A volcano is created when hot molten rock, ash and gases escape from an opening in the Earth's surface. The molten rock and ash solidify as they cool, forming the distinctive volcano shape shown here. As a volcano erupts, it spills lava that flows downslope. Hot ash and gases are thrown into the air.
No of moles of MgCl2 = weight of MgCl2 / Molecular weight of MgCl2
Weight of MgCl2 =moles of MgCl2 x molecular mass of MgCl2
= 8.90 x 95=845.5 gm
As the period number increases on the periodic table, moving from top to bottom, the atomic radius of the elements increases as well.
A solar eclipse occurs when a portion of the Earth is engulfed in a shadow cast by the Moon which fully or partially blocks sunlight. This occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned.
For the reaction Cl₂(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq) ⇒ 2Cl⁻(aq) + Br₂(aq), Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron.
<h3>What is the oxidizing agent?</h3>
In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent is the one that gains electrons, causing the other element to oxidize.
Let's consider the following redox reaction.
Cl₂(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq) ⇒ 2Cl⁻(aq) + Br₂(aq)
The corresponding half-reactions are:
Reduction: 2 e- + Cl₂(aq) ⇒ 2Cl⁻(aq)
Oxidation: 2 Br⁻(aq) ⇒ Br₂(aq) + 2 e-
Which best describes the oxidizing agent in this reaction?
- Bromine (Br) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron. NO. Br is the reducing agent.
- Bromine (Br) is the oxidizing agent because it loses an electron. NO. Br is the reducing agent.
- Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron. YES.
- Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it loses an electron. NO. Cl gains electrons.
For the reaction Cl₂(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq) ⇒ 2Cl⁻(aq) + Br₂(aq), Chlorine (Cl) is the oxidizing agent because it gains an electron.
