Chemistry
1 answer:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Oxidizing agent is the reactant in the chemical reaction which oxidizes others and reduces itself.

Reducing agent is the reactant in the chemical reaction which reduces others and oxidizes itself.

(a) In the given reaction :-

8H^+_{(aq)} + [Cr_2O_7]^{2-}_{(aq)} + 3SO_3^{2-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}_{(aq)} + 3SO_4^{2-}_{(aq)} + 4H_2O_{(l)}

Cr exists in +6 oxidation state in [Cr_2O_7]^{2-} and forms Cr^{3+} in which it has +3 oxidation state.

Thus, it is reduced in the chemical reaction. Thus, [Cr_2O_7]^{2-} is oxidizing agent and SO_3^{2-} is the reducing agent.

(b) In the given reaction :-

NO_3^-_{(aq)} + 4Zn_{(s)} + 7OH^-_{(aq)} + 6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow 4Zn(OH)_4^{2-}_{(aq)} + NH_3_{(aq)}

Zn exists in 0 oxidation state in Zn and forms Zn(OH)_4^{2-} in which it has +2 oxidation state.

Thus, it is oxidized in the chemical reaction. Thus, Zn is reducing agent and NO_3^- is the oxidizing agent.

How would adding the catalyst nitrogen monoxide (NO) affect this reaction?
steposvetlana [31]

If nitrogen monoxide (NO) is added to 2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g),

it will react with O2 and decrease the reaction rate by lowering the amount of O2.  So the answer is C.  NO decreases collisions between the SO2 and O2 molecules.
