What is called oxidizing agent and reducing agent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alika [10]4 years ago
4 0
An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reducedExamples of oxidizing agents include halogens, potassium nitrate, and nitric acid. A reducing agent, or reductant, loses electrons and is oxidized in a chemical reaction. A reducing agent is typically in one of its lower possible oxidation states, and is known as the electron donor.

Describe an experiment for the preparation and collection of Oxygen sodium peroxide​
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Making oxygen

Oxygen can be made from hydrogen peroxide, which decomposes slowly to form water and oxygen:

hydrogen peroxide → water + oxygen

2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)

The rate of reaction can be increased using a catalyst, manganese(IV) oxide. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are given off.

Apparatus arranged to measure the volume of gas in a reaction. Reaction mixture is in a flask and gas travels out through a pipe in the top and down into a trough of water. It then bubbles up through a beehive shelf into an upturned glass jar filled with water. The gas collects at the top of the jar, forcing water out into the trough below.

To make oxygen in the laboratory, hydrogen peroxide is poured into a conical flask containing some manganese(IV) oxide. The gas produced is collected in an upside-down gas jar filled with water. As the oxygen collects in the top of the gas jar, it pushes the water out.

Instead of the gas jar and water bath, a gas syringe could be used to collect the oxygen.

A balloon with volume of 2.0l is filled with gas at 3 atmosphere. If the pressure were reduced to 0.5 atmosphere without the cha
solong [7]
Answer: 12L

Explanation:

To find the correct volume of the balloon, we can use the mathematical representation of Boyle’s law which states that a gas’s volume is inversely proportional to its pressure (as one increases the other decreases).

The equation for it is P1 * V1 = P2 * V2 where P1 and V1 represent the initial pressure and volume of the gas and P2 and V2 represent its changed temperature and volume.

In this case, the initial pressure of the gas inside the balloon is 3atm while its initial volume is 2.0L. Its pressure is then reduced to 0.5atm.

If we apply this information to the equation for Boyle’s law, we get
2L * 3atm = 0.5atm * V2.

Through arithmetic, we find that
6 = 0.5atm * V2
6/0.5atm = V2
12L = V2.

So, the volume of the balloon is 12L.

Hope this helps!
