What is the oxidation number for iodine in Mg(IO3)2 ?

Chemistry

<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 approximate temperature of the descending air at an elevation of 1,600 meters?
Margarita [4]
According to Diagram B, look at the 1600 elevation until you see the descending air line touches it. Then look down at the temperature at the bottom of the graph. It is between 0 degrees to 5 degrees.

The only number that is between that range is 2 degrees C.

Why can a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Molecules in a liquid have less force of attraction as compared to solids. But liquid molecules have more force of attraction as compared to gases.

Since molecules of a gas are held together by weak Vander waal forces, therefore, they expand to fill the container whereas molecules in a liquid are not expanded in a container like gases because of more force of attraction within molecules of liquids as compared to gases.

Hence, a liquid can take the shape of container in which it is kept.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself because the particles of a liquid are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand.
