In the reaction 2H2O (l) + 2Cl– (aq) → H2 (g) + Cl2 (g) + 2OH– (aq), which substance is oxidized?
pashok25 [27]

F. None of the above [Cl^(-) is oxidized]

<em>No Cl atoms are available</em> to be oxidized, only Cl^(-)ions

2Cl^(-) → Cl_2 + 2e^(-)

The substance that <em>loses electrons</em> is oxidized.

Remember <em>OIL</em> RIG (<em>O</em>xidation<em> I</em>s <em>L</em>oss of electrons) and

<em>LEO</em> the lion says GER (<em>L</em>oss of Electrons is <em>O</em>xidation).

The volume of solution in a test tube is measured to be 0.0067 liter. Which digits in the measurement are significant figures?
puteri [66]

<u>Given data:</u>

Volume of solution measured = 0.0067 L

<u>To determine:</u>

The number of significant figures

<u>Explanation:</u>

Significant figures are the number of digits that accurately describe a measured value.

As per the rules:

All non-zero digits are significant

Leading zero's i.e. the zero's after a decimal which comes before a non-zero digit are not significant

Hence in the given value 0.0067, there are 2 significant figures (6 &7)
