Answer:
Mg
Explanation:
Mg + Cu2+ — Mg2+ + Cu
Magnesium is oxidized because its oxidation state increased from 0 to +2 while Cu is reduced because its oxidation state decreased from +2 to 0.
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
<em>Consider the following reactions.
</em>
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O
The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
16. Metals have a structure containing delocalised electrons, meaning they can conduct electricity as they allow movement of charged particles. 17. groups of elements (columns) react in the same way, but depending on whether they group tends to lose or gain electrons the reactivity can increase or decrease when going down the group (column) 18. O2 is non polar as there is no difference in electronegativity between two oxygen atoms (they are the same). CO2 is non polar, it has polar bonds (O is more electronegative than C) but as it is symmetrical there is no polarity in the molecule. 19. Water is polar as the lone pairs on the O repel the delta + H groups so that the HOH angle is around 109deg, so water molecules create polar interactions which each other. These polar interactions require energy to break, so water has a higher boiling point than other small molecules which don't have these interactions. 20. The metal used is tough, and the horseshoe is usually heated meaning the metal will act slightly more viscous (closer to liquid). This means it can be moulded better, and then when its cooled it will become stronger and more brittle. 21. Well N2 + H2 --> NH3, by the haber process, so nitrogen:hydrogen ratio is 1:3. But what they want you to say is that nitrogen has 5 electrons and hydrogen has 1 and you're aiming for eight so you need N (5) + 3 Hs (3*1=3) to make NH3 (8 electrons around N) 22. Na and H, as this reduces the valence shell number and therefore reduces the energy state of the atom 23. Ar, its very stable as its octet is filled, meaning to fill or empty its octet it would have to lose or gain 8 electrons which is extremely hard 24. Oxygen, as it would accept the electrons donated by the 2 Na atoms, and fill its octet while emptying both the Na's 25. N2 and O2 are both covalently bonded, Oxygen forms a double bond to itself like this O=O and nitrogen forms a triple bond to itself like this N<span>≡N </span><span>Hope that helps :) and make sure you learn this, it'll come back and bite you when you need it for a test</span>
Au³⁺ metal ion is reduced in the Au/Cr cell and Co²⁺ metal ion is reduced in the Co/Zr cell
<h3>What is a voltaic cell?</h3>
A voltaic cell is a cell that generates electricity by a spontaneous redox reaction.
It is an electrochemical cell, also known as a galvanic cell and
Electrical energy is created by converting chemical energy.
Examples of voltaic cells include the dry cell, nickel-cadmium cell, lead storage cell, and fuel cells.
The half-cell reactions for each cell are given by
; E° = 1.50 V
; E° = –0.74 V
; E° = –0.28 V
E° = –0.76 V
Thus, Au³⁺ is reduced in the Au/Cr cell and Co²⁺ is reduced in the Co/Zr cell
