The element that was oxidized is carbon, as it’s oxidation state increased (electrons were lost) from +2 (in the reactants) to +4 (in the products). The element that was reduced is nitrogen, as it gained electrons and went from a +2 oxidation state (reactants) to a 0 oxidation state (products). Since the carbon was oxidized and it’s electrons were used to reduce the nitrogen, carbon is the reducing agent.

What is the primary reason why elements form compounds?​
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

To gain stability

Explanation:

If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.

A pure substance is found to contain 53.7% fluorine and 46.3% xenon by mass. What is the empirical formula of this substance?
evablogger [386]

Answer: XF8

Explanation:

Empirical Formular shows the simplest ratio of elements in a compound.

 Xe = 46.3%             F  = 53.7%

Divide the percentage composition of each element by the atomic  mass.

Xe = 46.3/ 131.3                      F= 53.7/ 19

      = 0.353( approx)               =  2.826 (approx)

Divide through with the smallest of the answers gotten in previous step.

 Xe = 0.353 / 0.353                F = 2.826/ 0.353

       =  1                                       = 8.0

Empirical formular = XF8
