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.

2. A quantity of 1.922g of methanol (CH3OH) was burned in a constant-volume
Cerrena [4.2K]
Mass of methanol (CH3OH) = 1.922 g
Change in Temperature (t) = 4.20°C
Heat capacity of the bomb plus water = 10.4 KJ/oC
The heat absorbed by the bomb and water is equal to the product of the heat capacity and the temperature change.
Let’s assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings. First, let’s calculate the heat changes in the calorimeter. This is calculated using the formula shown below:
qcal = Ccalt
Where, qcal = heat of reaction
Ccal = heat capacity of calorimeter
t = change in temperature of the sample
Now, let’s calculate qcal:
qcal = (10.4 kJ/°C)(4.20°C)
= 43.68 kJ
Always qsys = qcal + qrxn = 0,
qrxn = -43.68 kJ
The heat change of the reaction is - 43.68 kJ which is the heat released by the combustion of 1.922 g of CH3OH. Therefore, the conversion factor is:

Drupady [299]

Explanation:

Answer: 12CO2(g) +12H2O(l)->C12H24O12(s)+12O2(g)

Once you make balancing equations don't disturb the given numbers because it is fix you need to solve by the side of the chemical name.

The rate law for the rearrangement of ch3nc to ch3cn at 800 k is rate = (1300 s-1)[ch3nc]. what is the half-life for this reacti
Lana71 [14]
The rate of reaction is always expressed in concentration per time like mol/L·s. The equation is:

r [mol/L·s] = kCⁿ, where n is the order of reaction. Since k is 1300/s, that means that Cⁿ = C such that (1/s)*(mol/L) = mol/L·s. Thus, n=1. For a first order reaction, the formula would be:

ln(A/A₀) = -kt
where
A is the amount of material after time t
A₀ is the amount of material at t=0

The half life is when A/A₀ = 1/2÷1 = 1/2. Thus, the half-life t is:

ln(1/2) = (-1300t)
t = 5.33×10⁻⁴ seconds
