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.

Consider the following reaction between mercury(II) chloride and oxalate ion.
Alina [70]

<u>Answer:</u> The rate law of the reaction is \text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2][C_2O_4^{2-}]^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

2 HgCl_2(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cl^-(aq.)+2CO_2(g)+Hg_2Cl_2(s)

Rate law expression for the reaction:

\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^a[C_2O_4^{2-}]^b

where,

a = order with respect to HgCl_2

b = order with respect to C_2O_4^{2-}

Expression for rate law for first observation:

3.2\times 10^{-5}=k(0.164)^a(0.15)^b  ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

2.9\times 10^{-4}=k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b  ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

1.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.082)^a(0.45)^b  ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

4.8\times 10^{-5}=k(0.246)^a(0.15)^b  ....(4)  

Dividing 2 from 1, we get:

\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{3.2\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.164)^a(0.15)^b}\\\\9=3^b\\b=2

Dividing 2 from 3, we get:

\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{1.4\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.082)^a(0.45)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1

Thus, the rate law becomes:

\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^1[C_2O_4^{2-}]^2

Relative formula mass of glucose? (C6H12O6)
Rom4ik [11]

To find the mass of glucose, you must multiply the atomic weight of each of the elements in the molecule by the subscripts in the formula:

C_{6}=6*(12.01g)=72.06g

H_{12}=12*(1.008g)=12.096g

O_{6}=6*(15.999g)=95.994g

Then you add all of them together:

72.06g+12.096g+95.994g=180.15g

Therefore, the molar weight of glucose is 180.15 grams.

Enter a balanced equation for the reaction between solid nickel(II)(II) oxide and carbon monoxide gas that produces solid nickel
velikii [3]

Answer: A balanced equation for the given reaction is NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g).

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g)

Number of atoms on the reactant side is as follows.

  • O = 2
  • C = 1

Number of atoms on the product side is as follows.

  • Ni = 1
  • O = 2
  • C = 1

Since number of atoms on both the reactant and product sides are equal. Hence, the reaction equation is balanced.

Thus, we can conclude that a balanced equation for the given reaction is NiO(s) + CO \rightarrow Ni(s) + CO_{2}(g).
