What does the reducing agent do in a redox reaction? (A.P.E.X)

Chemistry
1 answer:
sweet-ann [11.9K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The reducing agent donates electron to the oxidizing agent and gets oxidized itself

Explanation:

In an oxidation-reduction reaction, also known as REDOX reaction, one of the reactants is called OXIDIZING AGENT while the other is called REDUCING AGENT. The reducing agent is called so because it reduces another substance in the reaction.

It reduces another atom/ion by donating electrons to that atom, hence, getting oxidized itself in the process. For example, in the following reaction:

H2 + F2 → 2HF

Fluorine is getting oxidized from -2 to 0 by donating electrons to H and reducing it from +2 to 0.

The density of lead is 11.4g/cm3. What volume, in ft3, would be occupied by 10.0 g of lead?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The volume is 3.09 ft^3.

Explanation:

The formula for volume is mass divided by density. 10.0 g / 11.4 g/cm^3 = 0.87719. Converted to cubis foot is 3.09 ft^3. I hope this helps you.

. An inflated balloon has a volume of 6.0 L at sea level (1.0 atm) and is allowed to ascend in altitude until the pressure is 0.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Volume = 11.4 L

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 6 L

Pressure 1 = P1 = 1 atm

Temperature 1 = T1 = 22°C

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Pressure 2 = 0.45 atm

Temperature 2 = -21°C

Process

1.- Convert temperature (°C) to °K

T1 = 273 + 22 = 295°K

T2 = 273 + (-21) = 252°K

2.- Use the combined gas law to solve this problem

                   P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

-Solve for V2

                   V2 = P1V1T2 / T1P2

-Substitution

                   V2 = (6)(1)(252) / (295)(0.45)

- Simplification

                   V2 = 1512 / 132.75

- Result

                   V2 = 11.38 L

using the equation 2h2+o2-->2h2o if 192g of oxygen are produced how many grmas of hydrogen must react with it
Brilliant_brown [7]
Equation: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

Now, Given mass of Oxygen = 192 g
Molar mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol

No. of moles in Oxygen = 16/192 = 0.0833

Now, for every mole of Oxygen, 2 mole of Hydrogen will form, 
so, Number of moles of Hydrogen = 0.0833 * 2 = 0.167

Given mass = Number of Moles * Molar mass
Given mass = 0.167 * 2
m = 0.33 g

In short, Your Answer would be: 0.33 g

Hope this helps!
