When an ion loses electrons, it becomes a positive ion even though it does not lose protons. If there are more protons than electrons in the ion, the ion will have a positive charge.

The mass of magnesium, which has a density of 1.74 g/cm is 504.6 g.

Mass is the quantity of matter. Mass can be calculated by multiplying density by volume.

Magnesium is a chemical element with the atomic number 12. It is needed in the body in trace amounts. It can cause malnutrition in the body.

Mass = Density x volume

We know the density and the volume of magnesium.

Density = 1.74

Volume = 290

Density x volume

Putting the value in the equation

1.74 x 290 = 504.6 g

Thus, the mass of magnesium is 504.6 g.

For the reaction shown, identify the element oxidized, the element reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent. KNO3 →

Vinvika [58]

Answer : The oxidizing element is N and reducing element is O.

$KNO_{3}$ is act as an oxidizing agent as well as reducing agent.

Explanation :

An Oxidizing agent is the agent which has ability to oxidize other or a higher in oxidation number.

Reducing agent is the agent which has ability to reduce other or lower in oxidation number.

The given reaction is :

$KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}$

$KNO_{3}$ act as an oxidizing agent.

The oxidation number of N in $KNO_{3}$ is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+3(-2) = 0

x = +5

And the oxidation number of N in $KNO_{2}$ is calculated as:

(+1)+(x)+2(-2) = 0

x = +3

From the oxidation number method, we conclude that the oxidation number reduced this means $KNO_{3}$ itself get reduced to $KNO_{2}$ and it can act as an oxidizing agent.

$KNO_{3}$ act as a reducing agent.

$KNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{2} +O_{2}$

The oxidation number of O in $KNO_{3}$ is calculated as:

(+1)+(+5)+3(x) = 0

x = -2

The oxidation number of O in $O_{2}$ is Zero (o).

Now, we conclude that the oxidation number increases this means $KNO_{3}$ itself get oxidized to $O_{2}$ and it can act as reducing agent.
