What happens when a metal is reduced. Give an example of a metal being reduced

Chemistry
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The oxidation number of the metal decreases

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

The metal element iron, is reduced from Fe⁺³ in Fe₂O₃ to Fe⁺² in FeO

Explanation:

When an element gains electron, the element becomes reduced, hence when a metal is reduced, the metal gains electrons, which reduces the oxidation number of the metal

An example of a metal being reduced is;

2 Al  + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO

In the above reaction, the iron (III) oxide is reduced to iron (II) oxide by aluminium metal.

If 21.00 mL of a 0.68 M solution of C6H5NH2 required 6.60 mL of the strong acid to completely neutralize the solution, what was
Andru [333]

Answer:

pH = 2.46

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since this neutralization reaction may be assumed to occur in a 1:1 mole ratio between the base and the strong acid, it is possible to write the following moles and volume-concentrations relationship for the equivalence point:

n_{acid}=n_{base}=n_{salt}

Whereas the moles of the salt are computed as shown below:

n_{salt}=0.021L*0.68mol/L=0.01428mol

So we can divide those moles by the total volume (0.021L+0.0066L=0.0276L) to obtain the concentration of the final salt:

[salt]=0.01428mol/0.0276L=0.517M

Now, we need to keep in mind that this is an acidic salt since the base is weak and the acid strong, so the determinant ionization is:

C_6H_5NH_3^++H_2O\rightleftharpoons  C_6H_5NH_2+H_3O^+

Whose equilibrium expression is:

Ka=\frac{[C_6H_5NH_2][H_3O^+]}{C_6H_5NH_3^+}

Now, since the Kb of C6H5NH2 is 4.3 x 10^-10, its Ka is 2.326x10^-5 (Kw/Kb), we can also write:

2.326x10^{-5}=\frac{x^2}{0.517M}

Whereas x is:

x=\sqrt{0.517*2.326x10^{-5}}\\\\x=3.47x10^-3

Which also equals the concentration of hydrogen ions; therefore, the pH at the equivalence point is:

pH=-log(3.47x10^{-3})\\\\pH=2.46

Regards!

What is the oxidizing agent in the following equation? Al (s) + 3 Ag+ (aq) produces Al^+3 (aq) + 3 Ag (s)
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Ag is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

oxidizing agent in the following equation?

Al (s) + 3 Ag+ (aq) = Al+3 (aq) + 3 Ag (s)

Left side

Al = 1

Ag = 3

Right Side

Al = 1

Ag = 3

So it's balanced already good.

Define

oxidizing agent = An oxidizing agent is the substance that gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction.

Al is the reducing agent.

Ag is the oxidizing agent
