Interpretation: Type of redox reaction that leads to decrease in number of substances should be determined.
Concept introduction:Change in oxidation number of a molecule, ion or atom in reaction is termed as redox reaction. It occurs due to electron transfer between two species.
Oxidizing agent is substance that gains its electrons. It reduces itself and oxidizes other species in chemical reaction. Reducing agent is substance that loses its electrons in reaction. Thus, reduces others and oxidizes it.

Principles of General Chemistry
- A student weighs out a 4.80-g sample of aluminum bromide, transfers it to a 100-mL volumetric flask, adds enough water to dissolve it, and then adds water to the 100-mL mark. What is the molarity of aluminum bromide in the resulting solution?arrow_forwardMany over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a solute and a solvent?arrow_forward
