Answer: 483 mL of the cleaning solution are used to clean hospital equipment

Explanation:

The question requires us to calculate the volume, in mL, of solution is used to clean hospital equipment, given that 415g of this solution are used and the specific gravity of the solution is 0.860.

Measurements > Density

Specific gravity is defined as the ratio between the density of a given substance to the density of a reference material, such as water:

$Specific\text{ gravity = }\frac{density\text{ of substance}}{density\text{ of reference substance}}$

The density of a substance is defined as the ratio between the mass and the volume of this substance:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Considering the reference substance as water and its density as 1.00 g/mL, we can determine the density of the substance which specific gravity is 0.860:

$0.860=\frac{density\text{ of substance}}{1.00g/mL}\rightarrow density\text{ of substance = 0.860g/mL}$

Thus, taking water as the reference substance, we can say that the density of the cleaning solution is 0.860 g/mL.

Now that we know the density of the cleaning solution (0.860 g/mL) and the mass of solution that is used to clean hospital equipment (415g), we can calculate the volume of solution that is used to clean the equipment:

$\begin{gathered} density=\frac{mass}{volume}\rightarrow volume=\frac{mass}{density} \\ \\ volume=\frac{415g}{0.860g/mL}=483mL \end{gathered}$

Therefore, 483 mL of the cleaning solution are used to clean hospital equipment.

Be sure to answer all parts. For the complete redox reactions given here, write the half-reactions and identify the oxidizing an

Answer : $O_2$ is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

Explanation :

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The balanced redox reaction is :

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction : $Fe\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3e^-$

Reduction reaction : $O_2+4e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}$

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 4 and reduction reaction by 3 then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation reaction : $4Fe\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+12e^-$

Reduction reaction : $3O_2+12e^-\rightarrow 6O^{2-}$

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

In this reaction, $'Fe'$ is the reducing agent that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets oxidized and $'O_2'$ is the oxidizing agent that gain an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets reduced.
