(a)
Interpretation: The atoms that are oxidized and the ones that are reduced form the given compounds.
Concept introduction:
A reaction that involves both oxidation and reduction is known as a
Reduction occurs when an atom of a molecule or ionic species gains an electron.
Oxidation occurs when an atom of a molecule or ionic species losses an electron.
(b)
Interpretation: A balanced form of the given chemical equation for the given reaction.
Concept introduction:
A balanced chemical equation is based on the law of conservation of mass for a closed system. According to this law, the mass of the products formed in a
(c)
Interpretation: The amount of sodium cyanide solution required to react with of rock that contains 2.00 % by mass of gold.
Concept introduction: The mass % of component is given by:
Molarity is given by:
Thus, volume of solution is calculated by above formula.
