Answer:
Mass = 153.48 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of solution = 2.50 L
Molarity = 0.48 M
Mass required = ?
Solution:
Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter
Number of moles = Molarity × volume in litter
Number of moles = 0.48 M × 2.50 L
Number of moles = 1.2 mol
Mass of HI:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Mass = Number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 1.2 mol × 127.9 g/mol
Mass = 153.48 g
Answer:
<span>Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron.
Explanation:
Reaction is as follow,
</span><span> Cl</span>₂<span> (aq) + 2 Br</span>⁻<span> (aq) </span>→ <span> 2Cl(aq) + Br</span>₂ <span>(aq)
Oxidation Reaction:
2 Br</span>⁻ → Br₂ + 2 e⁻
Two atoms of Br⁻ (Bromide) looses two electrons to form Br₂ molecule. Hence it is oxidized and is acting as reducing agent.
Reduction Reaction:
Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻
One molecule of Cl₂ gains two electrons to form two chloride ions (Cl⁻). Therefore, it is reduced and has oxidized Br⁻, Hence, acting as a oxidizing agent.
