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)

Tasya [4]3 years ago
6 0

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 .

Andi performs the calculation that is shown below.
rodikova [14]

Answer: 3.59

Explanation:

(2.06)(1.743)(1.00)

2.06 × 1.743 × 1.00

= 3.59058

Two of the multiplied digits are represented in 3 significant figures. Therefore, for correct representation, the result of the product should be written to three significant figures.

3.59058 to 3 significant figures:

First three digits = 3.59

Fourth digit '0' is less than 5, and thus rounded to 0 with other succeeding digits

Therefore, (2.06)(1.743)(1.00) to 3 significant figures equals :

3.59

How can you tell if a chemical equation is balanced
k0ka [10]

Answer:

A chemical equation is balanced when the number of each kind of atom is the same on both sides of the reaction.

Explanation:

    The law of conservation of matter (except in nuclear reactions) indicates that atoms can neither be created or destroyed.

    The number of atoms that are in the  reactants must be the same as the number of the atoms that are in the product.

    The number and types of molecules can (and will) change. The atoms that make up the molecules are rearranged but the number and kinds of atoms stay the same.

Why do crystals form during crystallisation
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: Crystallization is a technique which chemists use to purify solid compounds. Crystals often form in nature when liquids cool and start to harden. Certain molecules in the liquid gather together as they attempt to become stable. They do this in a uniform and repeating pattern that forms the crystal. The process is based on the principles of solubility: compounds (solutes) tend to be more soluble in hot liquids (solvents) than they are in cold liquids. If a saturated hot solution is allowed to <u>cool</u>, the solute is no longer soluble in the solvent and forms crystals of pure compound. Impurities are excluded from the growing crystals and the pure solid crystals can be separated from the dissolved impurities by filtration.
For an example the salt we get from seawater can have many impurities in it. Hence, the process of crystallization is in use to remove these impurities.

15. An electrically neutral atom consists of 15 neutrons, 13 electrons, and a number of protons. What is its mass number?​
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

28

Explanation:

it states that the atom is neutral, meaning the number of electrons and protons are the same. so if there are 13 electrons, there are 13 protons. And the mass number is neutrons plus protons. So 13+15 is 28
