<u>Answer:</u> The oxidation number of magnesium in magnesium chloride is +2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation number is defined as 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 number and if an element looses electron, it will attain a positive oxidation number.

The chemical formula for magnesium chloride is MgCl_2

We take the oxidation state of magnesium atom be 'x'.

Oxidation state of chlorine atom = -1

Evaluating the oxidation number of magnesium atom:

x+2(-1)=0\\\\x=+2

Hence, the oxidation number of magnesium in the given compound is +2.

What is the potential energy of the reactants from the following energy diagram?
slavikrds [6]
The potential energy of the reactants is 200J.
From the energy diagram, the energy of the product formed is 350J; this means that, this reaction is an endothermic reaction, because it absorbs energy from its environment.<span />

A 50.0-mL volume of 0.15 M HBr is titrated with 0.25 M KOH. Calculate the pH after the addition of 13.0 mL of KOH. Express your
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

pH= 1.17

Explanation:

The neutralization reaction between HBr (acid) and KOH (base) is given by the following equation:

HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) → KBr(aq) + H₂O(l)

According to this equation, 1 mol of HBr reacts with 1 mol of KOH. Then, the moles can be expressed as the product between the molarity of the acid/base solution (M) and the volume in liters (V). So, we calculate the moles of acid and base:

<u>Acid</u>:

M(HBr) = 0.15 M = 0.15 mol/L

V(HBr) = 50.0 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.05 L

moles of HBr = M(HBr) x V(HBr) = 0.15 mol/L x 0.05 L = 7.5 x 10⁻³ moles HBr

<u>Base</u>:

M(KOH) = 0.25 M = 0.25 mol/L

V(HBr) = 13.0 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.013 L

moles of HBr = M(HBr) x V(HBr) = 0.25 mol/L x 0.013 L = 3.25 x 10⁻³ moles KOH

Now, we have: 7.5 x 10⁻³ moles HBr > 3.25 x 10⁻³ moles KOH

HBr is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base, so they are completely dissociated in water: the acid produces H⁺ ions and the base produces OH⁻ ions. So, the difference between the moles of HBr and the moles of KOH is equal to the moles of remaining H⁺ ions after neutralization:

moles of H⁺ = 7.5 x 10⁻³ moles HBr - 3.25 x 10⁻³ moles KOH = 4.25 x 10⁻³ moles H⁺

From the definition of pH:

pH = -log [H⁺]

The concentration of H⁺ ions is calculated from the moles of H⁺ divided into the total volume:

total volume = V(HBr) + V(KOH) = 0.05 L + 0.013 L = 0.063 L

[H⁺] = (moles of H⁺)/(total volume) = 4.25 x 10⁻³ moles/0.063 L = 0.067 M

Finally, we calculate the pH after neutralization:

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log (0.067) = 1.17
