Answer:
In the given chemical reaction:
Species Oxidized: I⁻
Species Reduced: Fe³⁺
Oxidizing agent: Fe³⁺
Reducing agent: I⁻
As the reaction proceeds, electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺
Explanation:
Redox reaction is a chemical reaction involving the simultaneous movement of electrons thereby causing oxidation of one species and reduction of the other species.
The chemical species that <u><em>gets reduced by gaining electrons </em></u><u>is called an </u><u><em>oxidizing agent</em></u>. Whereas, the chemical species that <u><em>gets oxidized by losing electrons </em></u><u>is called a </u><u><em>reducing agent</em></u><u>.</u>
Given redox reaction: 2Fe³⁺ + 2I⁻ → 2Fe²⁺ + I₂
<u>Oxidation half-reaction</u>: 2 I⁻ + → I₂ + 2 e⁻ ....(1)
<u>Reduction half-reaction</u>: [ Fe³⁺ + 1 e⁻ → Fe²⁺ ] × 2
⇒ 2 Fe³⁺ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺ ....(2)
In the given redox reaction, <u>Fe³⁺ (oxidation state +3) accepts electrons and gets reduced to Fe²⁺ (oxidation state +2) and I⁻ (oxidation state -1) loses electrons and gets oxidized to I₂ (oxidation state 0).</u>
<u>Therefore, Fe³⁺ is the oxidizing agent and I⁻ is the reducing agent and the electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺.</u>
Answer:
(II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity.
Explanation:
Bond polarity is proportional to difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms.
Atoms Electronegativity Bond Electronegativity difference
Cl 3.0 Cl-F 1.0
Br 2.8 Br-Cl 0.2
F 4.0 Cl-Cl 0
H 2.1 H-C 0.4
C 2.5 H-N 0.9
N 3.0 H-O 1.4
O 3.5 Br-F 1.2
I 2.7 I-F 1.3
Si 1.9 Cl-F 1.0
P 2.2 Si-Cl 1.1
Si-P 0.3
Si-C 0.6
Si-F 2.1
So, clearly, order of increasing polarity : O-H > N-H > C-H
So, (II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity
Lithium has the lowest. if fluorine is the highest then lithium is the lowest. i hope this helps you out!
