Hi!! pls i need help!
1) Mg + Al2(So4)3
2)Fe + CuSO4
3)Mg + CuSO4
4)Zn + CuSO4
5)Mg + FeSO4
FOR ALL 5:
a)balanced eq
b)ionic equation
c) net ionic
PLEASE HELP ME..THERE ARE SOO MANY MORE QUESTIONS I NEED TO DO!!!:(
Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in each of the reactions that proceeded spontaneously (the 5 above).....THANKYOU SO MUCH!! IF U HELP ITS VERY APPRECIATED!!!
See your post above.
For oxidizing agent and reducing agent here is what you do.
Oxdn is loss of electrons--that substance is the reducing agent.
Reduction is the gain of electrons--that substance is the oxidizing agent.
Of course! I'd be happy to help you with these chemical reactions.
Before we start, it's important to note that the balanced equation represents the overall reaction, while the ionic equation shows the dissociation of ions in solution, and the net ionic equation excludes spectator ions.
Let's go through each reaction one by one:
1) Mg + Al2(SO4)3
a) To balance this equation, we need to ensure that the number of atoms on both sides is the same. The balanced equation is:
2Al + 3MgSO4 -> Al2(SO4)3 + 3Mg
b) The ionic equation shows the dissociation of the compounds in solution, which is:
2Al + 3Mg2+ + 3SO42- -> Al2(SO4)3 + 3Mg2+
c) The net ionic equation removes the spectator ions (those that don't participate in the reaction), resulting in:
2Al(s) -> Al2(SO4)3(s)
2) Fe + CuSO4
a) The balanced equation is:
Fe + CuSO4 -> FeSO4 + Cu
b) The ionic equation is:
Fe + Cu2+ + SO42- -> Fe2+ + CuSO4
c) The net ionic equation is:
Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) -> Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s)
3) Mg + CuSO4
a) The balanced equation is:
Mg + CuSO4 -> MgSO4 + Cu
b) The ionic equation is:
Mg + Cu2+ + SO42- -> MgSO4 + Cu
c) The net ionic equation is:
Mg(s) + Cu2+(aq) -> Mg2+(aq) + Cu(s)
4) Zn + CuSO4
a) The balanced equation is:
Zn + CuSO4 -> ZnSO4 + Cu
b) The ionic equation is:
Zn + Cu2+ + SO42- -> ZnSO4 + Cu
c) The net ionic equation is:
Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) -> Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)
5) Mg + FeSO4
a) The balanced equation is:
Mg + FeSO4 -> MgSO4 + Fe
b) The ionic equation is:
Mg + Fe2+ + SO42- -> MgSO4 + Fe
c) The net ionic equation is:
Mg(s) + Fe2+(aq) -> Mg2+(aq) + Fe(s)
Remember, to balance an equation, you need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides. For the ionic equations, you should consider the dissociation of the compounds into ions. And for the net ionic equation, omit the spectator ions.
