<u>Answer:</u> The oxidation state of iodine atom in the given compound is +5.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation state is the number that is assigned to an element when it gains or looses electrons. If an element gains electron, it will attain a negative oxidation state and if the element looses electrons, it will attain a positive oxidation state.

For the given chemical compound: $Mg(IO_3)_2$

We take the oxidation state of iodine atom be 'x'

Oxidation state of magnesium atom = +2

Oxidation state of oxygen atom = -2

Evaluating the oxidation state of iodine atom:

$+2+2x+6(-2)=0\\\\x=+5$

Hence, the oxidation state of iodine atom in the given compound is +5.

The oxidation number of iodine is 5 in Mg(IO3)2 which can be calculated as
Mg(IO3)2
MgI2O6
As we know that
Mg has +2
O has -2
So,
(+2) + 2I + 6 (-2)=0
2 + 2I - 12 =0
10+ 2I =0
10 = 2I
I =5

What is the scaling factor if the molar mass of

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The scaling factor is 5.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the scaling factor is defined as the ratio of the molar mass of the molecular formula (complete) to the empirical formula (simplified), it is possible to compute it for the empirical formula of CH2O whose molar mass is 30 g/mol (12+2+16) as shown below:

$sf=150/30=5$

Therefore, we can also infer that the molecular formula would be:

$C_5H_1_0O_5$

Best regards!

Why can't scientists simply use carbon-12 (12C) do determine

Alex

Answer:

carbon-12 is not radioactive

Explanation:

The measurement of the age of dead carbon based life forms requires the use of a radioactive isotope hence it is often referred to as radiocarbon dating.

Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 occur together in living things.The half life of Carbon-14 is about 5670 years.

Hence, since Carbon-12 is not radioactive, it can not be used to measure the age of dead carbon based materials.

A 0.1375-g sample of solid magnesium is burned in a constant-volume bomb calorimeter that has a heat capacity of 3024 J/°C. The

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

-24.76 kJ/g; -601.8 kJ/mol

Explanation:

There are two heat flows in this experiment.

Heat from reaction + heat absorbed by calorimeter = 0

q1 + q2 = 0

mΔH + CΔT = 0

Data:

m = 0.1375 g

C = 3024 J/°C

ΔT = 1.126 °C

Calculations:

0.1375ΔH + 3024 × 1.126 = 0

0.1375ΔH + 3405 = 0

0.1375ΔH = -3405

ΔH = -24 760 J/g = -24.76 kJ/g

ΔH = -24.76 kJ/g ×24.30 g/mol = -601.8 kJ/mol
