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.

Which of the following violates the Aufbau principle?
kondor19780726 [428]

E and B

Explanation:

The last option violates Aufbau's principle.

Aufbau's principle states that "the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies."

This implies that orbitals are not filled based on numerical order but on their energy levels.

The order is as follows;

   1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d  e.t.c

In B, the 3s was not filled before jumping to 3p

In E, 3p was not filled before jumping to 3d and 3d was not even the next orbital.

Given a certain quantity of reactant, you calculate that a particular
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Percent yield =  114.5%

Explanation:

Given data:

Calculated amount of product/ theoretical yield = 55 g

Actual amount of product after performing reaction = 63 g

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percent yield = ( actual yield / theoretical yield )× 100

by putting values,

Percent yield = (63 g/ 55 g)× 100

Percent yield =  114.5%

Signs of a chemical change
dezoksy [38]

Answer: There are five signs of chemical change

  • Color Change
  • Production of an odor
  • Change of Temperature
  • Evolution of Gas (bubbles start to form)
  • Precipitate (starts to form a solid)

When these signs start to form you know chemical change is at work.

Hope this helps :)

A piece of metal with a mass of 611 g is placed into a graduated cylinder that contains 25.1 ml of water, raising the water leve
jeka94

Mass of metal piece is 611 g and volume of graduated cylinder is 25.1 mL. When metal piece is placed in the graduated cylinder water level increases to 56.7 mL. The increase in volume is due to volume of metal piece that gets added to the volume of water.

Thus, volume of metal piece can be calculated by subtracting initial volume from the final one.

V_{metal}=V_{final}-V_{initial}=(56.7-25.1)mL=31.6 mL

Thus, volume of metal piece will be 31.6 mL. The mass of metal piece is given 611 g, density of metal can be calculated as follows:

d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{611 g}{31.6 mL}=19.33 g/mL

Therefore, density of metal is 19.33 g/mL.
