The answer is B. A good way determine this is how far right the element is on the periodic table. The further right the element is, the more electronegative it is meaning it is more willing to accept an electron. This can be explained using the valence electrons and how many need to be added or removed to complete the octet. The further right you are, the easier it is for the element to just gain a few electrons instead of loose a bunch. Noble gases are the exception to this since they don't normally react though.
Answer: HCl
Explanation:
calcium carbonate dissolves in HCl acid producing CO 2 gas. It will not dissolve in pure water. The Ksp for calcium carbonate in water is 3.4 x 10-9 moldm-3 which is very low. What takes place here is actually a chemical reaction:
CaCO 3 (s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl 2 (aq) + H 2CO 3(aq)
This reaction accounts for the solubility of the Calcium carbonate in HCl and not in pure water.
Answer:
NO2- is the reducing agent.
Cr2O7_2- is the oxidizing agent.
H+ is neither
Explanation:
Reduction is the gain in electron. A chemical specie that undergoes reduction is called the oxidizing agent.
Oxidation is simply the loss in electrons. A chemical specie that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent.
Let us look at the species.
The first specie is the NO2-. In this specie, the oxidation number of nitrogen changed from +3 to +5 in NO3-. Thus we can see that there is more loss of electron to have caused an increase in the oxidation number positively. This shows an oxidation. Hence, NO2- is the reducing agent.
Let us look at the chromium. We can see that the oxidation number of chromium changed from +7 to +3.
Now we can see that it is a decrease and hence, it is a gain of electron and thus it is reduction. This means the first chromium specie is the oxidizing agent.
The hydrogen ion is simply placed there to balance the ions and hence it is neither the oxidizing nor the reducing agent.
<span>NaCl is poster-compound for ionic bonding. The bonds in NaCl have about 70% ionic character, making the bond highly polar. its overstatement to state that there is actual ion in NaCl with +1 and -1 charge but actual charge of Na and Cl is +1 and -1 ion, since Nacl exist as a network of highly charged particle and not discrete molecule, NaCl particle does not exhibit intermolecular forces.
Water molecule on other hand exhibit London dispersion force, keesom force, and hydrogen bonding.
The polar water molecule are attracted to the polarized Na and Cl atoms. This is what allow NaCl(s) to dissolve and ionize in water. Therefore type of attraction in NaCl is ion-dipole attraction.</span>
