What is an oxidizing agent

A substance that oxidizes another substance

Any chemical substance that has a tendency to accept electrons and thereby undergoing reduction themselves is known as an oxidising agent.

An oxidizer is a compound that supplies its own oxygen and heat when in contact with organic compounds. These chemicals that can react vigorously and explode.

Oxidizers are compounds which are capable of reacting with and oxidizing (i.e., giving off oxygen) other materials. A well known example of oxidation is the process we know as corrosion, where the metal reacts with air to form the metal oxides referred to as "rust".

The primary hazard associated with this class of compounds lies in their ability to act as an oxygen source, and thus to readily stimulate the combustion of organic materials. As you may recall, it takes three components for a fire to happen - a fuel source (usually an organic compound, such as paper), an ignition source (such as a flame, a spark, friction, etc.) and an oxygen source (in this case - a cylinder of OXYGEN, a strong oxidizer).

Oxidizers may be grouped into 4 classes based on their ability to affect the burning rate of combustible materials or undergo self-sustained decomposition. This classification system was established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 43A, 1980) as a means to provide information on safe storage of oxidizing materials.

Class 1: An oxidizing material whose primary hazard is that it may increase the burning rate of combustible material with which it comes in contact

Class 2: An oxidizing material that will moderately increase the burning rate of which may cause spontaneous ignitionof combustible material with which it ocmes in contact.

Class 3: An oxidizing material that will cause a severe increase in the burning rate of combustible material with which it comes in contact or which will undergo vigorous self-substained decomposition when catalyzed or exposed to heat.

Class 4: An oxidizing material that can undergo an explosive reaction when catalyzed or exposed to heat, shock or friction.

How is electroplating done

the metal on which electroplating is to be done is taken as cathode ( negative electrode) . the metal of which electroplating is to be done is taken as anode ( positive electrode) and the salt solution of the metal of which electroplating is to be done is taken as electrolyte .

example-

if we want to electroplate iron with copper then iron is taken as cathode and copper is taken as anode and electrolyte is copper sulphate.Electroplating is the process of plating one metal onto another by hydrolysis, most commonly for decorative purposes. This is done through the use of copper in a copper sulfate bath.

What does the average atomic mass represent

The average atomic mass represents the weighted average of the masses of the isotopes of the element.

How do atoms show both unity and diversity

There are relatively few atoms, but they make many molecules.

What makes balancing redox reactions different from balancing other reactions

Balancing redox reactions is different from balancing other reactions because both the number of atoms and the amount of charge must be balanced.

What happens to the anode in an electrochemical cell

it loses mass

How are the oxygen atoms balanced for redox equations in basic solutions

H2O and OH- are added to balance the oxygen atoms.

Which is the least likely to be reduced

Mg2+

What is the oxidizing agent in the reaction Fe AgNO3 FeNO33 Ag

AgNO3 #APEX

What is the standard reduction potential E for the half-reaction Al3 aq 3e- Als

-1.68

What would be the percent yield of the reaction be if the theoretical yield is 11.22 g but the actual yield was 8.67 g

In this case the yield is 77,27 %.

Which of the following statements describes electromagnetism

Magnetism can create electricity, and electricity can create magnetism.

What of the following best describes electroplating

Depositing one metal on another

Which is the most likely to be reduced

something about "native" should be ur answer..apex
