Hydrogen peroxide is a versatile chemical, its uses include bleaching wood pulp and fabrics and substituting for chlorine in wat

er purification. One reason for its versatility is that it can be either an oxidizing or reducing agent. For the following reactions, identify whether hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing or reducing agent.
a) H2O2 (aq) + 2 Fe2+ (aq) + 2 H+ + 2H20 (1) + 2 Fe3+(aq)
b) 5 H2O2 (aq) + 2 MnO4 (aq) + 6 H+ (aq) → 8 H20 (1) + 2 Mn2+ (aq) + 5 O2 (g)

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

H₂O₂ (aq) + 2 Fe²⁺ (aq) + 2 H⁺  = 2H20 (l) + 2 Fe³⁺(aq)

Here oxidation number  of Fe is increasing from + 2 to + 3 so it is being oxidized . Hence H₂O₂ is acting as oxidizing agent here .

b )

5 H₂O₂ (aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻¹ (aq) + 6 H⁺ (aq) → 8 H20 (l) + 2 Mn⁺² (aq) + 5O₂ (g)

In this reaction,  oxidation number of Mn is reducing from + 7 to + 2 so it is being reduced . Here H₂O₂ is acting as reducing agent .

Watching the way clouds move in the sky would most likely provide helpful information on which characteristic of the weather?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

By watching the movement of cirrus clouds you can tell from which direction weather is approaching. When you see cirrus clouds, it usually indicates that a change in the weather will occur within 24 hours. Cirrostratus clouds are thin, sheetlike high clouds that often cover the entire sky.

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)
zubka84 [21]

<u>Answer </u>

Answer 1 : 28.9 g of CO is needed.

Answer 2 : Six moles of H_{2}O over Nine moles of O_{2}

Answer 3 : Four over two fraction can be used for the mole ratio to determine the mass of Fe from a known mass of Fe_{2}O_{3}.

Answer 4 : Mass of O_{2} = (150 × 3 × 31.998) ÷ (232.29 × 1) grams

Answer 5 : 8.4 moles of sodium cyanide (NaCN) would be needed.

<u>Solution </u>

Solution 1 : Given,

Given mass of Fe_{2}O_{3} = 55 g

Molar mass of Fe_{2}O_{3} = 159.69 g/mole

Molar mass of CO = 28.01 g/mole

Moles of Fe_{2}O_{3} = \frac{\text{ Given mass of } Fe_{2}O_{3}}{\text{ Molar mass of } Fe_{2}O_{3}} = \frac{55 g}{159.69 g/mole} = 0.344 moles

Balanced chemical reaction is,

Fe_{2}O_{3}(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 2Fe(s)+3CO_{2}(g)

From the given reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of Fe_{2}O_{3} gives              →         3 moles of CO

0.344 moles of Fe_{2}O_{3} gives    →         3 × 0.344 moles of CO

                                                     =         1.032 moles

Mass of CO = Number of moles of CO × Molar mass of CO

                    = 1.032 × 28.01

                    = 28.90 g

Solution 2 : The balanced chemical reaction is,

2C_{3}H_{6}+9O_{2}\rightarrow 6CO_{2}+6H_{2}O

From the given reaction, we conclude that the Six moles of H_{2}O over Nine moles of O_{2} is the correct option.

Solution 3 : The balanced chemical reaction is,

4Fe+3O_{2}\rightarrow 2Fe_{2}O_{3}

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that Four over two fraction can be used for the mole ratio to determine the mass of Fe from a known mass of Fe_{2}O_{3}.

Solution 4 : Given,

Given mass of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} = 150 g

Molar mass of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} = 232.29 g/mole

Molar mass of O_{2} = 31.998 g/mole

Moles of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} = \frac{\text{ Given mass of }Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} }{\text{ Molar mass of } Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}} = (\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})moles

The balanced chemical equation is,

Zn(ClO_{3})_{2}}\rightarrow ZnCl_{2}+3O_{2}

From the given balanced equation, we conclude that

1 mole of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} gives          →       3 moles of O_{2}

(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})moles of Zn(ClO_{3})_{2} gives  →  [(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})\times 3] moles of O_{2}

Mass of O_{2} = Number of moles of O_{2} × Molar mass of  O_{2} = [(\frac{150\times 1}{232.29})\times 3] \times 31.998 grams

Therefore, the mass of O_{2} = (150 × 3 × 31.998) ÷ (232.29 × 1) grams

Solution 5 : Given,

Number of moles of Na_{2}SO_{4} = 4.2 moles

Balanced chemical equation is,

H_{2}SO_{4}+2NaCN\rightarrow 2HCN+Na_{2}SO_{4}

From the given chemical reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of Na_{2}SO_{4} obtained from 2 moles of NaCN

4.2 moles of Na_{2}SO_{4} obtained   →   2 × 4.2 moles of NaCN

Therefore,

The moles of NaCN needed = 2 × 4.2 = 8.4 moles
