Answer:

Option C. Decomposition

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, it is important we know what is a single displacement reaction, double displacement reaction and decomposition reaction.

A Single displacement reaction can be defined as a reaction in which a single element is replaced by another element in a compound.

A double displacement reaction is a reaction involving the exchange of ions of two parts of ionic compounds to form two different compounds.

A decomposition reaction is a reaction in which a compound splits into two or more simpler compound or element.

Bearing the above definitions in mind and considering the question given above, we can conclude that the reaction given in the question above is a decomposition reaction since the compound (NH₄OH) splits into two different compound (NH₃ and H₂O)

Determine the reducing agent in the following reaction. Explain your answer. 2 Li(s) + Fe(C2H3O2)2(aq) → 2 LiC2H3O2(aq) + Fe(s)

Brilliant_brown [7]

The reducing agent in the reaction 2Li(s) + Fe(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → 2LiCH₃COO(aq) + Fe(s) is lithium (Li).

The general reaction is:

2Li(s) + Fe(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → 2LiCH₃COO(aq) + Fe(s) (1)

We can write the above reaction in two reactions, one for oxidation and the other for reduction:

Oxidation reaction

Li⁰(s) → Li⁺(aq) + e⁻ (2)

Reduction reaction

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Fe⁰(s) (3)

We can see that Li⁰ is oxidizing to Li⁺ (by losing one electron) in the lithium acetate (reaction 2) and that Fe²⁺ in iron(II) acetate is reducing to Fe⁰ (by gaining two electrons) (reaction 3).

We must remember that the reducing agent is the one that will be oxidized by reducing another element and that the oxidizing agent is the one that will be reduced by oxidizing another species.

In reaction (1), the reducing agent is Li (it is oxidizing to Li⁺), and the oxidizing agent is Fe(CH₃COO)₂ (it is reducing to Fe⁰).

Therefore, the reducing agent in reaction (1) is lithium (Li).

Answer:

As for your question, I know to forget to put the options, specifically that your question is incomplete.

Explanation:

Although it could help you by telling you that always a reaction that seeks to balance the pH, and achieve neutrality ... It is necessary to achieve a concentration of OH equal to that of H +, in this way the hydroxyl and the protons.
