Answer:

Explanation:

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu ( copper gets reduced )

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ( copper gets oxidized )

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

AURORKA [14]

a) Answer:

Number of molecules in 1 mole

Explanation:

a) Whether we take any of the substance among all three of the given substances they will have the same number of molecules in 1 mole of the substance is considered and the value for this will be $6.023 x 10^23$

b) Answer:

In the given question mass of the substance which is greatest is asked for one mole and we also know that mass of one mole is given by molar mass.

Explanation:

b) It is known that $31.98g/mol$ is the molar mass for oxygen which is greater than that of hydrogen while fluorine has a molar mass of $38.0 g/mol$ which on comparison shows that, it is the highest amongst all three.

An ideal gas sample is confined to 3.0 L and kept at 27 °C. If the temperature is raised to 77 °C and the initial pressure was 1

Nadusha1986 [10]

The gas is confined in 3.0 L container ( rigid container) ⇒ the volume remains constant when the temperature is increased from from 27oC to 77oC and therefore V1=V2 .

podryga [215]

Molar mass of water 18g/mol

Number of mols = 50.0g/18g/mol =2.78 mol

Heat absorbed = 40.7 kj/mol * 2.78 mol = 113.1 kj.

Be sure to answer all parts. For the complete redox reactions given here, write the half-reactions and identify the oxidizing an

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer : $O_2$ is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

Explanation :

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The balanced redox reaction is :

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction : $Fe\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3e^-$

Reduction reaction : $O_2+4e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}$

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 4 and reduction reaction by 3 then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation reaction : $4Fe\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+12e^-$

Reduction reaction : $3O_2+12e^-\rightarrow 6O^{2-}$

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

In this reaction, $'Fe'$ is the reducing agent that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets oxidized and $'O_2'$ is the oxidizing agent that gain an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets reduced.

Thus, $O_2$ is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.
