Mass and energy can not be created or destroyed, they may be able to just be converted, and neither one seems without the opposite. For this reason in closed systems, both mass and energy are conserved individually. " I hope this helps "
The number of atoms of K that are in 235 g of the compound is
2.57 x10^24 atoms
calculation
Step 1: find the moles of K2S
= moles = mass/molar mass
= 235 g/110 g/mol= 2.136 moles
Step 2: multiply 2.136 moles by no. of K atoms in K2S
= 2.136 x2 = 4.272 moles
Step 3: use the Avogadro's law to determine number of K atoms
that is according to Avogadro's law 1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms
4.272 moles= ? atoms
by cross multiplication
= (4.272 moles x 6.02 x10^23 atoms) / 1 mole = 2.57 x10^24 atoms
Answer:
The oxidizing agent is the MnO₄⁻
Explanation:
This is the redox reaction:
10 I⁻ (aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻ (aq) + 16 H⁺ (aq) → 5 I₂ (s) + 2 Mn²⁺ (aq) + 8 H2O (l)
Let's determine the oxidation and the reduction.
I⁻ acts with -1 in oxidation state and changes to 0, at I₂.
All elements in ground state has 0 as oxidation state.
As the oxidation state has increased, this is the oxidation, so the iodide is the reducing agent.
In the permanganate (MnO₄⁻), Mn acts with +7 in oxidation state and decreased to Mn²⁺. As the oxidation state is lower, we talk about the reduction. Therefore, the permanganate is the oxidizing agent because it oxidizes iodide to iodine
