Determine the oxidation state of Cl in CIO3. A +3 B +7 C 0 D +1 E +5

Chemistry
1 answer:
Crazy boy [7]1 year ago
4 0

Answer:

E.) +5

Explanation:

Oxygen always has -2 oxidation number.

Because there are 3 oxygen atoms present, this means oxygen is contributing a -6 charge (-2 x 3 = -6).

Therefore, since the overall molecule is -1, chlorine must have an oxidation number of +5 to cancel all of the negative charges but 1.

You can also think of the problem like an equation. In this equation, "x" is the oxidation number of chlorine, (-2) is the oxidation number of oxygen, (3) is the number of oxygen atoms present, and the equation is set equal to (-1) because that is the overall charge of the molecule.

x - 2(3) = -1

x - 6 = -1

x = 5

How could we stop an asteroid that we know was going to hit Earth?<br><br><br> Pls help ASAP
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

An object with a high mass close to the Earth could be sent out into a collision course with the asteroid, knocking it off course. When the asteroid is still far from the Earth, a means of deflecting the asteroid is to directly alter its momentum by colliding a spacecraft with the asteroid.

Hope it helps!!

HELP
Natalka [10]

Explanation:

To find the amount of product that would be formed from two or more reactants, we need to follow the following steps;

  • Find the number of moles of the given reactants.
  • Then proceed to determine the limiting reactant. The limiting reactant is the one in short supply which determines the extent of the reaction.
  • Use the number of moles of the limiting reactant to find the number of moles of the product.
  • Then use this number of moles to find the mass of the product

Useful expression:

    Mass   =  number of moles x molar mass
