Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Oxidizing agent and reducing agent has to be identified in the given reaction.
Concept Introduction:
In
In redox reactions, reducing agent is the one that gets oxidized by causing reduction. These agents can be ions, elements, or even compounds. In reduction, the oxidation number decreases due to gain of electrons.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- The carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forward4.22 Generally, an excess of O2 is needed for the reaction Sn+O2SnO2 .

- Another component of acid rain is nitric acid, which forms when NO2, also a pollutant, reacts with oxygen and water according to the simplified equation 4NO2(g)+O2(g)+2H2O(l) → 4HNO3(aq) The generation of the electricity used in a medium-sized home produces about 16 kg of NO2 per year. Assuming that there is adequate O2 and H2O, what mass of HNO3, in kg, can form from this amount of NO2 pollutant? Express the mass to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced chemical equation for the neutralization of aqueous perchloric acid, HClO4 (aq),with aqueous barium hydroxide.
