Interpretation: To draw the structure of
Concept introduction: polyphosphoric acids have linear chains and hence are called linear polyphosphoric acids. In the structure of polyphosphate ion,
Polymetaphosphates are the salts of polymetaphosphoric acids. These acids are represented by the general formula

Which reactant has been oxidized, and which has been reduced? Which reactant is the oxidizing agent, and which is the reducing agent?arrow_forward
- The reaction of calcium hydride, CaH2, with water can be characterized as a Lewis acid-base reaction: Identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base among the reactants. The reaction is also an oxidation-reduction reaction. Identify the oxidizing agent, the reducing agent, and the changes in oxidation number that occur in the reaction.arrow_forwardNitric acid (HNO3) reacts with iodide ions (I-) to form iodine (I2) and nitrogen oxide (NO) in an acidic aqueous solution. Write the balanced equation for this reaction.arrow_forwardThe amount of sodium hypochlorite in a bleach solution can be determined by using a given volume of bleach to oxidize excess iodide ion to iodine; ClO- is reduced to Cl-. The amount of iodine produced by the redox reaction is determined by titration with sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3; I2 is reduced to I-. The sodium thiosulfate is oxidized to sodium tetrathionate, Na2S4O6. In this analysis, potassium iodide was added in excess to 5.00 mL of bleach (d=1.00g/cm3) . If 25.00 mL of 0.0700 M Na2S2O3 was required to reduce all the iodine produced by the bleach back to iodide, what is the mass percent of NaClO in the bleach?arrow_forward
