Answer:

a. 3 Br₂(l) + 6 OH⁻(aq) → 5 Br⁻(aq) + BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3 H₂O

b. Br₂

c. Br₂

Explanation:

In order to balance a redox reaction, we use the ion-electron method.

Step 1: Identify both half-reactions.

Reduction: Br₂(l) → Br⁻(aq)

Oxidation: Br₂(l) → BrO₃⁻(aq)

Step 2: Perform the mass balance. This reaction takes place in basic medium, so we have to add OH⁻ and H₂O where appropriate.

0.5 Br₂(l) → Br⁻(aq)

6 OH⁻(aq) + 0.5 Br₂(l) → BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3 H₂O

Step 3: Perform the electrical balance adding electrons where appropriate.

1 e⁻ + 0.5 Br₂(l) → Br⁻(aq)

6 OH⁻(aq) + 0.5 Br₂(l) → BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3 H₂O + 5 e⁻

Step 4: Multiply both half-reactions by numbers that assure that the number of electrons gained and lost are the same.

5 × (1 e⁻ + 0.5 Br₂(l) → Br⁻(aq))

1 × (6 OH⁻(aq) + 0.5 Br₂(l) → BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3 H₂O + 5 e⁻)

Step 5: Add both half-reactions and simplify when appropriate.

5 e⁻ + 3 Br₂(l) + 6 OH⁻(aq) → 5 Br⁻(aq) + BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3 H₂O + 5 e⁻

3 Br₂(l) + 6 OH⁻(aq) → 5 Br⁻(aq) + BrO₃⁻(aq) + 3 H₂O

The species that is reduced is the oxidizing agent. Ther species that is oxidized is the reducing agent. In this case, Br₂ is both.

Answer:

the oxidizing agent is Br_{2} and the reducing agent is  Br_{2}

Explanation:

Generally, the reduction-oxidation reactions involve the transfer of electrons from one compound to another.  In the reduction reaction, there is a reduction in the oxidation number while in the oxidation reaction, there is an increase in the oxidation number.  Reducing agent loses electrons and its oxidation number increases while the oxidizing agent gains electrons and its oxidation number decreases.

The unbalanced chemical reaction is:

Br_{2(l)} → BrO^{-} _{3(aq)} + Br_{(aq)} ^{-}

For the oxidation reaction:

Br_{2} + 6H_{2}O → 2BrO^{-} _{3(aq)} + 12H^{+} + 10e^{-}

For the reduction reaction:

Br_{2(l)}  + 2e^{-} → 2Br^{-}

The next step is to make the number of electrons gained equal to the number of electrons lost:

Br_{2} + 6H_{2}O → 2BrO^{-} _{3(aq)} + 12H^{+} + 10e^{-}

5Br_{2(l)}  + 10e^{-} → 10Br^{-}

Then we add up the two equations:

3Br_{2(aq)}+3H_{2}O_{(l)}⇌  2BrO^{-} _{3(aq)} +5Br_{2(l)} +6H_{(aq)} ^{+}

Therefore, the oxidizing agent is Br_{2} and the reducing agent is  Br_{2}

Why are all molecules not compounds?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Explanation:

All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds. That is because a molecule can be made up of two atoms of the same kind, as when two oxygen atoms bind together to make an oxygen molecule. However, all compounds are made up of two or more different types of atoms.

What is a substance's melting point?
TEA [102]

A melting point of a substance is a point at which the sample or substance start converting in liquid. For most substances, melting and freezing points are approximately equal. For example, the melting point and freezing point of mercury is 234.32 kelvins (−38.83 °C or −37.89 °F). Hope this helped!! :)

Loss of a beta particle
zlopas [31]
When a beta particle<span> is emitted from the nucleus the nucleus has one more proton and one less neutron. This means the atomic mass number remains unchanged and the atomic number increases by 1.
We can also say that </span>beta decay<span> is a type of radioactive </span>decay<span> in which a proton is transformed into a neutron inside an atomic nucleus.

</span><span>a) converts a neutron into a proton</span>

A system gains 652 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to +241 kJ. How much work is done?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

-411 kj

Explanation:

We solve by using this formula

∆U = ∆Q + ∆W

This formula is the first law of thermodynamics

Change in internal energy U = +241

Heat gained by system Q = 652

Putting the value into the equation

+241 = 652 + W

Workdone = 241 - 652

Workdone = -411 kj

Since work done is negative it means that work was done by the system
