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:
C. If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false.
Explanation:
The burning of magnesium in air produces magnesium oxide as shown by the equation;
2Mg(s) + O2(g) -----> 2MgO(s)
The magnesium oxide solid is recovered as a white ash. This is a typical example of an oxidation reaction which is also a combustion reaction.
The reason has nothing at all to do with the assertion hence the answer given.
Magnesium oxide is basic just like the oxides of other metals and dissolves in water to yield an alkali.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
okay, you need to look at the structures of the particles of matter in the solid, liquid and gas.
- particles in a solid are in fixed positions, where they can only vibrate in those positions ( take a look at ice, or rather, a brick)
- liquids have very small or rather, no spaces between them, but they can slide or rub against each other, like people in a <em>really tight</em> crowd I guess
- gas particles have very large spaces between them and they move randomly. these exibit what's called brownian motion.
- since water particles (and all other liquid particles) have negligible spacings and limited movement, that allows the dye particles to move from a region of high concentration to that of a low concentration. the aim for this is for the mixture/solution to reach an equilibrium, that is the mixture must get to a point where all regions have the same concentration of the dye.
you can refer to your coursebooks :)
correct where wrong please:)
Answer:
When salt is mixed with water, the salt dissolves because the covalent bonds of water are stronger than the ionic bonds in the salt molecules. ... Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together.
Explanation:
Answer: Adenine and guanine are the two purines and cytosine, thymine and uracil are the three pyrimidines. The main difference between purines and pyrimidines is that purines contain a sixmembered nitrogencontaining ring fused to an imidazole ring whereas pyrimidines contain only a sixmembered nitrogencontaining ring. They both are types or categories of nitrogen containing bases present in nuclei acids of DNA and RNA.
Purines are 2 Ring or Carbon Ring, Nitrogen containing bases. That consist of these 2 rings next placed next to each other. These examples include - Adenine and Guanine.
Pyrimidines are 1 or single Ring Nitrogen containing structures. There are 3 nitrogenous bases that are categorized as pyrimidines. Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil.
