Which identifies an oxidation-reduction reaction?
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄  →  Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is  also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized

A sample of potassium chlorate (15.0 g) is dissolved in 201 g of water at 70 °c with precautions taken to avoid evaporation of a
zlopas [31]
Answer is: unsaturated.
Solubility of potassium chlorate on 70°C is approximately 30 grams in 100 grams of water.
Solubility of potassium chlorate on 70°C is approximately 10 grams in 100 grams of water.
So if dissolve 15 g of potassium chlorate in 201 g of water, there is less salt than it solubility and solution is unsaturated.

Calculate the volume of a 0.5M solution containing 20g of NaOH
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

1L

Explanation:

First, let us calculate the number of mole present in 20g of NaOH. This is illustrated below:

Mass = 20g

Molar Mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol

Number of mole =?

Number of mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of NaOH = 20/40 = 0.5mol

From the question given, we obtained the following data:

Molarity = 0.5M

Mole = 0.5mole

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.5/0.5

Volume = 1L

The town of Natrium, West Virginia, derives its name from the sodium produced in the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaC
Alona [7]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

           Na^{+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Na(s)

Hence, moles of Na = moles of electron used

Therefore, calculate the number of moles of sodium as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{4500 g}{23 g/mol}    (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

                             = 195.65 mol

As,     Q = n \times F       where F = Faraday's constant

              = 195.65 mol \times 96500 C

              = 1.88 \times 10^{7} mol C

Relation between electrical energy and Q is as follows.

               E = Q \times V

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula and then calculate the value of electricity as follows.

              E = Q \times V

                 = 1.88 \times 10^{7} \times 5

                 = 9.4 \times 10^{7} J

As 1 J = 2.77 \times 10^{-7} kWh

Hence,      \frac{9.4 \times 10^{7}}{2.77 \times 10^{-7}} kWh

                = 3.39 kWh

Thus, we can conclude that 3.39 kilowatt-hours of electricity is required in the given situation.
