Question

Chemical Reaction 5. Answer the following questions about the reaction: S2 +2NO; + 502 +2NO a. Element oxidized b. Element reduced c. Reducing reactant d. Oxidizing reactant

Answer 1

Sol?=> 5) Answer the following questions about the recention. 2- S + 2 poz soy + 2 No. ay Element oxidized : s .cs) =) Ordution's addition of Ozegen or removal of hydrogen Called onidation. In s²- add oxygen to form soy. Hence 52 is ouidized species of 5 is szeidized element. by Element reduced = N (NO) =) Reduction - Removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen called reduction. In ploj remove orggen atom to form No , Hence NO3 is reduced species t Nis reduced element. Reducing reultant => 52- = Reducing rectant :- It is also called reducing agent. The species which cause reduction caled reducing agent. 5² cause reduction. Hence 5² is redueing agent. dj oxidising gluctant =) Noz => oxidising reultant! It is also called odcidising agent. The species which cause oxidation called osudising agent. Nog cause oxidution. Hence Nos is ouvidising agent.
