Chlorine reacts very violently. What about its electron shells makes this the case?

Answer:

it readily gains another electron. the outer electron shell is closer to the nucleus, than iodine for example, which makes it less shielded (greater attraction for another electron = violent reaction to get it)

Which substance is the oxidizing agent in the following reaction? Fe2S3 + 12HNO3 → 2Fe(NO3)3 + 3S + 6NO2 + 6H2O Which substance

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

HNO3 is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

Step 1:

The oxidizing agent is responsible to oxidize another. but itself undergoes a reduction .

Fe2S3:

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

S has an oxidation number of -2

HNO3:

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

H has an oxidation number of +1

N has an oxidation number of +5

Fe(NO3)3

O has an oxidation number of -2 ( we have 3 times O so this makes -6)

Fe has an oxidation number of +3

Since NO3 has an oxidation number of -1; N has an oxidation number of +5

S alone has an oxidation number of 0

NO2:

O has an oxidation number of -2 (we have 2 times O, this makes -4)

N has an oxidation number of +4

Fe doesn't change from oxidation number. It stays +3

N goes from +5 to +4 → this is a reduction

S goes from -2 to 0 → this is an oxidation

The reducing agent is the compound that contributes the oxidized species (S).

The oxidizing agent contributes the reducing species (N)

The answer is HNO3

In your own words list and describe the three subatomic particles that make up atoms.

padilas [110]

Answer:

Subatomic particles making up an atom

Explanation:

Atom is the smallest unit of any matter

An atom consists of three subatomic particles - Protons, Neutrons, Electrons. Major atomic mass is in the nucleus ie a tiny deep area at the centre. Nucleus consists nucleons, which includes protons (positively charge) & neurons (neutrally charged). Negatively charged electrons are outside the central nucleus.

Calculate the number of moles of ethanol acid in 30 cm³of 1 mol dm-³ solution

muminat

Answer:

May I assume "ethanol acid is just ethanol (it has one slightly acidic H atom). If so, the molar mass is 46.02 g/mole.

Explanation:

We have 30 cm^3 [30 ml] of 1.0 M (1 mole/liter) [1 dm³ = 1 liter].

That is 1 mole/liter. 30 ml would contain (0.030 liter)*(1 mole/1 liter) = 0.03 moles.

1.5 moles of Al is how many<br> atoms?

aev [14]

Answer:

<h2>9.03 × 10²³ atoms </h2>

Explanation:

The number of atoms of Al can be found by using the formula

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

N = 1.5 × 6.02 × 10²³

We have the final answer as

<h3>9.03 × 10²³ atoms</h3>

Hope this helps you
