A student dissolved a 0.139g sample of oxalic acid, H2C2O4, in water in an Erlenmeyer flask. Then the student titrated the H2C2O4 solution in the flask with a solution of KMnO4, which has a dark purple color. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurred during the titration is shown above. (a) Identify the species that was reduced in the titration reaction. Justify your answer in terms of oxidation numbers.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

MnO4 − was reduced

C2 O4^2- was oxidized

Explanation:

2MnO4 −(aq)  +5H +(aq)  +2 C2 O4^2-(aq)  +6H+(aq)  →2Mn2+(aq) + 10CO2(g)  +8H2 O(l)

A redox reaction is characterized by a change in the oxidation number of reacting species from left to right in the reaction equation.

If we look at Manganese, its oxidation number was decreased from +7 on the left hand side to +2 on the right hand side. This implies that it gained five electrons. recall that reduction refers to electron gain.

If we look at carbon, its oxidation number increased from +3 on the left hand side to +4 on the right hand side. This indicates loss of one electron and oxidation refers to electron loss.

Answer 2

MnO₄⁻ was reduced and C₂O₄²⁻ was oxidized in the titration.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction can be expressed as:

[tex]\mathbf{6H^+_{(aq0} + 2MnO_4^-_{(aq)} + 5H_2C_2O_4 _{(aq)} \to 10CO_{2(g)} +8H_2O_{(l)} + 2Mn^{2+}_{(aq)}}[/tex]

A redox reaction can be described by a variation in the oxidation number of reacting species in the chemical reaction equation from the reactant side to the product side

Oxidation takes place when a substance(atom, molecule, or compound) loses an electronReduction occurs when a substance gains an electron.

Let consider Mn in MnO₄⁻, its oxidation number was decreased from +7 on the reactant side to +2 on the product side. This shows a gain of additional five electrons.

Thus, MnO₄⁻ is reduced.

Also in C₂O₄²⁻, the oxidation number of carbon increases from +3 on the reactant side to +4 on the product side. Since an electron is lost, then oxidation  occurs at C₂O₄²⁻

A chemist burns 0.8 g of iron in oxygen.
The iron reacts to form 1.1 g of iron oxide.
Calculate the mass of oxygen that reacted with the iron.

Answers

Answer:

0.3g

Explanation:

1.1 - 0.8 = 0.3

Hope this helps

The mass of oxygen that reacted with the iron is 0.3g

The chemist burns 0.8g of iron in oxygen

the iron reacts to form 1.1g of iron oxide

Therefore the mass of oxygen can be calculated by subtracting the mass of iron in oxygen from the mass of iron

= 1.1 - 0.8

= 0.3g

Hence the mass of oxygen that reacted with the iron is 0.3g

What is the relationship between the atomic mass of an element and a mole of that element's atoms?

Answers

Answer:

Each ion, or atom, has a particular mass; similarly, each mole of a given pure substance also has a definite mass. The mass of one mole of atoms of a pure element in grams is equivalent to the atomic mass of that element in atomic mass units (amu) or in grams per mole (g/mol).

Explanation:

The relationship between the given terms is provided below throughout the below segment.

One mole of such a component's atomic weights is approximately equivalent to that component's atomic mass. This same atomic mass of the oxygen element, for example, is about 16g. As a result, one mole containing oxygen atoms equals 16g of oxygen ([tex]O_2[/tex]). 1 mole containing oxygen atoms weighs 16g.

We can say that,

→ [tex]1 \ mole \ in \ gram \ of \ an \ element = Atomic \ mass \ of \ an \ element[/tex]

Define the terms below:
● Axis:
● Rotation:
● Revolution:
● Elliptical Orbit:

Answers

Answer:

Axis

Anatomy

In anatomy, the second cervical vertebra of the spine is named the axis or epistropheus. By the atlanto-axial joint, it forms the pivot upon which the first cervical vertebra, which carries the head, rotates.

Rotation

A rotation is a circular movement of an object around a center of rotation. A three-dimensional object can always be rotated about an infinite number of imaginary lines called rotation axis. If the axis passes through the body's center of mass, the body is said to rotate upon itself, or spin.

Revolution

In political science, a revolution is a fundamental and relatively sudden change in political power and political organization which occurs when the population revolts against the government, typically due to perceived oppression or political incompetence.

Elliptic orbit

In astrodynamics or celestial mechanics, an elliptic orbit or elliptical orbit is a Kepler orbit with an eccentricity of less than 1; this includes the special case of a circular orbit, with eccentricity equal to 0. In a stricter sense, it is a Kepler orbit with the eccentricity greater than 0 and less than 1.

Electrons are stupidly small and fast so they don't really count towards the weight. Most mas comes from neutrons and protons in the nucleus

Answer:

2,3,4,5

1st is wrong cuz if u change the number of proton it would change the atomic number which results in different element
