Answer:

A redox reaction in which a change of oxidation number of the reacting species occurs either by oxidation or by reduction which occur simultaneously and to the same extent during the reaction.

Silver atoms are oxidized while oxygen atoms are reduced by a loss of electrons and a gain of electrons respectively.

Explanation:

A redox reaction in which a change of oxidation number of the reacting species occurs either by oxidation or by reduction which occur simultaneously and to the same extent during the reaction.

In a redox reaction,the two reactions occurring simultaneously can be divided into two half reactions; an oxidation half-reaction and a reduction half-reaction.

The oxidation half-reaction involves losing electrons and thus an increase in oxidation number of the species being oxidized. Whereas, the reduction half reaction involves gaining electrons and thus, a reduction innthe oxidation number of the species being reduced.

The species which oxidizes another species is known as an oxidizing agent and isnitself reduced due to its accepting electrons from the species being oxidized. Th reducing agent reduces another species and is itself oxidized as it loses electrons to the oxidized agent.

In the given reaction as shown below:

4 Ag (s) + 2 H₂S (g) + O₂ (g) ---> 2 Ag₂S (s) + 2 H₂0 (g)

The reaction is a redox reaction as a change innthe oxidation number of the reacting species; both oxidation and reduction occurs simultaneously and to the same extent.

The metallic silver atoms, have an oxidation number of zero initially. However, each of the four moles of atoms give up one mole of a electrons each to become oxidized to silver (i) ions, Ag+.

On the other hand, molecular oxygen gas also having oxidation number of zero becomes reduced to oxygen ion, O²-. Each of the two moles of atom in the oxygen gas molecule accept two electrons each donated by the metallic silver atoms to become reduced to oxygen ion, O²-.

The oxidation numbers of hydrogen ion and sulfide ion do not change.

How many grams of acetylene are produced by adding water to 5.00 g CaC2?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2.03125g of acetylene

Explanation:

First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation;

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

Water is in excess, so CAC2 is our limiting reactant. i.e it determines the amount of product that would be formed.

1 mol of CaC2 produces 1 mol of C2H2

In terms of mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

where the molar mass of the elements are;

Ca = 40g/mol

C = 12g/mol

H = 1g/mol

CaC2 = 40+ (2*12) = 64g/mol

C2H2 =( 2 * 12) + ( 2 * 1) = 26g/mol

64g (1 * 64g/mol) of CaC2 produces 26g ( 1mol * 26g/mol) of C2H2

5g would produce x?

64 = 26

5 = x

Upon solving for x we have;

x = (5 * 26) / 64

x = 2.03125g

Which of the following terms is a term that could refer to heterogeneous matter? a. element b. mixture c. compound d. solution
kupik [55]

Answer : b. mixture

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Element and compound are included in pure substance where the composition is the same in each part

Elements are made up of 1 type of atom, while the compounds of 2 or more types of atoms , both can be represented in the form of chemical symbols

A mixture is a combination of substances. The properties of a substance in the mixture component are unchanged

The mixture can be a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture

  • the homogeneous mixture if each part has the same composition
  • the heterogeneous mixture if each part has a different composition

Solution including into Homogeneous mixture, while suspension into a heterogeneous mixture

So a term that could refer to heterogeneous matter : b. mixture
