Interpretation:
The reactant that is oxidized and the reactant that is reduced in the given reaction are to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Redox reactions are the reactions in which one of the reactants gets oxidized and the other gets reduced simultaneously. The reactant that oxidizes the other substance is known as oxidizing agent. The oxidizing agent gets reduced in the reaction. The reactant that reduces the other substance is known as reducing agent. The reducing agent gets oxidized in the reaction. An increase in oxidation number of a substance indicates that the substance got oxidized, whereas, a decrease in the oxidation number of a substance indicates that the substance got reduced. The addition of oxygen or the removal of hydrogen is termed as oxidation. The addition of hydrogen or the removal of oxygen is termed as reduction.

- Reagan is doing an atomic absorption experiment that requires a set of zinc standards in the 0.4-1.6 ppm range. A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer. a. Compare the solution concentrations expressed as ppm Zn and ppm Zn(NO3)2. Compare the concentrations expressed as M Zn and M Zn(NO3)2 - Which units allow easy conversion between chemical species (e.g. Zn and Zn(NO3)2)? - Which units express concentrations in numbers with easily expressed magnitudes? - Suppose you have an analyte for which you don't know the molar…arrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardHow will you prepare the following buffers? 2.5 L of 1.5M buffer, pH = 10.5 from NH4Cl and NH3arrow_forward
