Is kerosene inorganic or organic?
It is organic substance
A substance that shows a decrease in oxidation number during chemical reaction?
oxidising agent
Is kerosene a fatty substance?
Yes, it is an oil. It consists of aliphatic carbons.
Is kerosene and water a substance or a mixture?
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons. Kerosene is a hydrocarbon extracted from petroleum through fractional distillation. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons with different number of carbon atoms(10-14). The boiling point RANGE of kerosene is 170-250 degrees Celsius.
Which one is oxidising between sodium an chlorine?
chlorine is oxidising
What are some example of oxidising?
Oxidising is and substance that provides oxygen and let the other substance burn more fiercely
Is kerosene a heterogeneous substance?
Yes. Kerosene is a heterogeneous substance i.e. a mixture.
Where can oxidising symbol be found?
on the bottle of the substance
What is the relationship between oxidising agent and the reduced substance?
Its the substance reduced which is termed to be an oxidizing agent. When a substance is reduced, it loses electrons that are taken up by another substance thereby oxidizing another substance (oxidising agent).
Is kerosene inorganic or organic?
It is organic substance
A substance that shows a decrease in oxidation number during chemical reaction?
oxidising agent
Is mixed kerosene and water a substance or a mixture?
Substance is not a sharply differentiated word. Kerosene and water would are a mixture (to the extent that they will mix), but they could also be termed a substance as mixtures can be substances under some uses of the word substance. However mixtures can be differentiated from solutions and compounds -- kerosene and water is not a solution nor a compound.
Why kerosene is soluble in iodine?
Kerosene is non polar. Iodine is also non polar substance. Like substances dissolve like substances. Therefore, kerosene should dissolve well in kerosene
What things from superstores have the oxidising symbol mean?
'Oxidising' is a substance that provides oxygen to allow things to burn more. For example the sodium nitrate I hope this helped because it is what I am learning at school! =)
What is used to test for reducing and oxidising agents?
When some substances are oxidised or reduced, there is a colour change.Testing for a reducing agent:An oxidising agent is a substance that causes another substance to be oxidised & is itself reduced. Acidified potassium manganate (VII) is an example of one. While it oxidises other substances, the manganate ion is reduced (because the oxidation state decreases showing that reduction is occuring) :MnO4- --> Mn2+oxdations state:+VII+2colour:PinkColourlessSo, to see if an unknown substance is a reducing agent, add acidifies potassium manganate (VII) to see if the pink colour fades. If it does, you know the unknown substance was a reducing agent, because it caused reduction.Testing for an oxidising agent:A reducing agent is a substance which causes reduction, but is oxidised itself. Potassium iodide is a powerful reducing agent. While it reduces other substances, the iodide ion is oxidised (because the oxidising state increases) resulting in a colour change:2I- -->I2Oxidising state:-10 (the oxidising state of a diatomic molecule is 0)Colour:ColourlessRed-brownSo, to see if an unknown substance is an oxidising agent, add potassium iodide to see if a red-brown colour appears. If it does, you know your unknown substance is an oxidising agent because it caused a reduction
Is kerosene a fatty substance?
Yes, it is an oil. It consists of aliphatic carbons.
What does oxidising mean in science?
The oxidizing hazard symbol means the substance has the ability to react with oxygen, usually dangerously.
