9. Determine the oxidation numbers for Cu in the superconductor YBa2Cu3O7.Yttrium (Y) has an oxidation number of +3. (Cu does not have oxidation numbers greater than +3.) Give only integer oxidation numbers.


Short Answer

9. Determine the oxidation numbers for Cu in the superconductor YBa2Cu3O7.Yttrium (Y) has an oxidation number of +3. (Cu does not have oxidation numbers greater than +3.) Give only integer oxidation numbers.

Answer: The oxidation numbers for Y, Ba, and O are +3, +2, and −2, respectively. Therefore, the sum of the oxidation numbers for the three Cu atoms must be +7. Two Cu atoms must have +2 oxidation states, and one Cu atom must have a +3 oxidation state.

10. What is an oxidizing agent?


Short Answer

10. What is an oxidizing agent?

Answer: An oxidizing agent is a species that causes another species to be oxidized in a redox reaction. An oxidizing agent is therefore reduced in a redox reaction.

12. Balance the equation for the following reaction in basic solution:

Give the balanced equation for each half-reaction and for the overall reaction. Give the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.

Answer:

Oxidation half-reaction:

Reduction half-reaction:

Overall reaction:

This reaction is a disproportionation reaction; therefore, ClO2 is both the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.
