Why is it more appropriate to write the redox reaction (a) as 6CO2(g) + 12H2O(l) ® C6H12O6(aq) + 6H2O(l) + 6O2(g)?
Why is it more appropriate to write the redox reaction (a) as 6CO2(g) + 12H2O(l) ® C6H12O6(aq) + 6H2O(l) + 6O2(g)?
- To ensure mass balance in the reaction
- To follow the law of conservation of energy
- To account for the total number of water molecules produced
- To balance the oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation (correct)
In the compound AgF2, why does it act as a very strong oxidizing agent?
In the compound AgF2, why does it act as a very strong oxidizing agent?
- Due to the high electronegativity of silver
- Presence of highly electronegative fluorine atoms
- AgF2 readily accepts electrons to achieve a stable configuration (correct)
- AgF2 readily donates electrons to form stable compounds
