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:

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

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

What is molarity of a solution containing 0.34 moles of FeCl3 in the 0.45 liters of water

Minchanka [31]

Hello!

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of a substance that can be found in 1 liter of solution. That is expressed mathematically as M=mol/L

For the FeCl₃ solution:

$M= \frac{mol FeCl_3}{L sol}= \frac{0,34 moles FeCl_3}{0,45 L}= 0,756 M$

So, the concentration of this solution is 0,756 M
