Answer:
The right choice is → a reduction reaction
Explanation:
From the balanced equation
- 3CIO⁻₍aq₎ → CIO⁻ ₍aq₎ + 2Cl⁻ ₍aq₎
we can calculate the change in oxidation number of Cl in reactant and product
in reactant ClO⁻
let x= oxidation number of Cl
and oxidation number of oxygen in its compound is (-2)
and the total charge on the ClO⁻ ion = -1
- ∴x + (-2) = -1 →→→ x = +1
in product Cl⁻
let x= oxidation number of Cl
and the total charge on the Cl⁻ ion = -1
so the oxidation number of Cl decreases from +1 in reactant to -1 in product so it is reduction reaction.
But, disproportionation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which a single substance gets reduced as well as oxidized.
For a disproportionated substance , it should contain at least three oxidation states. which isn't the case here.
<u>So, the right choice is: </u>
→ a reduction reaction
Answer:
Explanation:
3 moles per Liter = 3 molar
Generally (but far from universally), the elements within a group have similar characteristics. Antimony, nitrogen, and arsenic are all part of the same group as phosphorous (the pnictogens, or group 5A). Oxygen is not in this group, but rather in an adjacent group (the chalcogens, or group 6A). Thus, the answer here should be oxygen.
That said, there can be very significant differences in characteristics among the elements within a group, and that is certainly the case here. For example, free nitrogen exists predominantly as a molecular gas (N₂) and makes up about 78% of the atmosphere we breathe. Elemental arsenic (As), while in the same group as nitrogen, is naturally found in the solid state and is poisonous to humans (arsenic is sometimes included among the toxic heavy metals, although it’s technically a metalloid).
