Answer:

What is atmospheric pressure? -------> Atmospheric pressure is a force in an area pushed against a surface by the weight of the atmosphere of Earth, a layer of air.

Why does the atmosphere exert pressure? -------> Because gas particles in the air—like particles of all fluids—are constantly moving and bumping into things, so they exert pressure.

What is the value of atmospheric pressure at sea level, in newtons per square centimeter? -------> Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 10 N/cm2 or 100 kPa or about 10 m of water or about 760 mm of mercury, but varies with the weather, and of course altitude.

I hope this helps and have a great day!

Identify the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following electron transfe

Vesna [10]

Answer:

In the given chemical reaction:

Species Oxidized: I⁻

Species Reduced: Fe³⁺

Oxidizing agent: Fe³⁺

Reducing agent: I⁻

As the reaction proceeds, electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺

Explanation:

Redox reaction is a chemical reaction involving the simultaneous movement of electrons thereby causing oxidation of one species and reduction of the other species.

The chemical species that gets reduced by gaining electrons is called an oxidizing agent. Whereas, the chemical species that gets oxidized by losing electrons is called a reducing agent.

Given redox reaction: 2Fe³⁺ + 2I⁻ → 2Fe²⁺ + I₂

Oxidation half-reaction: 2 I⁻ + → I₂ + 2 e⁻ ....(1)

Reduction half-reaction: [ Fe³⁺ + 1 e⁻ → Fe²⁺ ] × 2

⇒ 2 Fe³⁺ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Fe²⁺ ....(2)

In the given redox reaction, Fe³⁺ (oxidation state +3) accepts electrons and gets reduced to Fe²⁺ (oxidation state +2) and I⁻ (oxidation state -1) loses electrons and gets oxidized to I₂ (oxidation state 0).

Therefore, Fe³⁺ is the oxidizing agent and I⁻ is the reducing agent and the electrons are transferred from I⁻ to Fe³⁺.

Write a balanced overall reaction from these unbalanced half-reactions. ln->ln3+ cd2+->cd

DochEvi [55]

Oxidation reaction
In ---> In³⁺ + 3e ---1)
reduction reaction
Cd²⁺ + 2e ---> Cd ---2)
when balancing the reactions, electrons have to be balanced. to balance the electrons multiple 1st reaction by 2 and 2nd reaction by 3
1) x 2
2) x 3
2In ---> 2In³⁺ + 6e
3Cd²⁺ + 6e ---> 3Cd
add the 2 equations to obtain the overall reaction

2In + 3Cd²⁺ ---> 2In³⁺ + 3Cd

When metallic aluminum is added to a solution containing iron(II) sulfate a reaction occurs. What species is being oxidized in t

REY [17]

Answer: Aluminium is getting oxidized in the given chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Al(s)+3FeSO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq.)+3Fe(s)$

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

As, aluminium is loosing 3 electrons to form aluminium cation. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Iron is gaining 2 electrons to form iron anion. Thus, it is getting reduced.

Hence, the oxidized species of the given reaction is aluminium.
