Answer: check for a change in total mass during a reaction.

According to the law of conservation of mass during a chemical change the total mass of the products remains equal to the total mass of the reactants: there is not change in the total mass.

During nuclear reactions the mass can change due to the huge release of energy which proceeds from mass change, as per the famous equation ΔE =Δm. c^2.

Molarity of 2%W/V of NaOH is
TiliK225 [7]
Assume it is 1 litre and weighs 1kg.
2 percent of 1 kg is 20g.
20g divided by molar mass of NaOH.
20g divide by 40 = 0.5 mole
0.5 mole in a litre would be 0.5M
That is the answer: 0.5M

What is the oxidizing agent in the reaction 2MnO4-(aq) 10I-(aq) 16H (aq) ---> 2Mn2 (aq) 5I2(aq) 8H2O(l)
faltersainse [42]

Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.

2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.

oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.

MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because

On the reactants side

Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7

Oxidation number of Cl- is -1

On the products side

Oxidation number of Mn is +2

While oxidation number of Cl is zero

Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2
