In the oxidation reduction reaction 2FeCl2 + Cl2 = 2FeCl3 what substance is reduced? What substance is oxidized?

Chemistry

marishachu [46]3 years ago

Answer:

Iron is oxidized while chlorine is reduced.

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

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.

Consider the following reaction:

2FeCl₂  + Cl₂  →  2FeCl₃

in this reaction the oxidation state of iron is increased from +2 to +3. That's why iron get oxidized and it is reducing agent because it reduced the chlorine. The chlorine is reduced from -2 to -3 and it is oxidizing agent because it oxidized the iron.

2Fe⁺²Cl₂⁻²

2Fe⁺³Cl₃⁻³

The iron atom gives it three electrons to three atoms of chlorine and gain positive charge while chlorine atom accept the electron and form anion.

The balanced equation below shows the products that are formed when butane (C4H10) is combusted.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

2:8

Explanation:

The reaction equation is a given as:

         2C₄H₁₀   +    130₂   →    8CO₂     +     10H₂O  

From the reaction equation, the mole ratio is 2:8

Butane is C₄H₁₀

Carbon dioxide CO₂

From the reaction;

       2 moles of butane will produce 8 moles of carbon dioxide

A mixture of CS2(g) and excess O2(g) is placed in a 10 L reaction vessel at 100.0 ∘C and a pressure of 3.10 atm . A spark causes
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

PCO2  = 0.6 25 atm

PSO2  = 1.2 75 atm

PO2 = 0.6  atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume = 10.0 L

Temperature = 100.0 °C

Pressure = 3.10 °C

After reaction, the temperature returns to 100.0 ∘C, and the mixture of product gases (CO2, SO2, and unreacted O2) is found to have a pressure of 2.50 atm

Step 2: The balanced equation

CS2(g)+3O2(g)→CO2(g)+2SO2(g)

Step 3: Name the reactants and products

a = CS2

b = O2 before reaction

c = CO2

d = SO2

e = nS O2 after reaction with n = the number of moles

Step 4: Calculate moles before reaction

PV = nRT

n = PV/(RT)

(na + nb) = (3.10atm) * (10.0L) / ((0.08206 Latm/moleK) * (373.15K))

(na + nb) = 1.0124

Step 5: Calculate moles after reaction

PV = nRT

n = PV/(RT)

nc + nd + ne) = PV/(RT) = (2.50 atm)*(10.0L) / ((0.08206 Latm/moleK)*(373.15K))

(nc + nd + ne) = 0.816 moles

Step 6: Calculate mol fraction

For  1 mole CS2 we need 3 moles O2  to produce 1 mole of CO2 and 2 moles of SO2

moles O2 remaining = ne = nb - 3na

moles CO2 produced = nc = na

moles SO2 producted = nd = 2na

(nc + nd + ne) = 0.816 moles = nb - 3na + na + 2na = 0.816

nb = 0.816

. (na + nb) = 1.0124

na = 1.0124 moles - 0.816 moles = 0.208

which leads to  

nc = na = 0.208

nd = 2na = 2*0.208 = 0.416

ne = 0.816 - 3*0.208 = 0.192

mole fraction CO2 = 0.208 / (0.208 + 0.416 + 0.192) = 0.25

mole fraction SO2 = 0.416 / (0.208 + 0.416 + 0.192) = 0.5 1

mole fraction O2 = 0.192 /(0.208 + 0.416 + 0.192) = 0.24

Step 6: Calculate partial pressure

PCO2 = 0.25 * 2.50 atm = 0.6 25 atm

PSO2 = 0.51 * 2.50 atm = 1.2 75 atm

PO2 = 0.24 * 2.50 atm = 0.6  atm

Step 7: Control results

now let's verify a couple of things

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

before rxn

P = (0.208 + 0.816) * (0.08206 L*atm/mole*K) * (373.15K) / (10.0L) ≈ 3.10 atm

after rxn

P = ((0.208 +0.416+0.192) * (0.08206 L*atm/mole*K) * (373.15K) / (10.0L) ≈ 2.50 atm

Do you think flowers are important to mindkind? If yes explain why in your own words please it would mean a lot!!
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Flowers play a crucial role in our lives; they have been used for generations to express the thoughts and feelings words cannot fully explain. Mother nature is the short term used to describe how nature gives life and nurture as a mother does for her children. As humans, we are part of mother nature's plan. We are also connected to plants and flowers, and some of the benefits have been passed to the next generation and will always be. We can control the air that we breathe, the aura around us, how we feel, and the things we attract in life. Other than only gifting your loved ones with flowers on special occasions, you can make the best and lasting impressions on your loved ones with a flower plant gift. This gesture shows that you understand how flowers are important in our life. To shed light on the importance of flowers in our life, here is a blog that will give five importance of flowers
