Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following:

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.

Which of the following models a single replacement reaction? ​
koban [17]
The correct answer would be option 3. I order for a single displacement to occur there must be a single element and one compound. From then, the single element will then swap places with one of the elements in the compound (or in this case single circle and combined circles). Hope this helped!
