Which substance in this redox reaction is the oxidizing agent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zepelin [54]4 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidizing agent is the agent which oxidizes the other substance and itself gets reduced. It undergoes reduction reaction in which, it gains electrons and also the oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Reducing agent is the agent which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. It undergoes oxidation reaction in which, it looses electrons and the oxidation state of the substance is increased.

For the given chemical equation:

Cu+2AgNO_3\rightarrow 2Ag+Cu(NO_3)_2

Half reactions for the given chemical reaction:

Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-

Copper is loosing 2 electrons, thus it is undergoing oxidation reaction and is considered as a reducing agent.

Ag^++e^-\rightarrow Ag

Silver ion is gaining 1 electron per atom, thus it is undergoing reduction reaction and is considered as an oxidizing agent.

Hence, AgNO_3 is considered as an oxidizing agent and therefore the correct answer is Option B.

Calculate the mass of forsterite that contains a million oxygen atoms. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol if necessary, and r
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

2.33×10¯¹⁶ g of forsterite

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms. This equally means that 1 mole of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

1 mole of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) = (24×2) + 28 + (16×4)

= 48 + 28 + 64

= 140 g

Finally, we shall determine the mass of forsterite that contains a million oxygen atoms.

140 g of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, Xg of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) will contain 1×10⁶ atoms of oxygen i.e

Xg of forsterite (Mg2SiO4) =

(140 × 1×10⁶) /6.02×10²³

= 2.33×10¯¹⁶ g

Therefore, 2.33×10¯¹⁶ g of forsterite contains a million oxygen atoms..

Given the equilibrium constants for the following two reactions in aqueous solution at 25 ∘C HNO2(aq)H2SO3(aq)⇌⇌H+(aq) + NO2−(aq
krok68 [10]

Answer : The value of K_c for the final reaction is, 184.09

Explanation :

The equilibrium reactions in aqueous solution are :

(1) HNO_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+NO_2^-(aq)         K_{c_1}=4.5\times 10^{-4}

(2) H_2SO_3(aq)\rightleftharpoons 2H^+(aq)+SO_3^{2-}(aq)         K_{c_2}=1.1\times 10^{-9}

The final equilibrium reaction is :

2HNO_2(aq)+SO_3^{2-}(aq)\rightleftharpoons H_2SO_3(aq)+2NO_2^-(aq)         K_{c}=?

Now we have to calculate the value of K_c for the final reaction.

Now equation 1 is multiply by 2 and reverse the equation 2, we get the value of final equilibrium reaction and the expression of final equilibrium constant is:

K_c=\frac{(K_{c_1})^2}{K_{c_2}}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

K_c=\frac{(4.5\times 10^{-4})^2}{1.1\times 10^{-9}}=184.09

Therefore, the value of K_c for the final reaction is, 184.09

________ is defined as the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. ________ is defined as the number of protons plus the
velikii [3]

Answer:

Mass number is defined as the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.

Explanation:

Every atom of an element have proton(s), neutron(s) and electron(s). The proton number of an element is the atomic number of that element. For an electronically neutral atom the proton number is equal to the electron numbers. The neutron and the proton contributes to the mass of every atom. The electron is more active when atoms are bonding.

Mass number of an element is the number of proton plus the number of neutron.  

Atomic number of an atom is the number of proton present, so it can never be atomic number.

Isotopy talks about same element having different number of neutron but same number of protons in each atom.  Example is hydrogen that exist as protium, deuterium and tritium. It cannot be isotopic number.

Ionic number talks about elements that possess a charge. The elements have been ionized.

The answer is Mass number because the sum of proton number and neutron number is equals to mass number.
