(a)
Interpretation: The reactant that oxidized and reduced in the reaction,
Concept Introduction: The species with high electronegativity was found to accept electrons toward it. The gaining of electrons is the reduction and the loss of electrons is oxidation.
(a)
Answer to Problem 37A
The reactant that is oxidized is
Explanation of Solution
In the given reaction the electronegativity of sulfur is high. So, it gains or accepts electrons present in
So,
(b)
Interpretation: The reactant that oxidized and reduced in the reaction,
Concept Introduction: The species with high electronegativity was found to accept electrons toward it. The gaining of electrons is a reduction and the loss of electrons is oxidation.
(b)
Answer to Problem 37A
The reactant that is oxidized is
Explanation of Solution
In the given reaction the electronegativity of
So,
(c)
Interpretation: The reactant that oxidized and reduced in the reaction,
Concept Introduction: The species with high electronegativity was found to accept electrons toward it. The gaining of electrons is a reduction and the loss of electrons is oxidation.
(c)
Answer to Problem 37A
The reactant that is oxidized is S while the reduced is
Explanation of Solution
In the given reaction the electronegativity of oxygen is high. So, it gains or accepts electrons present in S, sulfur. While S is a less electronegative species so it loses its electrons. The reactions are,
So, S is said to be oxidized and
(d)
Interpretation: The reactant that oxidized and reduced in the reaction,
Concept Introduction: The species with high electronegativity was found to accept electrons toward it. The gaining of electrons is a reduction and the loss of electrons is oxidation.
(d)
Answer to Problem 37A
The reactant that is oxidized is
Explanation of Solution
In the given reaction the electronegativity of oxygen is high. So, it gains or accepts electrons present in
So,
