With reference to present question, following things may be noted
1) Oxidation is process of lose of electron. Atom//ion undergoing oxidation is refereed as reducing agent
2) Reduction is process of gain of electron. Atom/ion undergoing reduction is refereed as oxidizing agent.

in present system, Ag+ gain an electron to reduced to Ag. Therefore, Ag+ is an oxidizing agent.

Answer: The oxidizing agent for the given reaction is Silver.

Explanation:

Oxidizing agent is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to get oxidized and itself gets reduced. It undergoes reduction reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of this substance gets reduced and the substance gets reduced.

Reducing agent is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. It undergoes oxidation reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of this substance gets increased and the substance gets oxidized.

For the given chemical reaction:

$Pb+2Ag^+\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2Ag$

The half reactions for the given above chemical reaction is:

Oxidation half reaction: $Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $2Ag^++2e^-\rightarrow 2Ag$

As, lead is loosing electrons. So, it is getting oxidized and is considered as a reducing agent and silver is gaining electrons. So, it is getting reduced and is considered as an oxidizing agent.

Thus, the correct answer is silver.

A mass of 5.4 grams of aluminum (al) reacts with an excess of copper (ii) chloride (cucl2) in solution, as shown below. 3cucl2 2

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Mass of copper produced is 19.07g

Explanation:

Let's bring out the chemical equation;

3CuCl2 + 2Al → 2AlCl3 + 3Cu

3 : 2 : 2 : 3

Upon confirming that the reaction is indeed balanced, we can proceed.

The questions asks to calculate mass of Cu formed when a mass of 5.4g of Al is being used.

From the equation, what is the relationship between Al and Cu?

2 mol of Al would react to form 3 mol of Cu

Expressing this in terms of mass, we have;

mass = no. of moles * molar mass

Mass of Aluminium = 2 * 26.98 = 53.98 g

Mass of Copper = 3 * 63.546 = 190.638g

This means;

53.98 g of Al would react to form 190.638g of Cu

So how much Cu would form from 5.4 g of Al?

This leads us to;

53.98 = 190.638

5.4 = x

Upon cross multiplication, we are left with;

x = (190.638 * 5.4) / 53.98

x = 19.07 g

Mass of copper produced is 19.07g

How does the equilibrium change to counter the removal of A in this reaction? A + B ⇌ AB

atroni [7]

To counter the removal of A the equilibrium change by shifting toward the left

explanation

If the reaction is at equilibrium and we alter the condition a new equilibrium state is created

The removal of A led to the shift of equilibrium toward the left since it led to less molecules in reactant side which favor the backward reaction.( equilibrium shift to the left)

Consider the reaction. X ( g ) + Y ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − Z ( g ) K p = 1.00 at 300 K In which direction will the net reaction proceed fo

marta [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have in this question the equilibrium

X ( g ) + Y ( g ) ⇆ Z ( g )

With the equilibrium contant Kp = pZ/(pX x pY)

The moment we change the concentration of Y, we are changing effectively the partial pressure of Y since pressure and concentration are directly proportional

pV = nRT ⇒ p = nRT/V and n/V is molarity.

Therefore we can calculate the reaction quotient Q

Qp = pZ/(pX x pY) = 1/ 1 x 0.5 atm = 2

Since Qp is greater than Kp the system proceeds from right to left.

We could also arrive to the same conclusion by applying LeChatelier´s principle which states that any disturbance in the equilibrium, the system will react in such a way to counteract the change to restore the equilibrium. Therefore, by having reduced the pressure of Y the system will react favoring the reactants side increasing some of the y pressure until restoring the equilibrium Kp = 1.

Watch the video to determine which of the following relationships correctly depict the relationship between pressure and volume

AnnZ [28]

Answer : The correct options are,

(B) $V\propto \frac{1}{P}$

(C) $P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

or,

$V\propto \frac{1}{P}$

The relation between the pressure and volume of two gases are:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas

$V_2$ = final volume of gas

The human body can get energy by metabolizing proteins, carbohydrates or fatty acids, depending on the circumstances. Roughly sp

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

3:1

Explanation:

Stearic acid - C18H36O2

Fructose- C6H12O6

Since the energy content of food is roughly proportional to the carbon content. It means:

C18/C6 = 3 or 3:1

This explains why fats and oil are the major source of energy in the body and not carbohydrates. This is due to Fats and oil having larger amounts of Carbon compared to Carbohydrates.
