The answer is B) gain 8 electrons
The number of calories that are required to change the temperature of 2.18 g of water from 15.3 c to 69.5 c is <u>118.16 cal</u>
<u><em> calculation</em></u>
- Heat in calories = MCΔ T where,
- M(mass)= 2.18 g
- C(specific heat capacity)= 1.00 cal/g/c
- ΔT( change in temperature)= 69.5- 15.3 =54.2 c
heat is therefore= 2.18 g x 1.00 cal/g/c x 54.2 c=118.16 cal
Q1)
We have been given the OH⁻ concentration, therefore we first need to find the pOH value and then the pH value.
pOH = -log [OH⁻]
pOH = -log (0.225 M)
pOH = 0.65
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - 0.65 = 13.35
Q2)
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log (0.0015 M)
pOH = 2.82
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - 2.82
pH = 11.18
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⁺.
