Answer : The oxidation state of Cl is, (+3)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with sign (+ and -) first and then the magnitude.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is (-2).

The given molecule is, $Cl_2O_3$

Let the oxidation state of Cl be, 'x'

$2x+3(-2)=0$

$2x=+6$

$x=+3$

Thus, the oxidation state of Cl is, (+3)

Since Cl2O3 is a neutral compound, it has an overall charge of 0, which means that the total oxidation number of the compound is 0.

O has an oxidation number of 2- so, 3(2-)= 6-

to have an overall charge of 0, 6+ shpuld be added. Since there are 2 Cl's 6/2=3

Oxidation number of Cl is 3+

How does the number of Carbon atoms per molecule affect the state at room temperature? Explain how this is similar or different

RSB [31]

Explanation:

There are three states of matter:

1) Solid: In this state, the particles lie closer to each other. there is a strong intermolecular force of attraction between the particles.

2) Liquid: In this state, the particles are at a certain distance to each other. There is an intermediate intermolecular force of attraction between the particles.

3) Gas: In this state, the particles are farther from each other. There is weaker intermolecular force of attraction between the particles.

As the number of carbon atoms in a molecule increases, the number of particles increases and the particles will come closer to each other. Hence, the state of matter will shift towards the solid state.

Viscosity is defined as the tendency to resist the particles to flow. As, the number of carbon atoms increases, the Vander-Walls forces increases, the particles are closer to each other and Hence, the viscosity will increase.

Answer:

$Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)$

Explanation:

Although the context is not clear, let's look at the oxidation and reduction processes that will take place in a Fe/Sn system.

The problem states that anode is a bar of thin. Anode is where the process of oxidation takes place. According to the abbreviation 'OILRIG', oxidation is loss, reduction is gain. Since oxidation occurs at anode, this is where loss of electrons takes place. That said, tin loses electrons to become tin cation:

$Sn (s)\rightarrow Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-$

Similarly, iron is cathode. Cathode is where reduction takes place. Reduction is gain of electrons, this means iron cations gain electrons and produce iron metal:

$Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Fe (s)$

The net equation is then:

$Sn (s) + Fe^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)$

However, this is not the case, as this is not a spontaneous reaction, as iron metal is more reactive than tin metal, and this is how the coating takes place. This implies that actually anode is iron and cathode is tin:

Actual anode half-equation:

$Fe (s)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-$

Actual cathode half-equation:

$Sn^{2+} (aq) + 2e^-\rightarrow Sn (s)$

Actual net reaction:

$Fe (s) + Sn^{2+} (aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+} (aq) + Sn (s)$
