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⁻).

What is the concentration of a solution in which 10.0 g of AgNO, is dissolved in 450 mL of solution?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

M=0.15

Explanation:

138 g AgNO -> 1 mol AgNO

10 g AgNO   -> x

x= (10 g AgNO * 1 mol AgNO)/138 g        x=0.07 mol AgNO

450 mL=0.45 L

M= mol solute/L solution

M= 0.07 mol AgNO/0.45L

M=0.15
