The lack of a number preceding the carbon symbol C and the compound formula CO2 shows that there is one carbon atom and one carbon dioxide molecule. Subscript numbers in chemical formulas represent the number of atoms or molecules immediately preceding the subscript.

Which substance is the oxidizing agent in the following reaction? Fe2S3 + 12HNO3 → 2Fe(NO3)3 + 3S + 6NO2 + 6H2O Which substance

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

HNO3 is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

Step 1:

The oxidizing agent is responsible to oxidize another. but itself undergoes a reduction .

Fe2S3:

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

S has an oxidation number of -2

HNO3:

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

H has an oxidation number of +1

N has an oxidation number of +5

Fe(NO3)3

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

Since NO3 has an oxidation number of -1; N has an oxidation number of +5

S alone has an oxidation number of 0

NO2:

O has an oxidation number of -2 (we have 2 times O, this makes -4)

N has an oxidation number of +4

Fe doesn't change from oxidation number. It stays +3

N goes from +5 to +4 → this is a reduction

S goes from -2 to 0 → this is an oxidation

The reducing agent is the compound that contributes the oxidized species (S).

The oxidizing agent contributes the reducing species (N)

The answer is HNO3

If 190dm of hydrogen gas collected at 20°c and 760mmHg .Calculate it's volume at stp (standard pressure=760mmHg

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

177.1 L

Explanation:

The excersise can be solved, by the Ideal Gases Law.

P . V = n . R . T

In first step we need to determine the moles of gas:

We convert T° from, C° to K → 20°C + 273 = 293K

We convert P from mmHg to atm → 760 mmHg = 1atm

1Dm³ = 1L → 190L

We replace: 190 L . 1 atm = n . 0.082 . 293K

(190L.atm) / 0.082 . 293K = 7.91 moles.

We replace equation at STP conditions (1 atm and 273K)

V = (n . R .T) / P

V = (7.91 mol . 0.082 . 273K) / 1atm = 177.1 L

We can also make a rule of three:

At STP conditions 1 mol of gas occupies 22.4L

Then, 7.91 moles will be contained at (7.91 . 22.4) /1 = 177.1L

For changing potential energy; When you drop a book, gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. Your car transforms the chemical potential energy stored in gasoline into the kinetic energy of the car's motion.

For Kinetic Energy; kinetic energy can be converted into electrical energy by a generator or into thermal energy by the brakes on a car.
