First let's find out the oxidation number of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound.

The oxidation number of cation, K is +1. Hence, the total charge of the anion, [Fe(CN)₆] is -4. CN has charge has -1. There are 6 CN in anion. Let's assume the oxidation number of Fe is 'a'.

Sum of the oxidation numbers of each element  = Charge of the compound
                                                          a + 6 x (-1) = -4
                                                                     a -6 = -4
                                                                         a = +2

Hence, oxidation number of Fe in [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ is +2. 

Now Fe has the atomic number as 26. Hence, number of electrons in Fe at ground state is 26. 
Electron configuration = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶ 4s² = [Ar] 3d⁶ 4s²

When making Fe²⁺, Fe releases 2 electrons. Hence, the number of electrons in Fe²⁺ is 26 - 2 = 24.
Hence, the electron configuration of Fe²⁺ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶
                                                                      = [Ar] 3d⁶

Hence, the number of 3d electrons of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound is 6.

Given the following thermochemical equation 2N2O(g) → 2N2(g) + O2(g) ∆Hº = –166.7 kJ/mol find the amount of heat that will be pr
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g) + O₂(g)

molecular weight of N₂O = 44

∆Hº = –166.7 kJ/mol

44 g of N₂O decomposes to give 166.7 kJ of heat

2.25 g of N₂O decomposes to give 166.7 x 2.25 / 44 kJ of heat

= 8.51 kJ of heat .

How does a sample of water at 38 °C compare to a sample of water at 295 K? The water at 38 °C has a lower average kinetic energy
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The water at 38 °C has faster-moving molecules than the sample at 295 K.

Explanation:

Converting the temperature, 295 K from Kelvin to Celsius:

295 - 273 = 22°C

⇒The boiling point of water is 100°C  and its melting point 0°C

⇒When we compare water at those 2 different temperatures ( 22°C and 38°C) we can say that water is in liquid form at both these temperatures as both of them are quite below the boiling temperature and above the melting temperature.

⇒The difference in temperature between water at the 2 given  temperatures = 38°C - 22°C = 16°C

Water at 38°C is at a higher temperature and so is warmer than water at a lower temperature of 22°C.

At the atomic scale, the kinetic energy of atoms and molecules is sometimes referred to as heat energy. Kinetic energy is also related to the concept of temperature. Temperature is defined as the measure of the average speed of atoms and molecules. The higher the temperature, the faster these particles of matter move.
