What is called oxidizing agent and reducing agent?

1 answer:

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.

What is the condition of water in the hydrosphere right now?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

A planet's hydrosphere can be liquid, vapor, or ice. On Earth, in the places at the north and south pole, water exists in ice or glacier form, in the atmosphere it exists in vapor form and liquid water exists on the surface in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers. It also exists below ground as groundwater, in wells and aquifers. Water collects in clouds, then falls to Earth in the form of rain or snow,

- Equilibrium shifts for slightly soluble compounds The reaction for the formation of a saturated solution of silver bromide (Ag

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

1) Favor formation of reactant

2) Favor formation of product

3) Favor formation of product

4) Favor formation of product

5) Favor formation of product

Explanation:

The reaction is $AgBr(s)--->Ag^{+}(aq)+Br^{-}(aq)$

The reaction is endothermic

1. Adding hydrobromic acid (HBr)

It will increase the amount of bromide ion. Bromide ion is one of the product so it will favor formation of reactant.

2. Lowering the concentration of bromide (Br-) ions

As we are decreasing the the concentration of product it will favor formation of more products

3. Heating the concentrations

If we are heating the mixture, it will increase the temperature and it will favor endothermic reaction. Thus will favor formation of product.

4. Adding solid silver bromide (AgBr)

If we are adding silver bromide it means we are increasing the concentration of reactant, it will favor formation of products

5. Removing silver (Ag+) ions

Removing silver ions means we are decreasing the concentration of product thus it will favor formation of products.

Vitamin C contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When a 1.00 g was combusted, 1.4991 g of CO2 and 0.4092 g of H2O were obta

Alina [70]

The empirical formula for this vitamin : C₃H₄O₃

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components

The principle of determining empirical formula

Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.
Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass

Mass of C in CO₂ :(MW C = 12 g/mol, CO₂=44 g/mol)

$\tt \dfrac{12}{44}\times 1.4991=0.409~g$

Mass of H in H₂O :(MW H = 1 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol)

$\tt \dfrac{2.1}{18}\times 0.4092=0.0455~g$

Mass O = Mass sample - (mass C + mass H) :

$\tt 1-(0.409+0.0455)=0.5455~g$

mol ratio C : H : O =

$\tt \dfrac{0.409}{12}\div \dfrac{0.0455}{1}\div \dfrac{0.5455}{16}\\\\0.0341\div 0.0455\div 0.0341\rightarrow 1\div 1.33\div 1=3\div 4\div 3$

How much volume would a 834.01g pile of sugar have given that it has a density of 1.59g/mL?

boyakko [2]

Answer:

v = 534.5mL

m = 597.15g

Density = 9.23g/mL

Density = 9.125g/mL

Explanation:

Density = mass/ volume

For the first question

Density = 1.59g/mL

Mass = 834.01g

Volume = ?

Using the above formula we have 1.59 = 834.01/v

v = 834.01/1.59

v = 534.5mL

For the second question

Density =0.9167g/mL

Volume = 651.41mL

Mass =?

Using the above formula we have

0.9167 =m/651.41

Cross multiply

m = 0.9167 x 651.41

m = 597.15g

For the third question

Mass =803.44g

Volume=87.03mL

Density =?

Density = 803.44/87.03

= 9.23g/mL

For the fourth

Density = 56.85/6.23

= 9.125g/mL

Why don't siblings look exactly alike

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Your genes play a big role in making you who you are. ... But brothers and sisters don't look exactly alike because everyone (including parents) actually has two copies of most of their genes. And these copies can be different. Parents pass one of their two copies of each of their genes to their kids.
