In the reaction Sn(s) + 2H+(aq) → Sn2+ (aq) + H2(g)
from this reaction, we get that Sn loses from 0 to 2 electrons so it's oxidized So it is the reducing agent.
and H  gains from 0 to 1 electrons so, it's reduced so ∴ it is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

An oxidizing agent is defined as a substance which readily accepts an electron and itself gets reduced in order to oxidize another substance in a chemical reaction.

For example, 2H^{+} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow H_{2}

Here, hydrogen is getting reduced as its oxidation state is changing from +1 to 0 and hence it acts like an oxidizing agent.  

In an oxidizing agent, a decrease in oxidation state occurs.

Whereas in Sn \rightarrow Sn^{2+} + 2e^{-}, tin is getting oxidized by gaining electrons. Therefore, it is acting as a reducing agent. An increase in oxidation state occurs for a reducing agent.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given reaction hydrogen is the oxidizing agent.

1. The solubility of lead(II) chloride at some high temperature is 3.1 x 10-2 M. Find the Ksp of PbCl2 at this temperature.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

1) The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride is 1.2\times 10^{-4}.

2) The solubility of the aluminium hydroxide is 1.6\times 10^{-10} M.

3)The given statement is false.

Explanation:

1)

Solubility of lead chloride = S=3.1\times 10^-2M

PbCl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)

                            S     2S

The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride = K_{sp}

K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][Cl^-]^2

K_{sp}=S\times (2S)^2=4S^3=4\times (3.1\times 10^{-2})^3=1.2\times 10^{-4}

The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride is 1.2\times 10^{-4}.

2)

Concentration of aluminium nitrate = 0.000010 M

Concentration of aluminum ion =1\timed 0.000010 M=0.000010 M

Solubility of aluminium hydroxide in aluminum nitrate solution = S

Al(OH)_3(aq)\rightleftharpoons Al^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)

                            S     3S

The solubility product of the aluminium nitrate = K_{sp}=1.0\times 10^{-33}

K_{sp}=[Al^{3+}][OH^-]^3

1.0\times 10^{-33}=(0.000010+S)\times (3S)^3

S=1.6\times 10^{-10} M

The solubility of the aluminium hydroxide is 1.6\times 10^{-10} M.

3.

Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume (L)}

Mass of NaCl= 3.5 mg = 0.0035 g

1 mg = 0.001 g

Moles of NaCl = \frac{0.0035 g}{58.5 g/mol}=6.0\times 10^{-5} mol

Volume of the solution = 0.250 L

[NaCl]=\frac{6.0\times 10^{-5} mol}{0.250 L}=0.00024 M

1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of sodium ion and 1 mole of chloride ions.

[Cl^-]=[NaCl]=0.00024 M

Moles of lead (II) nitrate = n

Volume of the solution = 0.250 L

Molarity lead(II) nitrate = 0.12 M

n=0.12 M]\times 0.250 L=0.030 mol

1 mole of lead nitrate gives 1 mole of lead (II) ion and 2 moles of nitrate ions.

[Pb^{2+}]=[Pb(NO_2)_3]=0.030 M

PbCl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)

Solubility of lead(II) chloride = K_{sp}=1.2\times 10^{-4}

Ionic product of the lead chloride in solution :

Q_i=[Pb^{2+}][Cl^-]^2=0.030 M\times (0.00024 M)^2=1.7\times 10^{-9}

Q_i ( no precipitation)

The given statement is false.

This family (ethane, propane, butane, etc) of materials is likely to have what set of properties?
Ilya [14]

This family (ethane, propane, butane, etc) of materials is likely to have following set of properties.

  • The alkanes are non- polar solvents.
  • The alkanes are immiscible in water but freely miscible in other non-polar solvent .
  • The alkanes are consisting of weak dipole dipole bonds can not breaks the strong hydrogen bond.
  • The alkanes having only carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atom which is bonded by a single bonds only.
  • The alkanes posses weak force of attraction that is weak van der waals force of attraction.

The ethane, propane, butane, belong to alkanes family.The alkanes are also considers as saturated hudrocarbons. Ethane is found in gaseous stae Ethane is the second alkane followed by propane followed by butane.

Lewis structure for 2O2
Mrrafil [7]

the big number describes the number ratio in a chemical equation

so for example,

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O means

2 moles of hydrogen reacts with one mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of water

and as you know, the small (subscript) number determines the number of atoms of that element in one molecule of a compound

so I believe that drawing a normal lewis structure ( O=O ) should be correct
