Answer:
first we need to convert everything in SI units
Answer:
Iron is oxidized while chlorine is reduced.
Explanation:
The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Consider the following reaction:
2FeCl₂ + Cl₂ → 2FeCl₃
in this reaction the oxidation state of iron is increased from +2 to +3. That's why iron get oxidized and it is reducing agent because it reduced the chlorine. The chlorine is reduced from -2 to -3 and it is oxidizing agent because it oxidized the iron.
2Fe⁺²Cl₂⁻²
2Fe⁺³Cl₃⁻³
The iron atom gives it three electrons to three atoms of chlorine and gain positive charge while chlorine atom accept the electron and form anion.
Gain 1.
This is because of Chlorine's placement on the periodic table. Chlorine is a Halogen, thus being located in group 17 or 7A. This means it is one of the closest elements to being a Noble Gas or group 18/8A.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, and in order for it to become a Noble Gas, it needs 8. Cl- is typically the symbol used to represent this as Chlorine needs to gain an electrons instead of lose; once Chlorine gains the electron, it will be stable.
This also means that Chlorine has a high ionization energy or, in simpler terms, it would be difficult to remove an electron from Chlorine.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
They contain atoms that combine together to form molecules. In multicellular organisms, such as animals, molecules can interact to form cells that combine to form tissues, which make up organs. ... All atoms contain protons, electrons, and neutrons.
