Which best describes the oxidizing agent in this reaction? Cl2(aq) + 2Br(aq) 2Cl(aq) + Br2(aq) Bromine (Br) is the oxidizing age

nt because it gains an electron. Bromine (Br) is the oxidizing agent because it loses an electron. Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron. Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it loses an electron

Answer:
            <span>Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron.

Explanation:
                   Reaction is as follow,

</span><span>                     Cl</span>₂<span> (aq)  +  2 Br</span>⁻<span> (aq)    </span>→   <span> 2Cl(aq)  +  Br</span>₂ <span>(aq)

Oxidation Reaction:

                                    2 Br</span>⁻     →     Br₂  +  2 e⁻

Two atoms of Br⁻ (Bromide) looses two electrons to form Br₂ molecule. Hence it is oxidized and is acting as reducing agent.

Reduction Reaction:

                                   Cl₂  +  2 e⁻    →     2 Cl⁻

One molecule of Cl₂ gains two electrons to form two chloride ions (Cl⁻). Therefore, it is reduced and has oxidized Br⁻, Hence, acting as a oxidizing agent.

If you had 15 moles of Oxygen (O2), how many moles of water (H2O) would you be able to make?
larisa [96]

Answer:

30 moles of water will produced.

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of O₂ react = 15 mol

Number of moles of water formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂      →     2H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen.

                  O₂           :          H₂O

                   1             :            2

                   15           :           2×15 = 30 mol

30 moles of water will produced.
