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.

How many bonds would be needed when bonding 2 atoms of nitrogen to achieve a full octet for both atoms?
andriy [413]

Answer:

3 bonds are needed.

Explanation:

The electrons that are involved in chemical bonding are those in the outer shell of the highest energy level of the atom. The electron configuration of nitrogen (N) is 1s²2s²2p³. That means thy at each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons: 2 electrons in the 2s orbital and 3 electrons in the 2p orbital. To fullfil the octet, each nitrogen atom needs 3 electrons. So, they can share each other 3 electrons to form 3 simple bonds. Therefore, the nitrogen molecule (N₂) has 3 bonds involving 6 bonding electrons or a triple bond.

For an experiment, you place 15 g of ice with a temperature of -10 C into a cup and label
melamori03 [73]
The correct answer is c. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a sample so if two samples have the same temperature they will also have the same average kinetic energy. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Determine the volume of 3.30 mol of a gas at 25°C and 0.995 atm.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

V = 81.14 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = ?

Number of moles = 3.30 mol

Temperature of gas = 25°C

Pressure of gas = 0.995 atm

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will convert the temperature.

25+273 = 298 K

now we will put the values in formula:

V = 3.30 mol 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   298 K / 0.995 atm

V = 80.74 L. atm / 0.995 atm

V = 81.14 L
