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.

A student is planning an investigation of an acid-base reaction. Which of the following is not an accepted method of monitoring
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Conductivity meter

Explanation:

A conductivity meter is normally used to measure the amount of electrical current or conductance in a solution. Conductivity is most useful in determining the overall health of a natural water body.

A pH paper is used to determine the pH of a solution. This is done by dipping part of the paper into a solution of interest and watching the color change. The pH paper comes in a color-coded scale indicating the pH that something has when the paper turns a certain color.

An indicator is an organic compound that changes its colour depending on the pH of the solution.

Since neutralization reaction can only be monitored by monitoring the pH of the solution, a conductivity meter cannot be used to monitor the progress of a neutralization reaction since it does not monitor the change in pH of the system under study.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

32 g Cu

Explanation:

1 mol Cu    -> 63.5 g

0.5 mol Cu ->x

x=(0.5 mol *63.5 g)/1 mol      x= 32 g Cu

A balloon filled with 1.22 L of gas at 286 K is heated until the
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: 670K

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas V1 = 1.22 L

Original temperature T1 = 286 K

New volume V2 = 2.86 L

New temperature T2 = ?

Since volume and temperature are involved while pressure is constant, apply the formula for Charles law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

1.22 L/286 K = 2.86 L/ T2

Cross multiply

1.22 L x T2 = 286 K x 2.86 L

1.22T2 = 817.96

Divide both sides by 1.22

1.22T2/1.22 = 817.96/1.22

T2 = 670.459 K (Round to the nearest whole number as 670 K)

Thus, the temperature of the gas is 670 Kelvin

A sample has a pH of -0.248 (yes, it really is possible to have a negative pH). Find
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

pOH= 14.248

[H+]=1.77 M

[OH-]=5.65 x10^-15M

Explanation:

pH+pOH= 14

pOH= 14-pH

pOH=14-(-0.248)

pOH= 14.248

[H+]=10^-pH= 10^-(-0.248)=1.77 M

[OH-]=10^-pOH= 10^-14.248=5.65 x10^-15M
