Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Which chemical equation represents a redox reaction? A. Mg(ClO3)2 + 2HCl → MgCl2 + 2HClO3   B. CO + H2O → H2 + CO2 C. 2NH4NO3 + CuCl2 → 2NH4Cl + Cu(NO3)2 D. Na2SO3 + FeBr2 → 2NaBr + FeSO3 "

Answer:

B. CO + H2O → H2 + CO2

Explanation:

The reactions that involve loss and gain of electrons are called oxide-reduction reactions. In the oxidation reaction, electrons are lost, while the reduction reaction consists of gaining electrons.

Oxidation can occur in three circumstances: when oxygen is added to the substance, when a substance loses hydrogen or when the substance loses electrons. Example: fruit salads tend to darken when they come into contact with air, this is because oxygen acts to promote fruit oxidation. A tip to avoid this is to add lemon or orange juice, as the vitamin C present in citrus fruits prevents the oxidizing action of oxygen on the salad.

Reduction, in turn, is the reverse and also occurs in three ways: when a substance loses oxygen, when it gains hydrogen or when it gains electrons. Example: when the copper oxide (black) is placed in an appropriate apparatus (chamber) for its reduction to occur, the hydrogen gas comes in contact with the super heated copper oxide and, as a result, it loses oxygen and gradually goes away. turning pink as it is being reduced to copper.

An example of a redox reaction is CO + H2O → H2 + CO2

Answer:

Assign oxidation numbers to all atoms in the equation.

Compare oxidation numbers from the reactant side to the product side of the equation.

The element oxidized is the one whose oxidation number increased.

Choose the reaction that represents the combustion of C6H12O2.
Leona [35]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  letter D

Explanation:

In a combustion reaction, the reactants are always a molecule with Carbon that reacts with oxygen and the products are carbon dioxide and water.

According to the explanation, the only possible solution is:

a) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g)

b) Mg(s) + C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ MgC₆H₁₂O₂(aq)

c) 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₂(l)

d) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) + 8 O₂(g) ⇒ 6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

e) None of the above represent the combustion of C₆H₁₂O₂.

When 125 grams of FeO react with 25.0 grams of Al, how many grams of Fe can be produced? FeO + Al → Fe + Al2O3 25.9 g Fe 38.7 g
Serga [27]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of iron produced will be 77.6 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For FeO:</u>

Given mass of FeO = 125 g

Molar mass of FeO = 71.8 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of FeO}=\frac{125g}{71.8g/mol}=1.74mol

  • <u>For aluminium:</u>

Given mass of aluminium = 25.0 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{25.0g}{27g/mol}=0.93mol

The given chemical reaction follows:

3FeO+2Al\rightarrow 3Fe+Al_2O_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium metal reacts with 3 mole of FeO

So, 0.93 moles of aluminium metal will react with = \frac{3}{2}\times 0.93=1.395mol of FeO

As, given amount of FeO is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, aluminium metal is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium metal produces 3 mole of iron metal

So, 0.93 moles of aluminium metal will produce = \frac{3}{2}\times 0.93=1.395moles of iron metal

  • Now, calculating the mass of iron metal from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron = 55.85 g/mol

Moles of iron = 1.395 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

1.395mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron}}{55.85g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron}=(1.395mol\times 55.85g/mol)=77.6g

Hence, the mass of iron produced will be 77.6 grams

PLS HELP The average atomic mass of carbon is 12.01 amu. Based on the atomic
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

B. There is a very large percentage of C-12.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to realize that, since the average atomic mass is 12.01 amu, then the C-12, with an atomic mass of 12.000 am prevails over C-13 with an atomic mass of 13.003 amu as long as the average is nearer to the former.

In such a way, the answer will be B. There is a very large percentage of C-12.
