The given reaction is,
Concept introduction:
Oxidation and Oxidizing agent:
In the oxidation process, the electrons are lossed from an atom. A compound that gains electrons during oxidation is known as oxidizing agent.
Reducing and Reducing agent:
Reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom and a compound that loses electrons during reduction is called as a reducing agent.

- Chromium has been investigated as a coating for steel cans. The thickness of the chromium film is determined by dissolving a sample of a can in acid and oxidizing the resulting Cr3+ to Cr2O72 with the peroxydisulfate ion: S2O82(aq) + Cr3+(aq) + H2O(l) Cr2O72(aq) + SO42(aq) + H+(aq) (Unbalanced) After removal of unreacted S2O82 an excess of ferrous ammonium sulfate [Fe(NH4)2(SO4)26H2O] is added, reacting with Cr2O72 produced from the first reaction. The unreacted Fe2+ from the excess ferrous ammonium sulfate is titrated with a separate K2Cr2O7 solution. The reaction is: H+(aq) + Fe2+(aq) + Cr2O72(aq) Fe3+(aq) + Cr3+(aq) + H2O(l) (Unbalanced) a. Write balanced chemical equations for the two reactions. b. In one analysis, a 40.0-cm2 sample of a chromium-plated can was treated according to this procedure. After dissolution and removal of excess S2O82, 3.000 g of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)26H2O was added. It took 8.58 mL of 0.0520 M K2Cr2O7 solution to completely react with the excess Fe2+. Calculate the thickness of the chromium film on the can. (The density of chromium is 7.19 g/cm3)arrow_forwardWhich two of the following reactions are oxidation-reduction reactions? Explain your answer briefly. Classify the remaining reaction. (a) CdC12(aq) + Na2S(aq) CdS(s) + 2 NaCl(aq) (b) 2 Ca(s) + O2(g) 2 CaO(s) (c) 4 Fe(OH)2(s) + 2 H2O() + O2(g) 4 Fe(OH)3(s)arrow_forwardFour metals, A, B, C, and D, exhibit the following properties: (a) Only A and C react with 1.0 M hydrochloric acid to give H2(g). (b) When C is added to solutions of the ions of the other metals, metallic B, D, and A are formed. (c) Metal D reduces Bn+ to give metallic B and Dn+. Based on this information, arrange the four metals in order of increasing ability to act as reducing agents.arrow_forward
- Gold can be dissolved from gold-bearing rock by treating the rock with sodium cyanide in the presence of oxygen. 4 Au(s) + 8 NaCN(aq) + O2(g) + 2 H2O() 4 NaAu(CN)2(aq) + 4 NaOH(aq) (a) Name the oxidizing and reducing agents in this reaction. What has been oxidized, and what has been reduced? (b) If you have exactly one metric ton (1 metric ton = 1000 kg) of gold-bearing rock, what volume of 0.075 M NaCN, in liters, do you need to extract the gold if the rock is 0.019% gold?arrow_forwardMany oxidationreduction reactions can be balanced by inspection. Try to balance the following reactions by inspection. In each reaction, identify the substance reduced and the substance oxidized. a. Al(s) + HCl(aq) AlCl3(aq) + H2(g) b. CH4(g) + S(s) CS2(l) + H2S(g) c. C3H8(g) + O2(g) CO2(g) + H2O(l) d. Cu(s) + Ag+(aq) Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq)arrow_forwardA common laboratory analysis for iron is to titrate aqueous iron(II) ion with a solution of potassium permanganate of precisely known concentration. Use the half-reaction method to write the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction in acid solution. MnO4(aq) + Fe2+(aq) Mn2+(aq) + Fe3+(aq) Identify the oxidizing agent, the reducing agent, the substance oxidized, and the substance reduced (Figure 19.4).arrow_forward
