Answer:
Static Electricity
Explanation:
Most likely, in the room, Jim was building up static electricity by friction with the floor, which he released upon contact with a metal object.
Answer: D
Explanation:
A reducing agent is a species that reduces other compounds, and is thereby oxidized. The whole compound becomes the reducing agent. In other words, of a compound is oxidized, then they are the reducing agent. On the other hand, if the compound is reduced, it is an ozidizing agent.
Since we have established that a reducing agent is the compound being oxidized, we know that A is not our answer. An oxidized compound is losing electrons. Choice A states exactly this.
For B, this is true as we have established this already.
C is also correct. Since a reducing agent loses electrons, it becomes more positive. This makes the oxidation number increase.
D would be our correct answer. It is actually a good oxidizing agent is a metal in a high oxidation state, such as Mn⁷⁺.
The volume of hydrogen gas that evolved is calculated as follows
by use of ideal gas equation
that is PV = nRT
P=745 mm hg
V= ?
R(gas constant)= 62.36 L.mm hg/mol.k
T= 20 + 273 = 293 k
n=number of moles which is calculated as follows
find the moles of Na used
= 0.52/23=0.023 moles
write the reacting equation
2Na +2H2O =2NaOH +H2
by use of reacting ratio between Na : H2 which is 2:1 therefore the mole of H2 = 0.023/2 =0.0115 moles
by making the volume the subject of the formula
v=nRT/P
V= (0.0115 x 62.36 x 293) / 745 = 0.283 L
Energy of the reactants would be correct
