Answer : The oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)
Explanation :
Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.
Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.
When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.
Rules for Oxidation Numbers :
The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.
The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.
The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.
The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.
The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.
The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.
The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.
The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.
The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.
The given compound is,
Let the oxidation state of 'Cl' be, 'x'
Therefore, the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)
The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:
A sample of household ammonia has a pH of 11.50. What is the hydronium ion concentration of this solution?
Answer: The hydronium ion concentration of the solution is
Explanation:
pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14.
Thus hydronium ion concentration of this solution is
