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.

Consider 0.01 m aqueous solutions of each of the following. a) NaI; b) CaCl2; c) K3PO4; and d) C6H12O6 (glucose) Arrange the sol
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The solutions are ordered by this way (from lowest to highest freezing point):  K₃PO₄ < CaCl₂ < NaI < glucose

Option d, b, a and c

Explanation:

Colligative property: Freezing point depression

The formula is: ΔT = Kf . m . i

ΔT = Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution

We need to determine the i, which is the numbers of ions dissolved. It is also called the Van't Hoff factor.

Option d, which is glucose is non electrolyte so the i = 1

a. NaI →  Na⁺  +  I⁻        i =2

b. CaCl₂ →  Ca²⁺  +  2Cl⁻      i =3

c. K₃PO₄ → 3K⁺ + PO₄⁻³     i=4

Potassium phosphate will have the lowest freezing point, then we have the calcium chloride, the sodium iodide and at the end, glucose.

andriy [413]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 3. Run a test reaction of crude oil with ocean water over time with Oil Spill Eater present

Explanation:

In any laboratory experiment, all the apparatus needed to carry out a particular experiment must be provided. In this case, our apparatus will be crude oil with ocean water and oil spill eater which is the enzyme used.

We can then run a test reaction of crude oil with ocean water over time with Oil Spill Eater present.
