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.

What mass of CaCO3 is required to react completely with 0.56 L of HCl?
Lina20 [59]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
CaCO₃ + 2HCl ----> CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂
stoichiometry of CaCO₃ to HCl is 1:2
molar volume states that 1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L at STP.
volume of 22.4 L occupied by 1 mol
therefore 0.56 L occupied by - 0.56 L / 22.4 L/mol = 0.025 mol
number of HCl moles reacted - 0.025 mol
2 mol of HCl reacts with 1 mol of CaCO₃
therefore 0.025 mol reacts with - 0.025/2 = 0.0125 mol 
mass of CaCO₃ required - 0.0125 mol x 100 g/mol = 1.25 g 
1.25 g of CaCO₃ is required

A) Devices that transfer kinetic energy have what for their source of power?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

A) Devices that transfer kinetic energy have a source of power that is in motion

Kinetic energy is the energy in motion, as such, a device that transfers kinetic energy transfers the energy the power source has into other energy forms

B) Kerosene does not easily cold start like diesel which can burn after compression

C) The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved and it can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be changed from one form to another.

Therefore, when energy is not available in a given location or body, it cannot be obtained from that body or location

Match each part of the electrochemical cell with its function.
umka21 [38]

Hi!


The correct options would be:

1. Cathode - <em>reduction</em>

The cathode is the negatively charged electrode, and so has an excess of electrons. Cations (positively charged ions) are attracted to the cathode, and gain electrons to acquire a neutral charge. The process in which a gain of electron occurs is called reduction.


2. Anode - <em>oxidation</em>

The opposite occurs at the anode which is positively charged and attracts negatively charged ions, anions. These anions lose their electrons at the anode to acquire a neutral charge, and the process involving loss of electrons is known as oxidation.


3. Salt Bridge - <em>ion transport </em>

Salt bridge is a physical connection between the the anodic and cathodic half cells in an electrochemical cell and is a pathway that facilitates the flow of ions back and forth these half cells. Salt bridge is involved in maintaining a neutral condition in the electrochemical cells, and its absence would result in the accumulation of positive charge in the anodic cell, and negative charge in the cathodic cell.


4. Wire - <em>electron transport </em>

Wires have a universal role of being a pathway for the transport of electrons in circuit. This role is also the same in the wires involved in an electrochemical cells where they are used to transport electrons from the anodic half cell, and this electron transport results in the generation of electricity in the internal circuit of the electrochemical cell.


Hope this helps!
