Answer:
Mg
Explanation:
Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu
Magnesium is oxidized because its oxidation state increased from 0 to +2 while Cu is reduced because its oxidation state decreased from +2 to 0.
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
<em>Consider the following reactions.
</em>
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O
The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
Answer:
Zirconium
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass number = 92
No of neutrons = 52
Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. We can find the number of protons.
92 = 52 + P
P = 40
Atomic number is equal to the number of protons. It means that the atomic no of the element is 40. The element is Zirconium whose atomic number is 40 and mass number is 92.
Answer:
AgNO3
Explanation:
Silver nitrate (AgNO3) is an inorganic compound. Organic compounds usually have 1+ C.
