Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.
2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent
Explanation:
In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)
Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.
oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.
MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because
On the reactants side
Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7
Oxidation number of Cl- is -1
On the products side
Oxidation number of Mn is +2
While oxidation number of Cl is zero
Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2
True. The building blocks of life are atoms
Well the multiple choices for this question would be helpful, but from my own knowledge I would say:
Magnetic fields have north and south magnetic poles.
Magnetic fields have various characteristics which includes; they originate from the north poles and flow towards the south poles, they are exhibited in the form of magnetic field lines. Magnetic fields lines never cross one another,they all have the same strength and seek the path of least resistance between opposite magnetic poles etc.
The answer should be E,C,F,B,A,D in that order.
Are you sure you copied that down correctly? I know what NH3 is but HJ I am comming up blank on. The only thing HJ I know is hebdojoule which is unit system.
Are you doing chemical balancing?
