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}

In a chemical equation, changing the subscript in a chemical formula for a substance changes what aspect?
Citrus2011 [14]
The subscript in a chemical formula is the number written next to the element at the bottom part. For example, the chemical formula of water is H₂O. The subscript of H is 2, while the subscript of O is 1. The subscript represents the number of a certain element in one particle of the compound. So, if you change the subscript, you also change the number of a certain element per compound. In other words, you change the ratio.

Suppose we have two rock samples, A and B. If rock A was subject to both physical and chemical weathering while rock B was subje
hammer [34]

Answer:

Rock A because after physical weather and chemical weathering it more likely for Rock A to experience more chemical weathering.

Explanation: Weathering: This is a geological term used to describe the various processes and Activities involved in the breaking down of rocks either through physical,mechanical,chemical etc actions into smaller particles.

ROCK A WILL HAVE MORE CHEMICAL WEATHERING BECAUSE THE PHYSICAL WEATHERING MUST HAVE BROKEN DOWN THE PARTICLES FOR EASY WATER AND OTHER SUBSTANCE NEEDED FOR EASIER CHEMICAL REACTION OR WEATHERING.

How many chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion and why??
antiseptic1488 [7]
3 Chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion.

In ionic bonds, metals atoms loses all its outermost shell electrons to form a cation. While, non metal atoms gains however many electrons in order to make its outermost electron shell be 8 (or 2 if there's only one shell).

Therefore, form the periodic table, we can see that aluminum has a atomic number of 13, which makes its electron arrangement be 2,8,3. So, in order to form a aluminum ion, an Al atom must lose 3 electrons. On the other hand, Chlorine has a atomic number of 17, which means it has the electron configuration of 2,8,7. It has to gain only 1 electron to have 8 outermost shell electron.

Thereofre, 3 Chlorine atom are required to gain all 3 electrons given out by just 1 aluminum ion.
