Answer: For F_{2} + H_{2} \rightarrow 2HF, F_{2} is the oxidizing agent and H_{2} is the reducing agent.

For 2Mg + O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO, Mg is the reducing agent and O_{2} is the oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

An oxidizing agent is defined as the substance which tends to oxidize other substances by itself gaining electrons. As a result, there will occur a decrease in its oxidation state.

On the other hand, a substance which tends to reduce other substances by itself losing electrons is known as an reducing agent. There will occur an increase in oxidation state of a reducing agent.

For example, F_{2} + H_{2} \rightarrow 2HF

Oxidation: H_{2} \rightarrow 2H^{+} + 2e^{-}

Reduction: F + 1e^{-} \rightarrow F^{-}

Hence, here F_{2} is the oxidizing agent and H_{2} is the reducing agent.

Also,

     2Mg + O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO

Oxidation: Mg \rightarrow Mg^{2+} + 2e^{-}

Reduction: O_{2} + 2e^{-} \rightarrow O

Hence, here Mg is the reducing agent and O_{2} is the oxidizing agent.

An analogy is the closest way to compare something to another that may not be related so that would be my pick. If that’s not it I guess he could maybe be making an observational opinion about it? Good luck hope this helped. Analogy

For the Ag ground-state ion, predict the type of orbital from which an electron will need to be removed to form the ion of great
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

For the Ag ground-state ion, the type of orbital from which an electron will need to be removed to form the ion of greater positive charge is :

<u>s-orbital</u>

Explanation:

Naming of orbitals :

s = s-orbital

p = p-orbital

d = d-orbital

The electronic configuration of Ag is :

[Kr]4d^{10}5s^{1}

The Outermost shell = 5s

so electron should be removed from 5s . there is only 1 electron in 5s -shell. Hence , Ag exist +1 oxidation state.

According to Aufbau's Rule : Electron will be filled first in lower energy orbital.

The electron should be removed first ,from the higher energy orbital.This is because high energy orbitals are away from the nucleus and can be easily removed. The outermost electron feel less attraction of the nucleus

Ionization energy : Energy required to remove the electron from the outermost shell of the element in the gaseous state.

Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+} +e^{-}

Hence it will form Ag+ cation

<u>Ag+:</u>

[Kr]4d^{10}

Outer shell is removed after loss of electron.

How many molecules of ascorbic acid (vitamin c, c6h8o6) are in a 500 mg tablet?
Elden [556K]
1) molar mass of the C6H8O<span>6, you need to consult the atomic weight of the C, H and O atoms that are in the periodic table: C is 12; H is 1; O is 16
(12x6)+(1x8)+(16x6)= 176g/mol

</span><span>176 g = 1 mol
0,5 g =  x mol                500mg= 0,5 grams

molar mass = mass÷ moles
176 = 0,5÷ x
x= 2,84 x 10⁻³ mol

2) To find the number of molecules present in those </span>2,84 x 10⁻³ mol we need to multiple the moles by the <span>Avogadro's constant
No. of molecules = Avogadro's constant  x n° of moles
</span>No. of molecules = 6.022 x 10²³ x 2,84 x 10⁻³ <span>
= 1.71 x 10²¹ molecules of vit C. </span>
