Two sodium atoms react with three water molecules to produce aqueous sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
a. Write the balanced chemical equation (include state designations)
b. Which reagent is limiting? Excess?

1. combine iron and copper (ii) sulfate solution. (hint: iron will form the iron (iii) ion) fe + cuso4 → 2. combine lead (ii) nitrate and potassium iodide solutions. pb(no3)2+ kl → 3. combine magnesium metal and hydrochloric acid solution. mg + hcl → 4. electrolysis (splitting) of water. h2o → 5. burning magnesium. mg + o2 →

Describe the difference between a. a hypothesis and a theory and b. an observation and an experiment.

Oxidation-reduction reactions (often called "redox" for short) are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another. oxidation states, or oxidation numbers, allow chemists to keep track of these electron transfers. in general, one element will lose electrons (oxidation), with the result that it will increase in oxidation number, and another element will gain electrons (reduction), thereby decreasing in oxidation number. the species that is oxidized is called the reducing agent or reductant. the species that is reduced is called the oxidizing agent or oxidant. to sum up: oxidation = increase in oxidation state = loss of electrons = reducing agent reduction = decrease in oxidation state = gain of electrons = oxidizing agent part a which element is oxidized in this reaction? fe2o3+3co→2fe+3co2 enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is oxidized part b which element is reduced in this reaction? 2hcl+2kmno4+3h2c2o4→6co2+2mno2+2kcl +4h2o enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is reduced
