<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

For the following reaction, 22.6 grams of nitrogen monoxide are allowed to react with 4.64 grams of hydrogen gas . nitrogen mono

Answer:

- 10.5 g of N₂

- Limiting reagent: NO

- 3.13 g of H₂ remains

Explanation:

First of all we state the reaction: 2NO(g) + 2H₂(g) → 2H₂O(l) + N₂(g)

We need to find out the limiting reactant and the excess reagent

Ratio in the reactants is 2:2. Let's convert the mass to moles:

22.6 g / 30 g/mol = 0.753 moles of NO

4.64 g / 2 g/mol = 2.32 moles of H₂

Certainly the limiting reagent is the NO and the excess reactant is the hydrogen:

- For 0.753 moles of NO, we need 0.753 moles of H₂ (we have 2.32 moles)

- For 2.32 moles of H₂, we need 2.32 moles of NO (and we don't have enough NO, because we only have 0.753 moles)

As the H₂ is the excess reagent, some moles still remains after the reaction is complete → 2.32 mol - 0.753 mol = 1.567 moles

We convert the moles to mass: 1.567 mol . 2g /1mol = 3.13 g of H₂ remains

As the NO is the limiting reagent, we can work with the equation:

We propose this rule of three: 2 moles of NO can produce 1 mol of N₂

Then, 0.753 moles of NO must produce (0.753 . 1) /2 = 0.376 moles of N₂

We convert the moles to mass 0.376 mol . 28 g / 1 mol = 10.5 g
