You have to calculate the oxidation estates of the atoms in each compound.
I will start with K2Cr2O7 because I believe that Cr is the best candidate to reduce its oxidation number in 3 units.
In K2Cr2O7:
- K has oxidation state of 1+, then K2 has a charge of 2* (1+) = 2+.
- O has oxidation state of 2*, then O7 has a charge of 7* (2-) = 14-.
That makes that Cr2 has charge of 14 - 2 = +12, so each Cr has +12/2 = +6 oxidation state.
In Cr2O3:
- O has oxidation state of 2-, then O3 has charge 3 * (2-) = - 6
- Then, Cr2 has charge 6+, and each Cr has charge 6+ / 2 = 3+.
So, we have seen that Cr reduced its oxidation state in 3 units, from 6+ to 3+.
Answer: Cr has a change in oxidation number of - 3.

Answer:
pH = 5.54
Explanation:
The pH of a buffer solution is given by the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach (H-H) equation</em>:
- pH = pKa + log
![\frac{[CH_3COO^-]}{[CH_3COOH]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5BCH_3COO%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BCH_3COOH%5D%7D)
For acetic acid, pKa = 4.75.
We <u>calculate the original number of moles for acetic acid and acetate</u>, using the <em>given concentrations and volume</em>:
- CH₃COO⁻ ⇒ 0.377 M * 0.250 L = 0.0942 mol CH₃COO⁻
- CH₃COOH ⇒ 0.345 M * 0.250 L = 0.0862 mol CH₃COOH
The number of CH₃COO⁻ moles will increase with the added moles of KOH while the number of CH₃COOH moles will decrease by the same amount.
Now we use the H-H equation to <u>calculate the new pH</u>, by using the <em>new concentrations</em>:
- pH = 4.75 + log
= 5.54
Answer
A. It changes the rate, R
Explanation
When we change the concentration of the reactants in a chemical reaction, it affects the rate of reaction that happens in the process. Typically, the rate of reaction will decrease with time if the concentration of the reactants decreases because the reactants will be converted to products. Similarly, the rate of reaction will increase when the concentration of reactants are increased.
Answer:
0.0917 mol Co(CrO₄)₃
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Using Dimensional Analysis
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
37.3 g Co(CrO₄)₃
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
Molar Mass of Co - 58.93 g/mol
Molar Mass of Cr - 52.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of Co(CrO₄)₃ - 58.93 + 3(52.00) + 12(16.00) = 406.93 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Convert</u>
<u />
= 0.091662 mol Co(CrO₄)₃
<u>Step 4: Check</u>
<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>
