Answer:
Explanation:
Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu ( copper gets reduced )
Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ ( copper gets oxidized )
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.
Consider the following reactions.
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.
Answer: I think the right answer is c
Answer:
KBr is limiting reactant.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of KBr =4g
Mass of Cl₂ = 6 g
Limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2KBr + Cl₂ → 2KCl + Br₂
Number of moles of KBr:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 4 g/ 119 gmol
Number of moles = 0.03 mol
Number of moles of Cl₂:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 6 g/ 70 gmol
Number of moles = 0.09 mol
Now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.
KBr : KCl
2 : 2
0.03 : 0.03
KBr : Br₂
2 : 1
0.03 : 1/2×0.03= 0.015
Cl₂ : KCl
1 : 2
0.09 : 2/1×0.09 = 0.18
Cl₂ : Br₂
1 : 1
0.09 : 0.09
Less number of moles of product are formed by the KBr thus it will act as limiting reactant while Cl₂ is present in excess.
