Answer is: D. is oxidized.

Reducing agent is an element  or compound that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and they have been oxidized.

For example, chemical equation: Ca + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂.

Oxidation reaction: Ca⁰ → Ca⁺² + 2e⁻ /×3.

3Ca⁰ → 3Ca⁺² + 6e⁻

Reduction reaction: 6e⁻ + 2H₃⁺¹ → 3H₂⁰.

Balanced chemical equation: 3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂.

Calcium is stronger reducing agent than hydrogen, gives electrons easier.

Calcium is oxidized, it changes oxidation number from 0 to +2.

The acid HOCl (hypochlorous acid) is produced by bubbling chlorine gas through a suspension of solid mercury(II) oxide particles
sergejj [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The expression for equilibrium constant is K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_{eq}

For the general chemical equation:

aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD

The expression for K_c is given as:

K_c=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

For the given chemical reaction:

2HgO(s)+H_2O(l)+2Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2HOCl(aq.)+HgO.HgCl_2(s)

The expression for K_{eq} is given as:

K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2[HgO.HgCl_2]}{[HgO]^2[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}

The concentration of solid is taken to be 0.

So, the expression for K_{eq} is given as:

K_{eq}=\frac{[HOCl]^2}{[H_2O][Cl_2]^2}

Ethylenediamine (en) forms an octahedral complex with Ni2+(aq) with the formula [Ni(en)3]2+. Ni2+(aq) + 3 en ⇌ [Ni(en)3]2+(aq) K
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L is the concentration of Ni^{2+}(aq) in the solution.

Explanation:

Ni^{2+}(aq) + 3 en\rightleftharpoons [Ni(en)_3]^{2+}(aq)

Concentration of nickel ion = [Ni^{2+}]=x

Concentration of nickel complex= [[Ni(en)_3]^{2+}]=\frac{0.16 mol}{2 L}=0.08 mol/L

Concentration of ethylenediamine = [en]=\frac{0.80 mol}{2 L}=0.40 mol/L

The formation constant of the complex = K_f=4.0\times 10^{18}

The expression of formation constant is given as:

K_f=\frac{[[Ni(en)_3]^{2+}]}{[Ni^{2+}][en]^3}

4.0\times 10^{18}=\frac{0.08 mol/L}{x\times (0.40 mol/L)^3}

x=\frac{0.08 mol/L}{4.0\times 10^{18}\times (0.40 mol/L)^3}

x=3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L

3.125\times 10^{-19} mol/L is the concentration of Ni^{2+}(aq) in the solution.
