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

Chemistry
1 answer:
AlexFokin [52]4 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.

Identify the limiting reactant when 1.22 g of O2 reacts with 1.05 g H2 to produce water.
kupik [55]
The reaction between oxygen, O2, and hydrogen, H2, to produce water can be expressed as,

                    2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

The masses of each of the reactants are calculated below.

          2H2 = 4(1.01 g) = 4.04 g
          O2 = 2(16 g) = 32 g

Given 1.22 grams of oxygen, we determine the mass of hydrogen needed.
        (1.22 g O2)(4.04 g H2 / 32 g O2) = 0.154 g of O2

Since there are 1.05 grams of O2 then, the limiting reactant is 1.22 grams of oxygen.


<em>Answer: 1.22 g of oxygen</em>

Based on the shapes of the water drops in part D, how does the attractive force between water and wax compare to the attractive
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Because the cohesive forces inside the droplets are stronger than the adhesive forces between both the drops and the wax, water does not penetrate waxed surfaces. Because the adhesive forces between the liquid and the glass are stronger than the cohesive forces inside the water, water wets glass and spreads out across it.

Which of the following statements are true regarding the dissociation of Al(NO3)3? Select more than one
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

There will be one Al3+ ion.

There will be 3 NO3- ions

Explanation:

Dissociation equation:

Al(NO₃)₃   →  Al³⁺ + 3NO₃¹⁻

When aluminium nitrate dissociate it produces one silver ion (Al³⁺) and three (NO₃¹⁻) ions.

Properties of Al(NO₃)₃:

It is inorganic compound having molecular mass 169.87 g/mol.

It is white odor less compound.

Its density is 4.35 g/mL.

Its melting and boiling points are 120°C and 440°C.

It is soluble in water.

It is sued to treat infections.

It is used in the photographic films.

It s toxic and must be handled with great care.
