In the reaction of chlorine with calcium, explain which atom is oxidized.

Chemistry
1 answer:
romanna [79]2 years ago

Answer:

The atom is oxidized is Ca.

Explanation:

  • The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).
  • The oxidation process is the process in which electrons are lost and produce positively charged ions.
  • The reduction process is the process in which electrons is gained and negatively charge ions are produced.

  • In the reaction of chlorine with calcium:

<em>Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂,</em>

Ca loses 2 electrons and is oxidized to Ca²⁺. (Ca <em>→</em> Ca²⁺ + 2e).

Cl is gains 2 electrons in "Cl₂, oxidation state zero" and is reduced to Cl⁻. (Cl₂ + 2e <em>→</em> 2Cl⁻).

How many formula units are in 25.4 g of MgCl2?
stiv31 [10]

Answer: 1.58 x 10^{23}

Explanation:

1 mole of magnesium chloride has a mass of 95.211 g and contains 6.022⋅10^{23}formula units of magnesium chloride, you can say that,

25.0 g x (6.022 x 10^{23} form units MgCl2) /95.211 = 1.58 x 10^{23}

What happens in this reaction and why? <br><br> hept-3-yne + Br2 --&gt;
maw [93]

Here we have to explain and predict the product of the reaction between hept-3-yne and bromine (Br₂)

The reaction between hept-3-yne and bromine produces <em>trans</em>-3,4-dibromo-3-heptene.

The reaction between the unsaturated hydrocarbon with halogen remove the unsaturation in the molecule and produces di halo compound. The reaction proceed through the formation of bromonium ion.

In this reaction as the unsaturation present in the middle of the alkyl chain i.e. hept-3-yne. The reaction will stop after the formation of di-halo compound with one double bond as shown in the figure.

The product will be exclusively trans product as the bromine is a bulky group and the formation of bromonium ion (intermediate) will be one side of the unsaturated compound.
