The oxidation state of a pure element is always zero.

The oxidation state for a pure ion is equivalent to its ionic charge.

What is oxidation state?

The oxidation state or oxidation number, is the hypothetical charge of an atom if all of its bonds to different atoms were fully ionic. The oxidation state may be positive, negative or zero.

What are the rules to write the oxidation number?

1. The atoms in pure elements have oxidation number of ZERO.

2. The more-electronegative element in a binary molecular compound is assigned the number equal to the negative charge it would have as an anion. The less-electronegative element is assigned the number equal to the positive charge it would have as a cation.

3. Fluorine always has an oxidation number of -1 in compounds because it is the most electronegative element.

4. Oxygen is usually -2 unless in peroxides (then it is -1) or with fluorine.

5. Hydrogen has +1 in all compounds containing elements that are more electronegative than it, and is -1 in compounds with metals.

6. The algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

7. The algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

8. Although rules 1-7 apply to covalently bonded atoms, oxidation numbers can also be assigned to atoms in ionic compound. Monoatomic ions have oxidation numbers equal to their ionic charge.

Calculate the empirical formula of each of the following substances with the following compositions.
OleMash [197]

Explanation:

Note: Molar masses of elements can be found online or in the periodic table.

Moles of Magnesium

= 3.60g / (24.3g/mol) = 0.148mol.

Moles of Chlorine

= 10.65g / (35.45g/mol) = 0.300mol.

Mole ratio of Magnesium to Chlorine

= 0.148mol : 0.300mol = 1 : 2.

Hence we have the empirical formula MgCl2.

Moles of Lithium

= 9.1g / (6.94g/mol) = 1.311mol.

Moles of Oxygen

= 10.4g / (16g/mol) = 0.650mol.

Moles ratio of Lithium to Oxygen

= 1.311mol : 0.650mol = 2 : 1.

Hence we have the empirical formula Li2O.

The half life of radium-226 is 1600 years. If you have 200 grams of radium today how many grams would be present in 8000 years?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Half life is the time taken by a radio active isotope to reduce by half of its original amount. Radium-226 has a half life of 1602 years meaning that it would take 1602 years for a mass of radium to reduce by half.

Number of half lives in 9612 years = 9612/1602 = 6 half lives

New mass = Original mass x (1/2)n where n is the number of half lives.

Therefore, New mass= 500 x (1/2)∧6

                                 = 500 x 0.015625

                                 = 7.8125 g

Hence the mass of radium after 9612 years will be 7.8125 grams.
