Answer: zinc is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

1) Reducing agent is the agent that releases electrons, is oxidized (its oxidation number increases)   and causes the reduction of the other agent (the reduced spices reduces its oxidation state).

2) Chemical equation:

Zn(s) + HCl (aq) → H2(g) + ZnCl2(s)

3) determine the oxidation states of each spices

Zn (s): oxidation state = 0
Zn in ZnCls: oxidation state = + 2.

Therfore Zn was oxidized and is the reducing agen.

H in HCl: oxidtation state = +1

H in H2: oxidation state = 0

Therefore H2 was reduced (it is the oxidizing agent).

What volume of propane (C3H8) is required to produce 165 liters of water according to the following reaction? (All gases are at
inna [77]

Answer:

We need 41.2 L of propane

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

volume of H2O = 165 L

Step 2:  The balanced equation

C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles of H2O

1 mol = 22.4 L

165 L = 7.37 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of propane

For 1 mol C3H8 we need 5 moles O2 to produce 3 moles CO2 and 4 moles H2O

For 7.37 moles H2O we need 7.37/4 = 1.84 moles propane

Step 5: Calculate volume of propane

1 mol = 22.4 L

1.84 moles = 41.2 L

We need 41.2 L of propane
