A reducing agent is one which is oxidised in the reaction itself. When you take into account the oxidation numbers you will see that the Cl- ions are oxidised from an oxidation number of -1 to 0 in Cl2. Therefore Cl- ions are the reducing agent.
Answer:
0.4 M
Explanation:
Molarity is defined as moles of solute, which in your case is sodium hydroxide,
NaOH
, divided by liters of solution.
molarity
=
moles of solute
liters of solution
Notice that the problem provides you with the volume of the solution, but that the volume is expressed in milliliters,
mL
.
Moreover, you don't have the number of moles of sodium hydroxide, you just have the mass in grams. So, your strategy here will be to
determine how many moles of sodium hydroxide you have in that many grams
convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters
So, to get the number of moles of solute, use sodium hydroxide's molar mass, which tells you what the mass of one mole of sodium hydroxide is.

⋅
1 mole NaOH
40.0

=
0.175 moles NaOH
The volume of the solution in liters will be
500
mL
⋅
1 L
1000

=
0.5 L
Therefore, the molarity of the solution will be

=
0.35 M
Rounded to one sig fig, the answer will be
c
=
0.4 M

Hey there!:
Given the reaction:
2 C2H2 + 5 O2 → 4 CO2 + 2 H2O
5 moles O2 ------------- 4 moles CO2
3.00 moles O2 ---------- ( moles of CO2 ?? )
moles of CO2 = 3.00 * 4 / 5
moles of CO2 = 12 / 5
moles of CO2 = 2.4 moles
So, molar mass CO2 = 44.01 g/mol
Therefore:
1 mole CO2 -------------- 44.01 g
2.4 moles CO2 ---------- ( mass of CO2 )
mass of CO2 = 2.4 * 44.01 / 1
mass of CO2 = 106 g
Answer A
Hope that helps!
