The periodic law is a law relating the properties of the element with their
atomic numbers.
The element is <u>potassium, K</u>.
Reason:
By atomic mass, potassium is 39.10 g, while argon is 39.10 g.
Going by the atomic mass alone, potassium should come before argon in
the periodic table and therefore should be an halogen and not an alkali
metal.
However, the number of protons in the potassium is 19, and therefore larger
than the number of protons in argon, which is argon.
Therefore, the element is <u>potassium, K</u>.

Answer:
In the given chemical reaction:
Species Oxidized: I⁻
Species Reduced: Fe³⁺
Oxidizing agent: Fe³⁺
Reducing agent: I⁻
As the reaction proceeds, electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺
Explanation:
Redox reaction is a chemical reaction involving the simultaneous movement of electrons thereby causing oxidation of one species and reduction of the other species.
The chemical species that <u><em>gets reduced by gaining electrons </em></u><u>is called an </u><u><em>oxidizing agent</em></u>. Whereas, the chemical species that <u><em>gets oxidized by losing electrons </em></u><u>is called a </u><u><em>reducing agent</em></u><u>.</u>
Given redox reaction: 2Fe³⁺ + 2I⁻ → 2Fe²⁺ + I₂
<u>Oxidation half-reaction</u>: 2 I⁻ + → I₂ + 2 e⁻ ....(1)
<u>Reduction half-reaction</u>: [ Fe³⁺ + 1 e⁻ → Fe²⁺ ] × 2
⇒ 2 Fe³⁺ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺ ....(2)
In the given redox reaction, <u>Fe³⁺ (oxidation state +3) accepts electrons and gets reduced to Fe²⁺ (oxidation state +2) and I⁻ (oxidation state -1) loses electrons and gets oxidized to I₂ (oxidation state 0).</u>
<u>Therefore, Fe³⁺ is the oxidizing agent and I⁻ is the reducing agent and the electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺.</u>
Answer:
3M
Explanation:
Molarity is one of the measures of the molar concentration of a solution, which can be calculated by using the formula below:
Molarity = number of moles ÷ volume
From the information given in this question, 4 liters of a solution contains 12 moles of sugar. This means that n = 12mol and V = 4L
Molarity = n/V
Molarity = 12/4
Molarity = 3
Hence, the molarity of the sugar solution is 3mol/L or 3M
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.
