(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For “An oxidizing agent”, the oxidation number increase or decrease in the redox reaction has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Redox reaction: Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction, where both the oxidation and reduction occur at the same time. In a redox reaction, one of the reactant is oxidized and the other is reduced simultaneously.

Oxidation number:

The oxidation number of an element is zero. The oxidation number of a monoatomic ion equals its charge.

The oxidation number is zero for the summation of the oxidation numbers complete atoms in a complete formula.

The charge on the ion is equal to the summation of the oxidation numbers of complete atoms in poly atomic ion.

The oxidation state of alkali metal (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) is +1, and alkaline earth metal is (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) is +2.

The oxidation state of hydrogen is +1 (without bonding with metals), the oxidation state of oxygen is 2.

An oxidizing agent gains the electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction and it is electron acceptor.

A reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized in a chemical reaction and it is electron donor.

The oxidation state is called as oxidation number, which describes degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound. Theoretically, the oxidation state is positive, negative or zero.

Write balanced chemical equations for the reactions used to prepare each of the following compounds from the given starting material(s). In some cases, additional reactants may be required.(a) solid ammonium nitrate from gaseous molecular nitrogen via a two-step process (first reduce the nitrogen to ammonia, then neutralize the ammonia with an appropriate acid)(b) gaseous hydrogen bromide from liquid molecular bromine via a one-step redox reaction(c) gaseous H2S from solid Zn and S via a two-step process (first a redox reaction between the starting materials, then reaction of the product with a strong acid)
Which one(s) of the following reactions is(are) redox reactions? (a) Na (s) + H2O (l) → NaOH (aq) + H2 (g) (b) NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H2O (l) (c) H2O (l) → O2 (g) + H2 (g) (d) Ag+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) → AgCl (s)
Answer true or false. (a) When a substance is oxidized, it loses electrons. (b) When a substance gains electrons, it is reduced. (c) In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent becomes reduced. (d) In a redox reaction, the reducing reagent be comes oxidized. (e) When Zn is converted to Zn2 ion, zinc is oxidized. (f) Oxidation can also be defined as the loss of oxygen atoms and/or the gain of hydrogen atoms. (g) Reduction can also be defmed as the gain of oxygen atoms and/or the loss of hydrogen atoms. (h) When oxygen, O2, is converted to hydrogen per oxide, H2O2, we say that O2 is reduced. (i) Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is an oxidizing agent. (j) All combustion reactions are redox reactions. (k) The products of complete combustion (oxidation) of hydrocarbon fuels are carbon dioxide, water, and heat. (l) In the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, oxygen is the oxidizing agent and the hydrocarbon fuel is the reducing agent.  (m) Incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels can produce significant…
