The atom that is oxidized : Cr

The oxidizing agent : H₃PO₄

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

2 H₃PO₄ (aq) + 2Cr(s) → 2 CrPO₄ (aq) + 3H₂(g)

Atoms undergoing a reduction reaction (decrease in oxidation number) and an oxidation reaction (increase in oxidation number)

  • Reduction (+1 to 0)

H⁺(in H₃PO₄) =+1

H₂=0

  • Oxidation (0 to +3)

Cr = 0

Cr³⁺(in CrPO₄ )

the oxidizing agent.⇒which undergoes a reduction reaction and oxidizes another compound/element : H₃PO₄

A chemical reaction that has a positive δg is correctly described as
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Endergonic reaction or nonspontaneous reaction.

Explanation:

Gibbs free energy is a state function that determines the spontaneity or feasibility of the given reversible chemical reaction, at fixed pressure and temperature. It is given by the equation:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

Here, ΔG - change in Gibbs free energy

ΔH- The change in enthalpy of reaction

ΔS - The change in entropy

T- Temperature

When the <u>change in the Gibbs free energy for a given reaction is positive</u> (ΔG > 0), then that chemical reaction is known as an endergonic reaction or nonspontaneous reaction.

Which temperatures originally represented the fixed points<br> Celsius temperature scale?
frez [133]

Answer:Since 1743 the Celsius scale has been based on 0 °C for the freezing point of water and 100 °C for the boiling point of water at 1 atm pressure. Prior to 1743 the values were reversed (i.e. the boiling point was 0 degrees and the freezing point was 100 degrees).

Mercury can be obtained by reacting mercury(I) sulfide with calcium oxide. How many grams of calcium oxide are needed to produce
OLga [1]
First, 55 g of Hg is 3.65 moles because one mole of Hg has a molar mass of 200.59

Then, the mole ratio of Hg to CaO is 8:4 or 2:1. SO we divide 3.65 by 2 to get 1.82 moles of CaO

This is the same as 102.06 grams because one mole of CaO has a molar mass of 56.0774

Hope this helps!

When potassium metal is placed in water a large amount of energy is released as potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produce
Ann [662]

Explanation:

2K(s)+2H_2O\rightarrow 2KOH(aq)+H_2(g)

The given reaction is redox reaction but not combustion reaction.

Redox reaction : It is a chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction occurs simultaneously.Oxidation is gaining of electrons and reduction is loosing of electrons.

K\rightarrow K^++e^- oxidation

2H^++2e^-\rightarrow H_2 reduction

Potassium when reacts with water ,gives potassium ion in aqueous medium and combines with hydroxide ion present in water to form potassium hydroxide where as H^+ ions of water by gaining electrons (from potassium in water) gives hydrogen gas.

Hence , yes it is a redox reaction

Combustion reaction are the chemical reaction in which one reactant react with oxygen molecule to give heat and light.

Here in given reaction no oxygen molecule is appearing on reactant side.

Hence not a combustion reaction.
