Identify which one is the reducing agent in this reaction

Chemistry
1 answer:
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Na.

Explanation:

  • The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).
  • 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 reduced.
  • A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is an element (such as calcium) or compound that loses (or "donates") an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction.

  • For the reaction:

<em>2Na + S → Na₂S.</em>

<em></em>

Na is oxidized to Na⁺ in (Na₂S) (loses 1 electron). "reducing agent".

S is reduced to S²⁻ in (Na₂S) (gains 2 electrons). "oxidizing agent".

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The emission spectrum of an atom consists of limited lines that are unique to a given element.

According to the Bohr model of the atom, energy is absorbed or emitted when an atom moves from one energy level to another. Since energy is quantized, the spectrum of atoms often consists of single lines.

Hence, the true statement about atomic spectrum is that; "the light that an element emits is made up of a limited number of narrow lines that produce a unique pattern or atomic emissions spectrum for that element."

The thikness of an eye lash is 15 mm how much this will be in meters ? write it in scientific Notation.
deff fn [24]

Answer

1.5x10^-3 m

24.91x10^5

Explanation:

15 millimeters

- 1 mm = .0015

exponent indicates which way the decimal moved and to how many places

we moved the decimal backwards (negative) 3 spaces

2491 km= 2491000 m

exponent indicates which way the decimal moved and to how many places

we moved the decimal forwards (positive) 5 spaces

2491000.00 --> 24.91000

The density of copper is 8.92 grams per milliliter. What volume of water will 40.0 grams of copper displace?
Klio2033 [76]

Density:

The density of a substance is equal to the ratio of its mass and volume. In general we can say the density of a substance is mass per unit volume.

Density = mass in g / volume in cubic cm or ml

Given that  

Density = 8.92 g/ ml

Mass = 40.0 g

Therefore,  

Volume = mass/ density  

= 40.0 g/  8.92  g/ ml

= 4.48 ml  

Thus the correct answer is 4.48  ml
