Answer: Reducing agent in the given reaction is 
.
Explanation:
A reducing agent is defined as an element which tends to lose electrons to other element leading to an increase in its oxidation number.
In the given reaction, oxidation state of sulfur in is +2 and 
has 0 oxidation state.
In 
oxidation state of S is 2.5 and in 
oxidation state of I is -1.
Since, an increase in oxidation state of S is occurring from +2 to +2.5. Hence, it is acting as a reducing agent.
Thus, we can conclude that reducing agent in the given reaction is .
Answer:
Density is the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume. Density is an intensive property, meaning that it does not depend on the amount of material present in the sample. ... Since a cubic centimeter is equal to a milliliter, density units can also be expressed as g/mL.

Answer:
Explanation:
Sodium chloride is ionic compound. It is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.
Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.
The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.
Sodium atom have one valance electron by losing this one valance electron sodium atom get the complete octet. Chlorine atom has seven valance electrons and needed to lose seven valance electrons or to get one electron and thus complete the octet. It is very easy for chlorine atom to get one electrons instead of losing all seven electron. Thus when it react with sodium it gain the valance electron of sodium and form ionic compound.
That's why only one atom of sodium combine with one atom chlorine.
Hello!
When finding the chemical formula of a compound, we will need to find the charges of each element/bond.
Looking at our period table, sodium has a +1 charge, written as Na 1+, and sulfate has a charge of -2, and it is written as SO4 2-.
Now, we need to make the charges equivalent. To do this, we need to "criss-cross" the charges. This means that sodium will need to additional atoms to make the charges equal, and sulfate will need one.
Therefore, the chemical formula for sodium sulfate is: Na2SO4.
