Answer:
NO2- is the reducing agent.
Cr2O7_2- is the oxidizing agent.
H+ is neither
Explanation:
Reduction is the gain in electron. A chemical specie that undergoes reduction is called the oxidizing agent.
Oxidation is simply the loss in electrons. A chemical specie that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent.
Let us look at the species.
The first specie is the NO2-. In this specie, the oxidation number of nitrogen changed from +3 to +5 in NO3-. Thus we can see that there is more loss of electron to have caused an increase in the oxidation number positively. This shows an oxidation. Hence, NO2- is the reducing agent.
Let us look at the chromium. We can see that the oxidation number of chromium changed from +7 to +3.
Now we can see that it is a decrease and hence, it is a gain of electron and thus it is reduction. This means the first chromium specie is the oxidizing agent.
The hydrogen ion is simply placed there to balance the ions and hence it is neither the oxidizing nor the reducing agent.
Answer:
11.3 g.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the combustion of butane is:
Thus, since there is a 1:5 mole ratio between butane and water, we obtain the following mass of water:
Therefore, the resulting mass of water is:
Best regards!
The amount ( in moles of excess reactant that is left is 0.206 moles
Explanation
FeS(s) + 2HCl (aq) → FeCl2 (s) + H2S (g)
- by use of mole ratio of FeS: HCl which is 1:2 this means that 0.223 mole of FeS reacted completely with 0.223 x 2/1 =0.446 moles 0f FeCl2.
- HCl was in excess because 0.446 moles of HCl reacted and initially there was 0.652 moles.
- Therefore the amount that was left
= 0.652- 0.446 =0.206 moles
Answer:
carbon-12 is not radioactive
Explanation:
The measurement of the age of dead carbon based life forms requires the use of a radioactive isotope hence it is often referred to as radiocarbon dating.
Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 occur together in living things.The half life of Carbon-14 is about 5670 years.
Hence, since Carbon-12 is not radioactive, it can not be used to measure the age of dead carbon based materials.
