Answer:
Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ OXIDATION
Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s) REDUCTION
Explanation:
The redox reaction is: MgCl₂(aq) + Fe(s) → FeCl₂(aq) + Mg(s)
We need to know that elements in ground state have 0 as the oxidation state.
Iron in the reactants, and Mg in the products
In the magnessium chloride, the Mg acts with+2, so the oxidation state has decreased → REDUCTION
In the iron(II) chloride, the Fe acts with +2, so the oxidation statehas increased → OXIDATION
The half reactions are:
Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ OXIDATION
Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s) REDUCTION
Because at atmospheric pressure the boiling point is below room temperature, just like Oxygen, Nitrogen etc
Methane (CH4) = 1 carbon atom, 4 hydrogen
Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4) = 2 hydrogen atoms, 1 sulfur and 4 oxygen.
Answer:
FALSE
Explanation:
Br is <em>bromine</em> with atomic number 35, mass number of 79.904 and belongs to the group 7 elements known as the halogens.
Ga is <em>gallium</em> with atomic number 31, mass number of 69.72 and belongs to the alkaline earth metal i.e the group 3 elements.
From the above and in terms of their mass number, it is evident that Br is the larger element compared to Ga which is lesser than Br. Hence the statement is FALSE
