2I- + 2Fe3+ → I2 + 2Fe2+

In the following equation, which reactant is being reduced?

2Ag+ + Pb → 2Ag + Pb2+

In the following equation, how many electrons are transferred when one zinc atom reacts with one copper (II) ion?

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) ⇋ Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

In the following equation, how many electrons are transferred when one mole of zinc atoms react with one mole copper (II) ions?

Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) ⇋ Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

The following reaction has K > 1. i.e. the product side of the arrow is favored.

Br2 (aq) + Hg (s) ⇋ 2Br- (aq) + Hg2+ (aq)

Identify:

  1. The substance that is oxidized.
  2. The substance that is reduced.
  3. The reducing agent.
  4. The oxidizing agent.
  5. The number of moles of electrons transferred when one mole of reaction takes place.

You may find it helpful to write out the two half equations.
