Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The oxidation number of oxidizing agent should be explained whether increases or decreases in a
Concept introduction:
Oxidation Numbers:
Oxidation Numbers is number, which gives the information about the number of electrons lost or gained by atom or element in the formation of compound by redox reaction.
Oxidation:
The atom are ion loosed its electron in the redox reaction is known as oxidation, in the oxidation increases the positive charge on atom or ion.
Reduction:
The atom are ion gains an electron from redox reaction is known as reduction, in the reduction increases the negative charge on atom or ion.
(b)
Interpretation:
The oxidation number of reducing agent should be explained whether increases or decreases in a redox reaction.
Concept introduction:
Oxidation:
In the
Reduction:
In the chemical reaction, the chemical substance gains the electrons in the reaction is known as reduction.
Oxidising reagent:
The chemical substance, which gains the electron from in the redox reaction is known as oxidising reagent.
Reducing reagent:
The chemical substance, which lost its electron in the redox reaction is known as reducing reagent.
(c)
Interpretation:
In the given incident of redox reaction whether the whether increases or decreases of oxidation number has to be explained.

- Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.arrow_forwardComplete the missing information in the following skeletion equation and balance the chemical equation: NaOH(aq)+3NaCl(aq)+Al(OH)3(aq)arrow_forward
