an increase in its oxidation number.
In the given reaction, oxidation state of sulfur in
is +2 and
has 0 oxidation state.
In
oxidation state of S is 2.5 and in
oxidation state of I is -1.
Since, an increase in oxidation state of S is occurring from +2 to +2.5. Hence, it is acting as a reducing agent.
Thus, we can conclude that reducing agent in the given reaction is
.
Answer:
The key difference between empirical and molecular formulas is that an empirical formula only gives the simplest ratio of atom whereas a molecular formula gives the exact number of each atom in a molecule.
Answer:
2.2%
Explanation:
Percentage error,
You apply the formula,
[(Estimated value - Actual value)/Actual value] × 100%
; [(43.26 - 42.32)/42.32] × 100
; (0.94/42.32) × 100
; 0.022 × 100
Percent error = 2.2%
Answer: the percentage of acetic acid will be low.
Explanation: The major aim during titration of acids and bases is to determine the endpoint , that is exact point where the acid in the beaker changes colour, (in this case, pink )with an additional drop from the burette containing the base, since it is usually difficult to mark the equivalence point that tells us when all the substrate in the beaker has been neutralized completely with the buretted substance.
Overshooting the end point is an error which can occur when the person involved in the the titration accidently goes beyond this endpoint by adding too much of the substance(base) from the burette into the beaker missing the exact endpoint.
This implies that the person has added too much of the burreted liquid, ie the base than required , making the acid in the beaker to continue to react resulting to a lower concentration of the acid (acetic acid) with excess base.(NaOH)
