2.20 Oxidization

By -
Oxidization 
Metals and metal oxides 



Example 

 Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper

Magnesium has been oxidized to magnesium oxide 
Copper has been reduced to copper

Copper oxide is the oxidizing agent
- it oxidizes but gets reduced in the process

Mg is the reducing agent
- it reduces the CuO to Cu but gets oxidized in the process

e.g. Ca + ZnO --> CaO + Zn

1.35 understand how to carry out calculations involving gas volumes and the molar volume of gas

By Anonymous -
At standard temperature and pressure, one mole of any gas will occupy 24000 cm3; also known as 24dm3. Calculating molar volume from mass Example: 976 cm 3 of oxygen was found to have a mass of 1.3 g Calculate the molar volume of oxygen, under these conditions. Volume = mass x no. of moles Mass of oxygen, O 2 , = 32.0 g. Volume of 1 g = 976 ÷ 1.3 Hence, 32 g = (976 ÷ 1.3) × 32 = 24024 cm 3 Answer: 24.0 is the volume of 32.0 g of O 2 .
