Answer: I2 is the Oxidant; while the 2S2O3(-2) is the reductant.
Explanation:
An Oxidant is any substance that oxidizes, or receives electrons from, another; in so doing, it becomes reduced in oxidation number.
A Reductant thus exactly the opposite.
Note that the equation provided shows that Iodine (I2) received an electron to become NEGATIVELY CHARGED:
I2 --> 2I-.
The oxidation number reduced from 0 to -1.
In contrast, the oxidation number of 2S2O3(-2) increases from -4 to -2.
Thus, I2 is the Oxidant; while the 2S2O3(-2) is the reductant.
Answer:
0.693 (you can round it up if you want to)
Explanation:
Density= mass ÷ volume
54.2 ÷ 78.1 = 0.693
I hope this helped☺
<h2>Answer : Law of conservation of mass</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>
The law of conservation of mass states that in any reaction mass is neither created nor lost it has to remain constant in a system.
In this case, when the reaction setup was done in normal way the mass was lost in surrounding was not considered nor being calculated; whereas when the reaction was studied in a closed system where the gas was collected after the reaction the mass changes was noted down which helped to prove the point of law of conservation of mass and energy.
One can consider an example of soda can where the carbonated drink contains pressurized carbon dioxide gas. when opened the gas bubbles gets lost into the surroundings and we don't measure the mass changes. Instead if the soda can was opened in such a way where the gas evolved was measured then the mass changed would remain the same.
Answer: 4.18925 kJ heat is needed to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.
Explanation:
Temperature of Solid
Melting temperature of Solid 
Temperature of liquid 
Specific heats of solid ethanol = 0.97 J/gK
Specific heats of liquid ethanol = 2.3 J/gK
Heat required to melt the the 25 g solid
at 159 K
= 159 K - 138 K = 21 K

Heat required to melt and raise the temperature of
upto 223 K
= 223 K - 159 K = 64 K

Total heat to convert solid ethanol to liquid ethanol at given temperature :
(1kJ=1000J)
Hence, 4.18925 kJ of heat will be required to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.
