Why is it important to make measurements using a standard?

1 answer:

7 0

A standard unit of measurement is a quantifiable language that helps everyone understand the association of the object with the measurement. It is expressed in inches, feet, and pounds, in the United States, and centimeters, meters, and kilograms in the metric system.

In the following reaction, identify the oxidized species, reduced species, oxidizing agent, and reducing agent. Be sure to answe

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer :

$Cl_2$ is reduced species.

$KI$ is oxidized species.

$Cl_2$ is oxidizing agent.

$KI$ is reducing agent.

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The balanced redox reaction is :

$Cl_2(aq)+2KI(aq)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq)+I_2(aq)$

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction : $2I^-\rightarrow I_2+2e^-$

Reduction reaction : $Cl_2^++2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl^-$

From this we conclude that the $'KI'$ is the reducing agent that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets oxidized and $'Cl_2'$ is the oxidizing agent that gain an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets reduced.

Thus, $Cl_2$ is reduced species.

$KI$ is oxidized species.

$Cl_2$ is oxidizing agent.

$KI$ is reducing agent.

Almost. treating an acyl chloride with a grignard reagent tends to form (via two steps) an alcohol. what reagent forms the keton

PIT_PIT [208]

Reaction of Acyl Halides with Grignard reagent results in the formation of Ketones in first step. While in second step reaction of Grignard reagent with Ketones results in the formation of Tertiary Alcohols.

If you want to stop the reaction at Ketone stage then you are required to use another mild reactive organometallic compound. In our case we will use Organocuprates. Organocuprates are also known as Gilman Reagents. These reagents does not add to ketones, aldehydes and esters but they can add to acid halides to produce Ketones.
