When you oxidize something you are removing electrons
When you reduce something you're adding electrons
So the one that is gaining electrons is oxidizing the other substance by taking away relectrons from it and the one losing electrons is reducing the other substance by adding electrons to it.
You can figure out which is which by looking at the charge of each substance
Mg has a charge of 2+ because it had 2 electrons in its outer shell which it will lose to have a full outer shell.
I has a charge of -1 because it has 7 electrons in its outer shell and it gains 1 to have a full outer shell.
Mg is giving electrons to I so it's reducing it and is the reducing agent
I is taking electrons from Mg so it's oxidizing it and is the oxidizing agent.

A solution is made by mixing equal masses of methanol, CH4O, and ethanol, C2H6O. Determine the mole fraction of each component t
Serggg [28]

Answer: mole fraction of methanol = 0.590

mole fraction of ethanol = 0.410

Explanation:

We are given:

Equal masses of methanol CH_4O and ethanol C_2H_6O are mixed.

let the mass be x g.

Calculating the moles of methanol in the solution, by using the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}

Calculating the moles of ethanol in the solution, by using the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}

To calculate the mole fraction of methanol, we use the equation:

\chi_{methanol}=\frac{n_{methanol}}{n_{methaol}+n_{ethanol}}

\chi_{methanol}=\frac{\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}}{\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}+\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}}=0.590

To calculate the mole fraction of ethanol, we use the equation:

\chi_{ethanol}=\frac{n_{ethanol}}{n_{methaol}+n_{ethanol}}

\chi_{ethanol}=\frac{\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}}{\frac{xg}{32.04g/mol}+\frac{xg}{46.07g/mol}}=0.410

Thus mole fraction of methanol is 0.590 and mole fraction of ethanol 0.410 in three significant figures.

A bus traveled south west for 422 kilometers. The entire trip took 3 hours. Calculate the velocity.
ahrayia [7]
V= d/t
v=speed
d=distance
t=time

So v= 422/3
      v =140.667m/s

Drag each tile to the correct location on the image.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

[He]: 2s² 2p⁵.

[Ne]: 3s².

[Ar]: 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p².

[Kr]: 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵.

[Xe]: 6s² 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6p².

Explanation:

  • Noble elements are used as blocks in writing the electronic configuration of other elements as they are stable elements.

  • [He]:

He contains 2 electrons fill 1s (1s²).

So, [He] can be written before the electronic configuration of 2s² 2p⁵.

  • [Ne]:

Ne contains 10 electrons fill (1s² 2s² 2p⁶).

So, [Ne] can be written before the electronic configuration of 3s².

  • [Ar]:

Ar contains 18 electrons is configured as ([Ne] 3s² 3p⁶).

So, [Ar] can be written before the electronic configuration of 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p².

  • [Kr]:

Kr contains 36 electrons is configured as ([Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶).

So, [Kr] can be written before the electronic configuration of 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵.

  • [Xe]:

Xe contains 54 electrons is configured as ([Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶).

So, [Xe] can be written before the electronic configuration of 6s² 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6p².

How do hydroxyl ions and hydronium ions affect pH?
Nookie1986 [14]
Hydroxyl ions are OH⁻ while hydronium ions are H₃O⁺ which is essentially H⁺ ions. The formula for pH is: pH = -log[H⁺]. So, the greater the concentration of H⁺ is, the lower the pH which indicates acidity. On the other hand, the greater the concentration of OH⁻, the greater the pH which indicates basicity. This is also a consequence of the equation: pH + pOH = 14.
