Answer:

(a) Acid

(b) Base

(c) Acid

(d) Base

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius acid-base theory:

  • An acid is a substance that releases H⁺ in aqueous solution.
  • A base is a substance that releases OH⁻ in aqueous solution.

(a) H₂SO₄ is an acid according to the following equation:

H₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ 2 H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)

(b) Sr(OH)₂ is a base according to the following equation:

Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇄ Sr²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

(c) HBr is an acid according to the following equation:

HBr(aq) ⇒ H⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

(d) NaOH is a base according to the following equation:

NaOH(aq) ⇒ Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Hydrogen peroxide can act as either an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent depending on the species present in solution. Write t
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Reduction: 2 H⁺(aq) + H₂O₂(aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ 2 H₂O(l)

Oxidation: H₂O₂(aq) ⇒ O₂(g) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Explanation:

In H₂O₂, hydrogen has the oxidation number +1 and oxygen the oxidation number -1.

In the reduction half-reaction (H₂O₂ is the oxidizing agent), H₂O₂ forms H₂O. The oxidation number of oxygen decreases from -1 to -2.

2 H⁺(aq) + H₂O₂(aq) + 2 e⁻ ⇒ 2 H₂O(l)

In the oxidation half-reduction (H₂O₂ is the reducing agent), H₂O₂ forms O₂. The oxidation number of oxygen increases  from -1 to 0.

H₂O₂(aq) ⇒ O₂(g) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

What is the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3?​
ra1l [238]

Answer: The oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6

Explanation:

SeO3 is the chemical formula for selenium trioxide.

- The oxidation state of SeO3 = 0 (since it is stable and with no charge)

- the oxidation number of oxygen (O) IN SeO3 is -2

- the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 = Z (let unknown value be Z)

Hence, SeO3 = 0

Z + (-2 x 3) = 0

Z + (-6) = 0

Z - 6 = 0

Z = 0 + 6

Z = +6

Thus, the oxidation state of selenium in SeO3 is +6
