When metallic aluminum is added to a solution containing iron(II) sulfate a reaction occurs. What species is being oxidized in t

REY [17]

Answer: Aluminium is getting oxidized in the given chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Al(s)+3FeSO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq.)+3Fe(s)$

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

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

Reduction half reaction: $Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

As, aluminium is loosing 3 electrons to form aluminium cation. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Iron is gaining 2 electrons to form iron anion. Thus, it is getting reduced.

Hence, the oxidized species of the given reaction is aluminium.

liam uses a machine that counts waves on a metal cable. The machine counts 25 waves in 2 seconds. what is the frequency of the w

Softa [21]

Frequency is defined as the number of waves per second. In this machine 25 waves pass in one second.
We need to calculate the number of waves that pass a particular point during one second.
During 2 seconds -25 waves
Therefore in one second - 25/2 = 12.5 waves/s.
1 wave per second has the unit Hertz (Hz)
Therefore answer is 12.5 Hz
