Answer: D
Explanation:
A reducing agent is a species that reduces other compounds, and is thereby oxidized. The whole compound becomes the reducing agent. In other words, of a compound is oxidized, then they are the reducing agent. On the other hand, if the compound is reduced, it is an ozidizing agent.
Since we have established that a reducing agent is the compound being oxidized, we know that A is not our answer. An oxidized compound is losing electrons. Choice A states exactly this.
For B, this is true as we have established this already.
C is also correct. Since a reducing agent loses electrons, it becomes more positive. This makes the oxidation number increase.
D would be our correct answer. It is actually a good oxidizing agent is a metal in a high oxidation state, such as Mn⁷⁺.
From the given balanced equation we have find out the amount (in gm) of Ag formed from 5.50 gm of Ag₂O.
2Ag₂O(s) → 4Ag (s) + O₂ (g)
We know, molecular mass of Ag₂O= 231.7 g/mol, and atomic mass of Ag= 107.8 g/mol. Given, mass of Ag₂O=5.50 gm. Number moles of Ag₂O=
= 0.0237 moles.
From the balanced chemical reaction we get 2 (two) moles of Ag₂O produces 4 (four) moles of Ag. So, 0.0237 moles of Ag₂O produces 
moles=0.0474 moles of Ag= 0.0474 X 107.8 g of Ag=5.11g Ag.
Therefore, 5.50 g Ag₂O produces 5.11 g of Ag as per the given balanced chemical reaction.
Answer:
Explanation:
All the colligatives properties are modified by the Van't Hoff factor. This is shown as i, in the formula of the colligative properties freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure.
The Van't Hoff factor shows the number of particles into which the solute dissociates. In organic compounds we use 1, in inorganic compounds we have to think the dissociation. For example in aquous solutions, inorganic salts as AgNO₃ and CaCl₂ dissociate like this:
AgNO₃ → Ag⁺ + NO₃⁻
CaCl₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻
AgNO₃ has 2 moles of ions and CaCl₂ has 3 moles.
In urea: i = 1
In silver nitrate: i = 2
In calcium chloride: i = 3
The i = 3 for calcium chloride, makes that this salt has the highest osmotic pressure, highest vapor pressure and highest boiling point.
