Which substance is the oxidizing agent in this reaction? 2CuO+C→2Cu+CO2 Express your answer as a chemical formula.

1 answer:

3 0

The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced in the reaction. In this reaction, the charge of Cu falls from +2 to zero charge (neutral atom in the right side). Hence, CuO is the oxidizing agent. The reducing agent, the one being oxidized is carbon from zero charge to +4. The answer is CuO.

The Lewis structure for CO2 has a central The Lewis structure for C O 2 has a central blank atom attached to blank atoms.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

1) The Lewis structure for $CO_2$ has a central Carbon atom attached to Oxygen atoms.

In the $CO_2$ we will have a structure: O=C=O the central atom "carbon" we will have 2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds, therefore, we have an Sp hybridization. For O we have 1 pi and 1 sigma bond, therefore, we have an Sp2 hybridization.

2) These atoms are held together by double bonds.

Again in the structure of $CO_2$ : O=C=O we only have double bonds.

3. Carbon dioxide has a Carbon dioxide has a Linear electron geometry.

Due to the double bonds we have to have a linear structure because in this geometry the atoms will be further apart from each other.

4. The carbon atom is Sp hybridized.

We will have for carbon 2 pi bonds, so we will have an Sp hybridization.

5. Carbon dioxide has two Carbon dioxide has two C(p) - O(p) π bonds and two C(sp) - O(Sp2) σ bonds.

Based on the tiles shown, how many moles of oxygen gas (o2) are needed to produce 36.04 grams of water (h2o) when reacting with

madreJ [45]

We calculate for the number of moles of water given its mass by dividing the given mass by the molar mass.
n water = (36.04 g) / (18 g/mol)
n water = 2 mols
From the given balanced equation, every 6 moles of water produced will require 7 moles of oxygen.
n oxygen = (2 mols H2O) x (7 moles O2 / 6 moles H2O)
n oxygen = 2.33 mols O2
