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.

Question 2*
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Sc(OH)₃ = 96 g/mol

Explanation:

Gram formula mass:

Gram formula mass is the atomic mass of one mole of any substance.

It can be calculated by adding the mass of each atoms present in substance.

Sc(OH)₃:

Atomic mass of Sc = 45 amu

Atomic mas of O = 16 amu

There are three atoms of O = 16 ×3

Atomic mas of H = 1 amu

There are three atoms of H = 1 ×3

Gram formula mass of Sc(OH)₃:

Sc(OH)₃ = 45 ×1 + 16 ×3 + 1  ×3

Sc(OH)₃ = 96 g/mol

An acetylene tank has a volume of 390.0 L. It is stored at a temperature of 23.5 °C and has a
xeze [42]

Considering the ideal gas law,  there are 279.42 moles of acetylene in the tank.

<h3>Definition of ideal gas</h3>

Ideal gases are a simplification of real gases that is done to study them more easily. It is considered to be formed by point particles, do not interact with each other and move randomly. It is also considered that the molecules of an ideal gas, in themselves, do not occupy any volume.

<h3>Ideal gas law</h3>

An ideal gas is characterized by three state variables: absolute pressure (P), volume (V), and absolute temperature (T). The relationship between them constitutes the ideal gas law, an equation that relates the three variables if the amount of substance, number of moles n, remains constant and where R is the molar constant of gases:

P×V = n×R×T

<h3>Moles of acetylene</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • P= 1765 kPa= 17.4192 atm (being 101.325 kPa= 1 atm)
  • V= 390 L
  • n= ?
  • R= 0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}
  • T= 23.5 °C= 296.5 K (being 0 °C= 273 K)

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

17.4192 atm× 390 L = n×0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}× 296.5 K

Solving:

n=\frac{17.4192 atmx 390 L}{0.082 \frac{atmL}{molK}x296.5 L}

<u><em>n= 279.42 moles</em></u>

Finally, there are 279.42 moles of acetylene in the tank.

Consider this synthesis of isoamyl acetate based on this week's experimental methods, after refluxing the reaction mixture for 2
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

acetic acid and phosphoric acid

Explanation:

After refluxing the reaction mixture ( synthesis of isoamyl acetate ) what is likely present in the solution is acetic acid and phosphoric acid, this due to the fact that if the reaction time between the reactants was less than the refluxing time which is 25 minutes,

there will be no reactant ( 3-methylbutanol )left in the reaction mixture

Why does naphthol react with sodium hydroxide? why does ethanol not react to the extent that naphthol does with sodium hydroxide
igomit [66]

Answer:

Conjugate base of naphthol is highly stable but conjugate base of ethanol is unstable.

Explanation:

Naphthol gives acid base reaction with NaOH where naphthol acts as an acid and NaOH as a base.

Reactivity of naphthol towards NaOH is quite high because the conjugate base of naphthol is highly stable. Stability of the conjugate base arises due to delocalization of negative charge on oxygen atom into aromatic naphthalene ring.

Ethanol is not so reactive towards NaOH because the ethoxide ion is highly unstable due to lack of delocalization of negative charge on oxygen atom.

Resonance structures of conjugate base of naphthol has been shown below.
